FITT: "British Invasion" partial results
Roadster Class
Lotus Elise Type 72 '01
Sinof1337 TIME=51.048 DC:7.5
Corner entry:
Stay perfectly inline under any braking power or driving input. Too safe in my opinion , the possibility to induce some smooth controlled oversteer could be good to nail or correct an ideal perfect line .
Mid corner:
Showing a light understeer when releasing the brakes, still this steady driving line that throttle or driving inputs can´t correct . The driver is too passive in my opinion.
Out corner:
Good LSD settings, allowing to be early on power, no surprise and safe fast line out.Perhaps more power limiter would give more torque and more retake.
Overall :
The car is very safe and fast, the 50/50 weight distribution kill the MR behaviors a bit. Perfect car for a beginner but a medium to good driver would like more reactions at least under strong driving inputs. Good job.
Motor City Hami TIME=50.945 DC:8.5
Corner entry:
The direction feel very light at the wheel and answer very well to any driving input . You need all this precision when used together with the very efficient brakes.Too much wheel angle will induce oversteer , still easy to control but it will slow you down. It´s a real joy trying to stay on this safe fast line.
Mid corner:
Good eagerness, answer well to throttle and wheel. Good precision.
Out corner:
LSD work very well and you can accelerate early. The retake is good but a bit lazy to take speed on the short straight.
Overall :
The car is very alive, the direction precision is a pure joy to place the car, you can correct your driving line at any moment playing with all the inputs. It´s a very good car, must be even better on a high speed track. Congrats.
Otaliema TIME= 50.663 DC: 8.0
Corner entry:
Very sharp under brake, the wheel input must be very open, been ready to anticipate a countersteer if a bit to late on brakes. When you nail the braking point and driving input together with the good dose of braking power…. It´s magic. If you don´t match all the 3 , or you spin or at least loose time.
Mid corner:
Perfect line a very good eagerness pushing out the corner. Good sensitivity , answer very well to any inputs.
Out corner:
Very good , perhaps a higher LSD accel would help to carve a bit more. There is still a little room here.
Overall :
The weight repartition 39/50 let the car very wild and fast. The low dampers extension settings also let the mass been transferred very quickly. All this result in a very sharp car that can be very fast in the hands of an Alien driver.
Not easy for a beginner or even a good driver. Personally I ´ve just finish 50% of my fast laps. The rest of the time the weight pass over the tires grip and my car loose speed or spin. Good car for time attack , not for longer race. (Only for very good drivers in this case)
Xande1959 TIME= 50.909 DC: 8.0
Corner entry:
Perfectly safe, good brake balance helped with a sane suspension. Good line easy to reach .
Mid corner:
Don´t react so much to throttle but the precise direction do a perfect job staying on the ideal line.
Out corner:
Also easy out , helped by a safe LSD accel value. The car seat well on his rear grip.
Overall :
Very fast safe car, good for a long race , very difficult to make a mistake in any condition. Good tune congrats.
Shaunm80 TIME= 51.206 DC:7.5
Corner entry:
The car enter very well in the turn under brakes mainly because of hi brake balance. 6/7. When you release the brakes it´s showing a few understeer that you can correct easily with the direction. Just need to nail the good braking point to reach the mid corner under brake and it´s fine
Mid corner:
Very neutral suspension, the throttle control helped by the 1/4 ARB help a few to reach the apex on a good line.
Out corner:
Good LSD accel setting , can induce a predictable oversteer if you put too much wheel angle. Just the way it must be in my opinion.
Overall :
The 50/50 weight repartition take out the MR cars behaviors , it´s a bit too much and don´t fit my driving style. But , it´s still very fast and easy to drive and a lot of people will like this car for sure for online racing. Congrats.
DolHaus TIME= 50.854 DC: 9.0
Corner entry:
Look a lot with the Otaliema car, very MR, a bit less radical. Brakes and direction must be played perfectly together , it´s still easy and very fast . I´ve just needed a few laps to feel the way it must be driven.
Mid corner:
Very soft, you can correct your line strongly with the wheel, no problems, the car stay steady on his grip.
Out corner:
Early on the power, very fast out stay perfect on the driving line.
Overall :
Perfect car, I just think that 100% power limiter on this track together with the 5 speed trans and his relatively spaced gears make the car slow on the last corner retake in 3rd gear. This is the only point where my own car ghost go away 0.400 till the finish line. Excelent tune, congrats.
787bcgr TIME= 51.845 DC:7.00
Corner entry:
Extremelly sharp car, brake and driving inputs must be millimetrics. Any mistake is a punishment. Very easy to loose the rear in this situation
Mid corner:
Still the same sensation, impossible for me to go close to the grip limit, everything must be very smooth , if not here come the punishment.
Out corner:
The car is OK again, just as any other normal safe MR car, the high LSD accel setting need some throttle attention but the car go out corner on a very fast safe line.
Overall :
I had the same sensation when I test some seasonal Aliens tunes. So much rotation and a car so free above his dampers that it´s almost impossible for me to explore 100% of the car. I think i´m around 80% .
Sorry but my skills don´t allow me to test this car the right way. I can´t say it´s bad or good, .i just can´t control it.
praiano63 TIME= 50.432 DC:8.5
No comments , up to the others testers. Of course I love my car but it´s not perfect for this track. I think i´ve nailed the right power weight ratio here. Just a good all around car (Tested on the ring and de la sierra where it´s very nice too)
