@mgo @Bowtie-muscle I have a request this is not for podium shift or anything. But Mgo could you rerun tune #2 in The Dual class your difference on the lap time is over 2 seconds from the next time in that tune and your 4 seconds off pace from your fastest lap, if you don't have time or don't get a differing result no worries it's just for consistency.

@demonchilde you've been quiet my friend, any progress on your testing? Not that I am pushing but more that I am just curious. @macdog54 is close to being finished the last I heard, we had a little trans issue to settle but got worked out. No pressure boys, but the podiums may be decided by your reviews. 
Still have 6 days though.

Need any more testers on the Duel class? I might have some time to kill this week.. Cars are all built up and raring to go.

Yeah I understand the motivation, its just that we can't rerun single results unless there are suspected outside elements involved (tune built wrong/intentional foul play etc.) 👍
Unless @Bowtie-muscle has received a request from the tuner themselves to retest then it can't be authorised on the grounds of not fitting the trend, some folks are bound to get different results with different cars and the times must reflect this

yeah, I am about 1/2 way done.
My 4 days off didn't turn out the way I planned. Income tax return came in Wednesday, so we spent the last 4 days shopping for home project needs. Followed by coming home and actually doing the projects...

You mean you bought a bunch of power tools and spent the last 4 days re-enacting the Transformers movies

Ya know for all the razzing we give @TurnLeft that old man is pretty observant. 
He noticed something off on the lap times and let me know.
The short story I moved around one of the test drivers in the display section of sheet which caused the back end that does all the math to double list a set of times. I have corrected the problem and thus corrected the times. The ranking didn't change the lap times went down, it was the GT300 time attack group.

Attention testers after correction of several errors in the sheet I'd like to request you give your times a once over make sure I didn't change or have one or more your times wrong. I am aware of the incorrect time entry in the GT3000 for one of the tuners under @Bowtie-muscle, I have not seen any others but more sets of eyes to check is a good thing.

Here are the results of my testing, 10 to 15 laps per car, DS3 controler using left and right sticks .
This was a hard contest to score as all the tunes are very good and a credit to you tuners.
Tune 1. # DC. 8.7
Mazda RX8.. 1.10.018
The car feels quite stable and well planted, corner entry and rotation is good with a little coasting to get through the corner, good grip on exit and the gearbox spot on.
Tune 2. # DC 8
Honda S2000...1.11.092
The car drives and feels good but I had a hard time getting consistent laps, most were in the twelves, it could do with a bit more rotation, corner exit was good with plenty of traction .
Tune 3. # DC 8.5
Mazda RX8...1.10.862
Another good drive, does everything well, it's forgiving of small errors, has good rotation and grip.
Tune 4.# DC 8.5
Mazda RX8. 1.10.770
What can I say, another car that does all that is asked of it, safe, stable and great traction, full throttle could be used in most places without wheel spin, good work.
Tune 5 # DC 8.2
Honda S2000. 1.11.679
I felt pretty comfortable from the start with this one, it gets around the first sweeping left lot easier than the first four cars and does everything right but it's just not as quick as it feels.
Tune 6.# DC 8.5
Mazda RX 8. 1.11.300
The car felt well planted, corner rotation is good , traction was good, I lost most time from the corner after the tunnel to the last corner, I would loose half a second on that section in a drag race.
Tune 7.# DC 8.7
Mazda RX8. 1.10.927
Another good ride, feels stable, traction is great , it took a while to get the first corner entry speed right but when I did it just coasted that corner perfectly and then I had to stop myself looking for that little bit extra, good work.
Tune 8.# DC 8.5
Honda S2000. 1.11.843
Has good turn in for the right hander after the tunnel, probably the best so far at navigating that corner, good brakes and it looses just a bit with the traction not being as good as the Mazda's
Tune 9.# DC. 8.7
Mazda RX8. 1.11.108
I use auto so I couldn't do much about using the lower gears but they never caused a problem, traction was pretty good, corner rotation is good, I think that extra bit of weight in the back helps , it seems to turn just a little better than the others I've tested.
Good work.
Tune 10 # DC 8.5
Mazda RX8. 1.10.847
Quite a different drive to the others, the rear comes around quite easily witch helps getting around the right hander after the tunnel but I can't get on the throttle fully without loosing traction, no problem with the faster corners.
Tune 11#. DC 8.5
Honda S2000. 1.11.932
Took a while to get used to this one, it handles well, traction is good , can get on the gas early for good corner exit

The Duel is at Grand Valley East Reverse layout, and the GT300 Time Attack is at Tsukuba. Glad to have another tester come and join us. 👍
