Roadster Class Review
All tunes tested with DS3, manual trans, triggers for gas/brake, left stick steer. ABS 1, all others off, grip set to real in Arcade mode. All tunes were given between 12-15 laps and for the most part I felt I got the most out of every tune. My times me differ from your own, so if they are not as low I apologize but chances are yours would not be the only tune lower.
@DolHaus and @praiano63 gave really good reviews breaking down entry-mid corner-exit so I will just give my impressions and not too much details on handling.
@787bcgr :
Time - 51.727
DC - 7.5
Not the first tune I tested but the one that received the most laps and effort, precise inputs were required and it took quite a few laps to get into a groove and not sure I got it all. Found the extra rear weight causing the car to be more demanding and less forgiving but rewarding if you could keep it straight. The problem was keeping it straight, another 10 laps and I could have been better but I had already given more than the others.

Obviously I like my own tune and know the line to take to make it fast, just not as good a ride as the Elise's. Takes the right line to be fast, but is capable of keeping up with the Lotus, but it did need the 10 extra pp to do it.
@DaBomm4 :
Time - 51.919

A spunky little tune that was a ton of fun for me, the last turn did this tune in though as it was chasing Legit's ghost. It would be with or better up to turn 3 then slightly behind, struggled to get off the final turn and watched the ghost pull away. If I could have gotten back on throttle just a tick sooner.......
Nice tune, great job.👍
@DolHaus :
Time - 51.490

Good tune that I struggled with on turn 3 and the final turn (as with almost all the Elise's) but when I got them both right the time really dropped. Found aggressive throttle could cause some (manageable) oversteer otherwise no problems.

I LOVED THIS TUNE
, I built an MG but was not able to get nearly as quick as this one though they did feel very similar. Yours had much better exit and was sooo easy to get comfortable with, it fit my driving style and line like a glove. Once a got the last turn right with the correct line it was a pure joy, just not quite as fast as the Locusts........I mean Lotus'. Awesome Job!

For a last minute tune, it was really good. Glad to see it came together quick for you, the final turn was the only place I had issues but don't they all struggle with that tricky turn? Some felt slow to accelerate out but yours seemed to be one of the few that could get down the straight better once I got it point where I wanted.

My second best lap was 51.588, so 2 really close laps meant I found out how to drive it. The problem was it did take some time to adjust to the soft suspension and extra rear weight. I am just not a good enough driver to get the time this tune is capable of, quick when right but hard to keep the rear in check for me.

Easy to learn, easy to go fast. Best exit from the final turn and the best through turn 3, turn 2 however could have a hint of understeer if I missed my entry (which was hard to do as the tune was that good). Most of my laps all only 2-3 tenths apart. Excellent Job!

The handling of this tune took me by surprise, not bad at all but I did struggle with it wanting to over rotate and never felt like I got a really good lap. Just did not get along with it as well as other tunes of yours I have driven.

Awesome fun tune that pretty much could do what I wanted when I wanted. Except accelerate out of the final turn, just seemed sooo under powered compared to the others. Had to really search for the best line keeping up the most speed to get a fast lap.

Easy driving tune that was very easy to get back on throttle, needed just a bit more rotation but the hard to complain with the time I got. This tune really fit my driving style and I was not searching for any speed. Great job.👍

Great tune if you hit your marks, would oversteer if pushed too aggressive with the throttle and understeer if you pushed it too deep into the corner. Would also understeer off throttle if you missed your entry on turn 2. I had 3 laps of 51.1xx and another 3 within 1 or 2 tenths, very consistent tune.

Thank you, I have made the car too sensitive in general ( stiff springs and ARB ), this will be valuable when I will fine tune the car again
