FITT Shootouts Brands Hatch
All cars tested with DS3 controller and auto and twenty laps each, I am not a tuner so the reviews don't go into too much depth and are just my thoughts of the cars and my driving experience.

A very easy drive, good traction , just power on and go,very hard to loose the rear, just a little more turn in for the first and last corners would make all the difference.

A really good drive, has good turn in through the corners, well planted and stable throughout the track and consistent, well done.

Overall I liked the car but I just couldn't get consistent laps , there's another half second plus if I could string it all together, the rear is quite slippery but it's a big improvement on the stock car.

Safe, stable and so much grip , even when driving on the edge you know that the rear is not going to come around.

An enjoyable drive , good controllable grip , a little bit more rotation would make all the difference.

The first four laps were 'what have I got myself into ' it really took a lot of concentration to drive without the rear coming around , all actions had to be perfect to drive at a decent pace,after twenty laps I'd sorta worked it out but definitely not my sort of driving style , so I moved the ballast to -16 to give a 42:58 front/rear distribution and for me it made all the difference, I dropped half a second within three laps.

It took me around eight laps to work out the braking characteristics of the car which are unlike anything I've driven before, and even then the last corner was a hit and miss most times , in a straight line they are great but any braking while turning causes the rear to slide, getting the corner entry right was the hardest part for me , corner turn in was good and there was plenty of traction for corner exit, for me,reducing the harshness of the brakes would make a more enjoyable drive.

Good brakes, good turn in, good grip throughout , the only problems I've had is getting the braking for the last corner right, it's not the tune it's me having to adjust my braking style to suit this particular car.
Overall a very good tune.

On the money from the very first lap, no learning the cars characteristics, no nasty surprises just consistent laps one after another , a pleasure to drive... well done.

Good all round tune, in a straight line the brakes had a really good feel to them ,although getting the right pressure for turn three and the last corner without upsetting the rear was my biggest problem, corner rotation and traction on exit were good as well , overall an easy car to drive that's forgiving if you make a mistake.

Pretty good overall ,quite quick for its 450 pp only,has good turn in through the corners, the brakes do their job well enough, on the negative it doesn't get into top gear and the car tends to slide into some corners.

Does everything well, good entry while braking the car stays on its line unlike a few of the other Elise's, could do with a bit more turn in, a very safe car .
