I have been killing this one with my Evo V on sports hards running 1:32ish laps. Not even a challenge. In fact, I didn't even realize you could use sports soft until after I won it a few times.
 
Did this in a premium R34 Skyline that already had a 500pp tune on it from another seasonal.

I forgot how absolutely stable that thing was.
 
I took the RUF (brain melt, can't remember the model but it's the only 4wd) out for a spin on SH tires. Then another, and 3 more as it was such good fun. Lots of sideways smoking and a very easy win. I freaking love this car.
 
Thought I'd give the Tommykaira ZZII a run. Even with the power reduced to 56.1% this car still flies - sub-8 minutes races and winning margins of around 16 secs. Great car.

Next I thought it's time to go back to the '80s, and bought a Ford RS200 '84. Tuned it up a little to 499pp. Another great car I never knew about! It's a bit tail happy but lots of fun for the entire family around this track, with a racetime of about 8 minutes and winning margin of about 15 secs (even with a schmuck like me driving) :dunce:.

Never having tuned a FF car before I thought I would try it on the Golf I had after seeing the tune for it in Praiano's list, oops it's a 4wd, not a loss, just added enough power to make it a 500PP from a 450 and raced this seasonal. lol What an easy win. I would have completely underestimated the Golf as a 4wd had I not made this mistake. I thought I'd check again what other winning margins were before I posted mine. WHAT? I had about 8:15 and only won by 5 seconds, maybe the car isn't that good, then I saw u could use SS tires,what are mine.... hmmm, OMG Comfort Soft? As badly as I drive I did 7:50 and almost 23.5 winning margin I'm gonna go paint it now and put some decent wheels on it and make it a regular. Anyone not having tried it I'd give it a go it drives very well for my style, which is admittedly sloppy but it made me drive a bit more proper. Another thanks to Praiano for a great tune and thanks to Wydopen for mentioning the tires.
