Question Steering jitter on track

Morning all
I finally got my car out onto the track recently and I had something im not sure is normal.
When powering out of some tight corners I got a jitter in the steering, almost felt like a playstation feedback rumble.

I have a few theories of what it could be but has anyone else had something similar?
Is it normal, this is the first car I have had with electric steering

My theories are
Electronic feedback in the steering rack (like synchro jitter)
Stability control doing something with the front wheels

Anyone got any ideas?

Hello from the States!!
Good theories, i don't think either of them is true, however.


Stability control has almost NEVER done anything to my front wheels coming out of a corner.
Electronic feedback never heard of that one before


I think it's the tires (or alignment) searching for grip out of a corner.


Thoughts?

Seems like something is worn out, how are the lower control arms.

Are you sure it’s not under steer? Front tires vibrate when this happens and you feel this through the steering wheel too.

It could very well be the tires wearing. I've had this at times in the past... mid corner. Almost feels like wheel bearings wearing out but it's just some strange sensation with the tires wearing.

Could be chunks of rubber sticking to hot tires and when you lean it in the corners it has a strange sensation. I go down pit road and scrub the tires when it happens.
