Exactly, that final left hander is such an easy place to lose the car and always results in a penalty. You have to commit to it otherwise you lose a pile of time but if you touch either curb then you are going end up facing backwards
I've done that on past challenges I know the lap was clean watch the reply on 3rd person/chase cam to make sure I didn't cut on accident.@Bowtie-muscle - Quick testing question
Imagine the scenario:
Running wide or spinning on the last corner complex
Incurring "Next Lap Invalidated" penalty (no advantage gained in recovering from previous spin)
Set best lap on next Red lap (clean lap, no corner cutting that would result in new penalty)
Can we count that new best lap?
None see above.

@Dagger311(I know you said you were not going to have time to tune but just thought I would give you more time if it helps!)
Gentlemen, all tunes are do tonight by midnight here EST, however, with the changes to the rules there is a 48 hour extension available if you need it. Please just let me know if you will be posting before midnight Tuesday.
**This ONLY applies to the Roadster Class, Street is not due until NEXT Sunday at midnight.**
Could everyone who has already posted their tunes just please check and make sure the links are working correctly as my mouse is having quite the attitude and double or triple clicking everytime I use it.
Thank you, Bowtie
Unfortunately it doesn't, there's just too many things I have to do. Maybe next month!
It´s a nice car , i´m 90% satisfied with it. It drive very well and i think it have some chance because easy to drive too but this time without anestesics.

No problem, but the extension is there if you need it so do not feel pressured. Enough entries for testing to begin.
I was surprised by the number of times I ran over either/both of those curbs and didn't loose the cars completely, they were typically saveable. This was near the final tunes' setups that I could do this though.Exactly, that final left hander is such an easy place to lose the car and always results in a penalty. You have to commit to it otherwise you lose a pile of time but if you touch either curb then you are going end up facing backwards
On actual testing I would stay far enough away within reason to keep it fair though.
Only 2 MG and 2 Vauxhall so far, that will make both marque a one on one battle 
Two VX220s to go head to head
Got 51.8s on 2nd lap 
with a slow 20.1s 1st sector, with 19s 1st sector and better exit on last corner, it would be in the mid 51s, not bad for 450PP and technically stock ratios 
I have debated not entering this car because I found a huge number of flaws with the car I was going to post. it had the oil changed and therefore didn't need a turbo to hit 460. I remembered that about an hour ago so I had to start fresh and having a turbo ruined the suspension and LSD setting I had so this car has had only about 30 minutes tuning and driving time. I didn't want to pull out last minute though giggity so here is my MG.

Notes :
This replica is based on a Courtenay Sport customer car, originally VX220 NA car modified with Z20LET engine transplant and Z20LEH K04 Turbo from Astra VXR offering better performance and reliability. The 450PP is limited in power to fit in the regulation FITT British Invasion Tuning Challenge.
The weight of the car is 875kg ( curb weight of NA VX220 ) with 45/55 weight distribution of NA car. Suspension has been upgraded with NITRON NTR Race Coilover 3 Way with ERS Springs at 500/550. The stiff springs and ratio are chosen based on well proven formula for track racer VX220 with sticky semi slick tires. The front springs are harder than usual this time, offering sharper steering with damper & ARB all around setup for balanced handling. Ride height has been lowered by about 2 inch from stock height, while the alignment is based on street / mild track duty range of values, and I used less rear toe in to give more play when at the track.
Transmission uses Turbo VX220 Getrag 5 Speed ratios and final. This offers much better spread for the added power and torque, giving nice pull without inherent wheelspin drama. Courtenay Sport also offer performance/track oriented Final Drive at 4.170, giving much quicker acceleration from 1st to 3rd gear at a cost of lower top speed.
LSD is based on OS Giken with custom job, torque preload set at 25% with 2 way setup, also 25% lock. This will give nice balance against suspension setup, while still giving good traction even on lower gear exit. Simply hammer the throttle when in doubt and let the rear kick a bit then the LSD will do it's job, just make sure to hold that steering wheel like a man.
The VX220 was tuned and tested at Brands Hatch Indy, Willow Springs, Tsukuba, Autumn Ring and Red Bull Ring. At Brands Hatch Indy, it managed 52.1s with ease on SH tire. Another run managed 51.8s on 2nd lap, with slower 20.1s 1st sector and slightly lower last turn at 58mph as I overloaded left front tires for a moment. I have provided both replay of the run for reference. A good run would yield 19s 1st sector - reaching 100mph at the top of the hill before braking for the right hairpin
EDIT : Fixed the max speed, incorrect value, was 300kmh, supposed to be 290kmh
Added additional notes for the 51s run and uploaded the replay
so true, racing brakes and a clcik up helps the TVR greatly and the Espirit is just fun, with my course tunes they are with in 4 tenths of each other and I can chaulk that up to line on the track.[QUO
They're both difficult in their own ways
