This will be my results post.
Hello all this is the first time for me as a tester, comfort softs are not normally my choice of tyre but was suprised with the grip on some of the cars,
so to do justice to your tunes i did a minimum of 35 laps per car and then some.
I used a DS3 with sensitivity 7, automatic transmission, ABS 1 and driving line on.
These will be the first reviews i have ever given to anyone and being a man of few words i have spent nearly as much time on the reviews as the testing( well maybe not that long but it seems like it)
Seeing as XD's car was the first cab of the rank without having spent a great deal of time on this track or tyres beforehand i'll give the Cosmo another run later.
XDesperado67 - Mazda Cosmo Sport (L10A) '67,...1.21.483
This was the first car i tried and didn't take too long to get used to the comfort softs very easy car to drive, good acceleration going up the hill and was one of the easiest to get the two long right handers reasonably right
i used the ghost as a benchmark for the others and was frustrated at seeing its rear end going up the hill after getting a good lead down the hill in the other cars.
Overall a good solid tune, a little slidey in some corners but always in control.
2/5
ACSR421 - Nissan 240ZG (HS30) 71...1.21.973
A very enjoyable ride, i did over 50 laps in this thing trying to keep in front of the Cosmo on the uphill section but it just wasn't to be, so frustrating,
the grip of this car gives a lot of confidence taking the long right hander before the tunnel at full throttle without any oversteer, it was just point and go , very hard to get into trouble with the car,would be good long distance racer.
1/5
Digitalbaka..BMW 2002 Turbo 73...1.21.944
My head hurts, way too much concentration needed to keep this car pointing in the right direction, in saying that i found that the turn in for the first section of corners was quite good, then you hit the sweeper before the bridge
and you just can't accelerate out of it,evan at half throttle it wants to slide, i had no problems with the s curve after the tunnel, once i got used to the car i could go through at full throttle.
Over all a pretty good tune except for the rear end
3/5
TrackRipper - Isuzu 117 Coupe "68 ...1.22.027
I tried and i tried but i just couldn't get that perfect lap, the 1.21s are definitly there, i just couldn't get a good rhythm through the hairpins, the car stays stable with hardly any loss of traction at full throttle going through the right hand sweeper before the tunnell, the s curve was never an issue,while the sweeper at the top of the hill
gave me joy a few times with a perfect pass.
Overall another good tune that doesn't dissapoint.
2/5
NEWDRIVER2 -Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R '73' ...1.21.788
Got the 1.21.788 on the second lap and thats where it stopped, 33 laps later and i just couldn't improve (maybe i'm all Eiger'd out). I tried so many different lines on the downhill but just couldn't compete with the Cosmo, on the uphill section it would close the gap only to stumble on the downhill again.
Overall another fine tune with good stability and handling , just lacking a little in the hairpins.
2/5
Theo777--Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale : 1:21:893
An enjoyable ride, gets through the hairpins with good turn in much like the BMW ,the sweepers at the bottom and top of the hill gave the most trouble getting power to the wheels without too much wheelspin, has good speed going up the hill and the after a few laps the s curve was no problem. Sleightly better than the BMW to drive with the lack of traction being the only problem.
2.5/5
Krenkme-- Samba Bus...1:22:287
Will catch a few people unawares, this bus is pretty quick on the downhill and gets through the first two hairpins with little effort, the last hairpin before the uphill was a different story,i had more crashes here than anyother car, whatever lead i had from here dissapeared before the tunnel,it handles well through the S's and most of the course but just lacks the uphill performance.
3/5
MrMelancholy-- Skyline 2000 GT-R '73...1:21:710
Another good setup for this car, has a bit better turn into the hairpins but less traction than Newdriver2's car through the sweepers, only marginally quicker but more concentration needed to get it there.
2/5
McGrado-- Karman Ghia Coupe (Type 1)'68'...1:22;492
I realy enjoyed this ride from the wheelstand after flying through the air to the way the rear just glided around the hairpins and sweepers ,had to be gentle on the gas on all corners to stop wheelspin but quite manageable, no problems through the S's.Another great tune.
2/5
Special Guest-- Alpine A110 1600 S '73--1:21:374
This car felt good from the very start, has good turn in through the hairpins ,up through the first sweeper in 4th gear with barely a slide under power,the quickest going up the hill taking the S's with ease, the last sweeper is the corner that i have had trouble with in all the cars (with the occasional lucky one ) , i am just not consistant enough on that corner,for me the car has it all,stability ,handling, power and good looks as well.
1/5
Congratulations to all you tuners on a job well done

Going to start right now.
I specified -10/-10 in the actual tune on my Tuning Garage thread, I'm sorry for the confusion. I thought, though, that it reset all of my tuning parameters back to stock. Last time I borrowed a car from someone, their tune wasn't there, so I just sorta thought that it didn't happen.
