Thanks for the response and compliments. I asked because I'm constantly updating and adding notes to my personal tuning guide i use for myself. I just want to make sure i take note of all the feedback i get and see where i can make adjustments to alter the ride of the tune. Everything about tuning is still very complicated for me. As soon as i think i understand how something works, A different car will act completely contradicting, using the same theory.

Interesting, to be honest, most of my runs were 3-4 laps, adjust, rinse and repeat. So I did not notice this. My best lap at Grand Valley was a 1:10.6xx which you were close to and best at Tsukuba was 1:03.7xx. Maybe I should have run more laps but it was a compromise tune being for 2 tracks under different conditions. Spent most of my time with this class at Tsukuba and longest was about 5 laps, after 2 I knew (or thought I knew) if I liked the change. Something that's going to make me mental now.I just wanted to show this to everyone explaining why I think it's important to run atleast 7 or so consecutive laps when going after the best time. I don't want to open up a can of worms "warming up the tires vs. magical lap at most grip" on this thread, so I'll just keep this short and sweet.
On most cars that I found to have understeer, it seemed that the more laps I ran, the better the car got and the understeer condition started to balance itself out. The more understeer the car had, the more laps it took to come in. These tests were done on the 3rd set of 10 lap runs, so I would like to think that I had learned the car by then and it wasn't just me getting better.

This car started out with some understeer, and with every lap the car got better and better as shown by the times. Don't mind lap 5, I got distracted by the dog running into the fence whilst chasing a pigeon. (By far the funniest thing I've seen all week!

The same thing happened at Tsukuba in the wet. I thought it was pretty cool as I could feel the car getting better and better as the laps went on, and that made it more fun for me. I noticed that some cars came in by lap 3 or it took up to lap 10 before I could run its best lap. Has anyone else noticed this, I know I've been away for 2 months but I've never really noticed it before. Or am I talking out of my backside here?
Seriously tho... I was worried i`d overtuned and ruined it so i am currently over the moon!! 
I`m starting my testing for street racers this afternoon so i`ll keep in mind your consecutive laps theory. Great work! 
I`ve got me in second .068 behind praiano and bowtie .477 behind me?
I thought you were faster, now slow down@Lionheart2113 Excellent reviewing sir! 👍 The cheque`s in the post!

, early though.
Early days indeed!I thought you were faster, now slow down
I only mentioned it in case @Otaliema has more spreadsheet issues!!
I'll double check the sheet when I get some time maybe there is a problem with one of the formula rows.I`ve got me in second .068 behind praiano and bowtie .477 behind me?
Those are some pretty respectable times....makes me wish I got back earlier to put in a tune....hours and hours of tuning would have helped me get better times for everyone.
Thats some interesting food for thought. I too definitely see my lap times drop with the more time spent driving. I have always thought it was me adapting to the car trying to put down the fastest lap. You could be right that the tires get broken in after a few laps.I just wanted to show this to everyone explaining why I think it's important to run atleast 7 or so consecutive laps when going after the best time.

I can become a tester....
This is where you test all the posted tunes for each class and then to post your tune review with best lap times/Drivers choice score Like this post in this link.
If you wish to test then be sure to have the cars built exactly as posted, give them an equal amount of testing time (e.g 5-10 laps) and then post the fastest lap time each car produced along with a 1-10 score of how much you liked the car. A little bit of feedback saying what you liked/disliked about each car would be nice as well but is not mandatory.
Maybe not as wordy though!
As most of the regular FITT members know, I tend to ramble on when describing tunes (I can sense a lot of head nodding; as they agree with me 
)
I have no problem with the way you describe your take on the tunes you test. It helps me improve my technique and the way that I look at a car when tuning.Maybe not as wordy though!
All in great fun though!👍
I agree with @shaunm80Maybe not as wordy though!
All in great fun though!👍
ありがとうございました！Thank you, we will raise our ride height and try to develop a better damper. thank you for you time LION
