Aye. And I'm just getting warmed up. 
There's a little more time to be had. I know it.
(I suffered a cracked rib injury and had to unwillingly sit this one out but I'm on the mend so I've started driving again. It actually hurts to move the steering wheel. Beer to the rescue. )

Well keep a record of your times in the cars if you "some how" manage to finish them would love to add you to the testers bunch 👍 andAye. And I'm just getting warmed up.

you're stupid fast.indeed it is. But my fat fingers have been a problem for 30 years
or rather quick fingers and slow eyes.Anyone friends with one of the resident Aliens? Maybe they could spare a few hours and blow up this challenge with times that make us humans go "Whaa?"

Where do you think you'll end up time wise?Aye. And I'm just getting warmed up.

Personally I didn't see what was wrong with buttons, touch screens have been my least favourite technological advance of the last decade

Sorry to interrupt guys.
But speaking from lots of experience, that will only work for so long before all the tracks look the same 
One thing I'd like to know from all the testers is what controller, method such as buttons or sticks etc; and transmission they're using.
I'm using the buttons on a DS3 👍👍 with manual transmission

I'm on my 2nd DS3 so you must have soft hands, er..., actually, I remember. My temper got the better of me & my original DS3 had to dieX button and automatic transmission on ds3 pad. Old school driving I call it as it is the original pad still.
On the question of scoring this competition, I've slept on the idea & come up with the following:
FASTEST LAP
Each individual tester submits their times as usual with points awarded as in the OP on a fastest to slowest basis.
Those points are then added to a testers pointscore table I will maintain.
At the conclusion of testing, all points will be tallied and an overall winner declared.
DRIVER'S CHOICE
An almost identical method is used here. In the event of a tester awarding the same score for one or more tunes, for example, Shaun you scored 3 tunes as a 10. In this case those 3 tunes each receive 15 points and with yourself being the next best score on 9.8, you receive points for 4th place.
All points are tallied together at the conclusion of testing and an overall winner is declared.
Honorable mentions will go to the fastest average lap time & highest average score in Driver's Choice.
In the unlikely event of a tie occurring in either pointscore table, these honorable mentions will break the tie by scoring a bonus point.

@Pete05 can you explain bit about testing procedure, is there some minimal laps, or enough when familiar with current tune and pushing few good laps on it or just taking let's say five laps and there your time is?
And what is this testing with racing soft tires and maxed full aero like Soren Jaquet said his testing done, I believe that breaks meaning of tune on racing hards and adjusted aero for those?

Ok, that your earlier post and your lap times made me wonder. It's it possible to have one replay file of your fastest laps on those tunes?

Hi @OdeFinn
As @Soren Jacquet says, all testing needs to be conducted at Brands Hatch GP 80's, using the tunes as provided on Racing Hard tyres, in Arcade Mode Time Trial with the grip level set to Real.
As you are the tester, feel free to have as many laps as you need to familiarize yourself with the car and then conduct the test session. All that I ask is that you treat each tune the same & equally so everyone gets a fair go
👍For any further information, please refer to the Original Post in this thread.
Should you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm more than happy to help.

Can you drive and save one quick demo replay on same pace what you drove on actual tests, just for educational material?
Got it, will start today testing those.

Five cars left, till this point one car have give me really wow impression, not a perfect car, but car what felt like Formula and follows any given driving line and made pretty quick lap.
Feels like people are making TT tunes out of their cars, tunes what needs full track wide and perfect hit on corner entry.

Probably won't get any car on that pace, mostly coz track is not so familiar and ABS1 is not thing what I normal rely, so my braking is bit too careful.I wonder if we are talking about the same tune when I say I've just had a tune post a 1:23:256 on the very first flying lap!
It then proceeded to casually drop into the 1:22 bracket.
Absolutely shocked & amazed
If first getting lot of laps on there I might have better changes to rise my pace there, due this I'm gonna first go thru all tunes and then few from start again to check at lap times are valid and there is not learning of track making speed differences.
I'm not pushing maximum out of any car, just pushing pace what I can do 40 laps on row without driving out or spinning. So sorry for TT style tunes, if those aren't capable of constant lapping..
I'm giving same amount of learning and same amount of pushing on all tunes, like it time me few laps to understand @fordracer style, he wants to lift throttle fully on every corner entry, but he's not braking, he's just trying to maximise speed carrying thru corner and open throttle bit after apex, or some places throw car bit on corner and open throttle way sooner.. Was he autocross driver? This style feels a lot way like autocross is driven..
Yes I'll push few quicker laps also on every car, in limits what learning and driving on race pace is given.

I don't know about any auto cross style, I just couldn't get that car to behave in the long corners under throttle. But it seemed to carry speed well with a fast entry with little or no throttle. I like my cars to take power early and hard on exit. Guess you stumbled on how I set up this car. I just went for as fast with as little tire noise as I could get and let the testers do what they could. Good Luck.

Don't worry, it was reasonable fast after I understand your way of tune and carrying maximum speed thru corner and avoid throttle during cornering. Opening throttle had to be really careful if inside corner, but on line pointed out from there flooring could be done. Other approach was that maximum in, quickly rotating car and slamming throttle" floor, as I stated earlier throw in corner.
My tests didn't contain many red laps, few cars had tendency to try kill me.. But five left.. Are those red ones?
