Review:
This one surprised me coming from you. This car is far from tame! Interesting approach with the transmission, and it works pretty well except for the higher RPMs coming up to the 1st turn costing a little more than a tenth in the first section compared to others. The power sliding was fun, but it kills speed and 9 out of 10 times it was a little unpredictable on most of the turns. Being able to carry speed consistently through Turns 8 & 9 was very nicely thought out though.
Recommendation:
One thing I didn't want to destroy was the transmission just to get a faster 1st section, possibly sacrificing other parts of the track. So, I wanted to get the rear end a little more manageable/predictable without changing too much. I adjusted the Rear Spring down from 5.40 to 4.50. It still slides but it is easier to hold/predict the slide allowing for more confidence getting the power to the ground increasing exit speed. Doing this took off 5 tenths/lap.

Review
Like the other tunes, my own tune has some under steer going on but the rear of the car definitely gives this car confidence to push it through the slalom section which made a huge different in the time I could get out of the tune. I will leave the critical analysis of my tune to other testers but this tune is fun, fast and consistent in my hands. That’s all a tune needs to be really.

Impressions of the tune
Great car to throw around the track. Feels light and nimble but you will have to manage the rear end.

This was a very safe and stable tune which is what I expected. Shaun does a great job of keeping folks in the gold in the seasonal events and many of my cars are based off his tunes. The car had good braking and initial turn in everywhere with some minor exit oversteer if you got too zealous. There were no places it excelled but also no corners it had trouble with. Overall a good tune.

Comments: I loved the turn in capabilities of this tune. If I hit the apex perfectly it would hold it through entry and mid-corner perfectly, although if I was over zealous with the throttle on exit the back end would pass me on the straights! The brakes and trans we're right on! Very well done tune, which I expected from a veteran. Well Done!

- Feels heavy an slight ly unresponsive to steerin
- Bogs down between 5th and 6th harming speed
- Good amount of grip but resists being pushed
- Needs to be driven carefully to get speed out of it
- Not my kind of car but not a bad drive when you drive the way it wants
Overall Result
. Just for fun I'm trying my own tune there. 1:53.xx so far with 162mph on the straight. It'll be interesting to see what the semi-aliens can do with the car. Good luck
. I still have quite a few kinks to work out on that track. Will you put me down as tentative just in case?
Low 1:55s now...back to the drawing board 
. Its still a really fun car though
