Try the Asano X4, one of the more forgiving vehicles to drive.
Using the car in my screenshot I posted, steering feels way too light as well.

thats one of the harder cars to drive by far, try the racers or the asano X4 as Jim suggested
the reason for the steering feeling light is a bit complicated, but if you mess with the FFB settings (the XML file, not the in game stuff) you can probably get it how you want it.
pretty much every commercial wheel isnt powerful enough to deliver the same forces that you feel in a real car. i cant remember the name of it, but a low spec racing car that a few of the forum members have driven produces, on average, about 300% more force than a logitech G27 can produce at maximum. when it goes over large bumps it can occasionally produce enough force to break or damage some of the welds in the steering assembly, and easily hurt anyone holding the wheel without gloves.
obviously the G27 (and a lot of the other more expensive wheels) cant produce anything like this amount of force, so the force is scaled down to fit within the wheels range of force. the way the devs have set this scaling is to produce slightly less force on average compared to other racing games, leaving more force available for those sharp jolts you get. this makes the jolts more likely to take the wheel away from you, but it makes the overall steering lighter
this can be changed with the FFB tweakers document, but you'd have to have a good read of the document to work out what you needed to change to get the heavier steering without the wheel being asked to produce more force than its able to (and losing some of that information through clipping)
*edit*
heres the thread about changing the FFB settings. the OP has a link to a guide to the FFB settings, a download link and installation instructions (save file in certain place with certain name)

nope, you need a program like MSI afterburner or FRAPS to take a screenshot. however, ctrl + f gives you free control of the camera which helps for screenies
for a full list of commands look here: http://forum.wmdportal.com/downloads.php
in other news i think i can finally stop banging on about bathurst and the stock car: http://cars-stats.wmdportal.com/index.php/leaderboard?track=1&vehicle=20

has anyone tried the new 300 series drivers with CARS yet? (the WHQL ones)
I've been using the 301.40 set that was released a few days ago, they've been flawless.
So i imagine the 301.42 will be the same.
Got a GT3 RS on the way, gonna definitely try this out over summer, even if it is just me being a graphics **** 
Finally making the swap from Xbox, fingers crossed they get some form of upgrading system for street cars or some drift cars in as it's so much fun and LFS is getting really dated nowadays.

Loving the two wheels at the end of the first lap 
Literally just downloaded this (7mins, just been upgraded to virgins 60MB broadband!) 
For €10, its gotta be worth it, even at this stage of development, and have to say I'm pretty impressed so far.
Lol same here. Found a track I kind of know ( donnington) jumped in the 2011 F1 car. 20 laps later and I've just recorded my first lap time! Pretty harsh when going off the track not only scraps the current lap but the next one as well!
Only playing with an Xbox controller ATM, will have to dig my old MS wheel out at the weekend. No doubt a new FFB wheel will be on the cards come payday

this should only happen if you go off in the last sector. the devs have also said that they will eventually make the next lap be invalidated if you go off in the last few corners because some tracks have a really long last sector (eg. Loire) but its a low priority thing so probably wont happen for a little while
for those who are interested there is now a thread being kept up to date with what has been done towards multiplayer and what still needs to be done:

Can't wait for the multiplayer.
Yeah, pretty sure it was only when going off in the last sector (although will have to double check as I do think I got one half way round the track at one point), and no issues with it really as it's there for good reason

what are your current specs? you can get away with a surprisingly low end PC with CARS even though its in development with very little optimisations
minimum specs are:
CPU – 3.0GHz Dual-Core, 2.4GHz Quad-Core
GRAPHICS – nVidia 9600 GT 512Mb, ATI Radeon HD 4750 512Mb
MEMORY – 2Gb RAM (3Gb-4Gb recommended)
CONNECTION – Continuous Internet
