Hi Shaun!
As previously said, now on holidays, the review on the SZ by points:
- Race at LM700 detuned version, no high MrT and power output adjusted
The car handling is flawless, great control, cornering grip and rotation is excellent. FM is very good on 6, enough for 4 laps with no need to change tyres. Done on RH and no loss of grip noted, added with the bonus of lasting longer... But now the reason why I said it was one of the most bizarre races:

See the 21 seconds gap? Seems so little for such a long race, right? The reason is very simple: HEAVY RAIN IN THE ENTIRE RACE!!!!
It was a nightmare! Had to do a full lap at 60mph on super heavy rain (Racing Hards) and watching everyone passing me like there was no tomorrow... When finally arrived at the pit changed to Intermediates and managed to get from 2nd to last to 1st... While driving like a maniac! Being said, the car handled great!
Now to the 2nd part:
- Race at Sardegna 800PP tune as is only changed BB to 0
OK, now this one is hard to explain/review, so gonna do a bit different of the points:

The high RPM Turbo (for me) it ruins the car!, I know, seems a bit harsh, but le me explain:
- The Turbo indeed gives the car a big boost, but it kills many aspects of it, meaning, the FM is a bit bad, even on 6 had to do 3 pistops and ran out of fuel on the last corner before the finish line...
- The lag/boost kick the car has makes the front lift (strongly believe its related to fact this car has low downforce settings and not from your tune) causing a very strange understeer and almost losing mid-cornering capability. This also affected the braking/brake balance, so had to change it back to 0 in order to gain some braking power...
- It felt to me like all the car weight was in back, giving good traction for early acceleration on corner exit, but almost losing the car steering...
In conclusion (and sorry for being a long and boring readind post) you tune is superb indeed, it is a shame that the car is not up to the challenge and to cope with more power... But removing the turbo is another story...
In the end it's a VGT right?
TY Shaun!! 👍
