Best Lap: 1:07.991
I'm in the process of re-running the other 4 tunes I previously reviewed, as I expect all lap times to increase. At the current time, this would have been the first tune that broke into the .07's, but just prior to this tune, I ran a 1:07.494 with a tune that was PM'd to me. So, until I can compare all times on an equal playing field, I'll focus on the cars habits.
For the most part, I found the car to be very strong all around. The only real issue I had with the car, was I found it to be loose on exit, in tighter, middle speed corners, under acceleration. This small factor can be easily remedied with some throttle control, but it wasn't needed in previous tunes I've driven. It did come in handy on higher speed exits, as the car seems to have better exit than I remember the other tunes having. This tune seemed to take the 'mountain' corner the best of all tunes, even ones that produced faster lap times. Your tune is by far softer than all others, and could be the cause of the looseness on exit, but I'd first try upping rear downforce to 50 before I started toying with spring rates, to see if it has any effect on exit stability. Again, throttle control can completely take care of the issue, and for people who like the ability to force oversteer when needed, this tune can be a valuable tool. But my personal preference, is that a car with this much grip, I should be able to just mash the gas and never be forced to consider finesse
