@xande1959, how about you testing the GT-300 👍, I know how difficult it is for you to do the review with the translation.
Just lap time + DC score. I'd like to see how you would do with my car
. We could use another great driver 👍.
My best lap was 55.347 , can you beat that?

I don't think you can have too much to that fruit sir.my friends good carnival for y'all return in 5 days lol
- I hope not to have a much intoxication various fruits
Na omnivore sir. That's a balance diet I think.
If he did it would unofficial as he tuned for the group. I might test them just for fun. Can't promise anything tho trying to buy a house.@xande1959, how about you testing the GT-300 👍, I know how difficult it is for you to do the review with the translation.

GT300 Reviews
-Track settings Grip set to real ABS 1, all other aids off.
-All tunes were tested at Tsukuba.
-All tunes were tested until I felt I had got all I could out of them.
-All tunes tested with DFGT and manual transmission.
-All tunes tested as posted.
Tuner #1
Time: 55.191
DC Score: 9
Review: A tune with a great balance between aero and mechanical grip. And geared very nicely.
Just had the slightest understeer in the last corner which cost a little time. Well done.
Tuner #2
Time: 55.279
DC Score: 8.5
Review: I had to avoid the kerbstones at apex with this one, else it would unsettle the inside
wheel. This meant I had to take a slightly wider line, which meant it felt a little short geared.
Only minor issues tho, Well done.
Tuner #3
Time: 55.294
DC Score: 8
Review: Very easy to drive consistantly, just a slight push on exit meant entry had to be precise
to get the fastest times. Not as much room for error as other tunes here. Also, I felt 5th and
6th gear could have been shorter. Solid stuff tho, well done.
Tuner #4
Time: 55.441
DC Score: 8
Review: A very chuckable tune, that inspired confidence in the driver. Closer gearing would have
resulted in a better time. Well done.
Tuner #5
Time: 54.999
DC Score: 9.5
Review: Just sneaked this one into the 54`s. Almost perfect, just the slightest push in the last
corner, else it would have got the perfect 10. Top tuning. Well done.
Tuner #6
Time: 55.288
DC Score: 8
Review: This one had the best aero/mechanical grip balance at speed and just flew through the
last corner, sharp turn in and held the line superbly. But lost the time again with a slight push
on entry to turn 1. Also, I seemed to be changing gear a lot. Never sure if I needed 2nd or 3rd
in the slow corners. Nothing major though, well done.
Tuner #7
Time: 55.600
DC Score: 7.5
Review: This for me was a pure TT tune. Sharp brakes and a tendency to oversteer on corner exit
will make for a fast tune if you have the skillset to drive it at 100%. I just couldn`t nail that
perfect lap. Fast, but for me, inconsistant. Well done.

You know how the saying goes... "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!" Im going to have to start living by some of those old wise sayings. I would love to go to Rio during the carnival; the music, people, food, and atmosphere must be amazing. It's on my bucket list, and @xande1959 you'll have to pick me up from the airport my friend.my friends good carnival for y'all return in 5 days lol

Having not driven Grand Valley East Reverse very often I thought I should probably take my S2000 for a few laps so that I could familiarise myself with the track layout....
(Please leave adequate sets of spare tyres when handing over your car)
All I can say is
That's fantastic drifting 👍 and save some tires for the rest of us OK

@mgo and @TurnLeft , you gentlemen may be rookies but have shown yourselves to be quite competitive. 👍
mgo says his tune is the worst, well, what I see in the times is that there is no worst tune, only a slowest. But there has to be someone at the bottom, so if less than 1 second separates all the tunes, I say that you all did a great job in this class.
@demonchilde and @nijalninja , not really rookies but still relatively new to FITT, you two have also done really well also.
I applaud all of you and hope you will all continue in future challenges. Well done boys.

Which group sir? I'll get you added to the list when I load up @brian wolf times tonight. GT300 has fewer cars and is a shorter track so is faster, but if you want a real variety of tunes The Dual class is the one you want. As you didn't do a tune you can test both groups if you want too.
Na he'll feel better after jumping @DolHaus car maybe....the brown pants factors are high in his carsDepends, you still have a couple of kegs? You'll need it after driving mine
Edit; man double tree'd lol

Just! My best is 54.925 with a few left to go. Close to Mr. P's times, not quite though, but he is half alien!You always are!
I am happy to be in the same ball park though...these tunes/times are very close. Even with the variety of setups, I'm impressed.You guys are quick! I'm nowhere near the 54's.
Here are my results for the GT300 class. Very close class again.
All tunes tested for 10 laps using DS3(x go, square stop and d-pad change direction), using auto transmission. All aids off except ABS1 and driving line.
Listed as per tuner post.
Tuner 1
Time - 0:55:915
DC - 8
Nice tune. Stable under braking, good through corners and easy to get the power down. Last corner in 6th felt a bit weird and probably cost a bit of time.
Tuner 2
Time - 0:55:938
DC - 7
Throttle control required on corner exit as the rear likes to come round on you. Good tune otherwise.
Tuner 3
Time - 0:55:867
DC - 7
Good tune but felt a little unstable. Constant input required. Some oversteer in the slower corners.
Tuner 4
Time - 0:55:784
DC - 9
Good solid tune. Great through the last bend. Good turn in and rotation.
Tuner 5
Time - 0:55:587
DC - 10
Good quick car. Feels light and nimble with good turn in and rotation. Easy to get the power down early. Good effort, bravo sir.
Tuner 6
Time - 0:55:785
DC - 7
Decent time but struggled a little with turn in. Suffered some understeer.
Tuner 7
Time - 0:56:217
DC - 6
Struggled with oversteer on this one. Good under braking but because of the oversteer couldn't get the power down sufficiently early to set a decent time. Was very frustrated at my lack of throttle control with the pad, but having read the other reviews, looks like it wasn't just me.

Great to see you had fun with my car and that it did so well with digital driving.
