I have been testing a few 600pp cars on the reverse layout and I didn't find it too difficult to learn, there are a few spots to get use to with each tune but not terrible. I did have an issue with the knoll on the start/finish straight and later braking with reverse, slight airtime and all. This is my first time on this track since I have not played GT4 by the way.
It involves a lot of screaming and profanity also. 
The problem with averages of any description is collecting and processing the data, its not overly difficult to do but it does require extra time and effort on the part of the testers. If you're only testing 5 or 6 cars then its bearable but if you've got to grind your way through 15 entries then it gets a bit tiresome.I actually have never seriously lapped Midfield reverse, I have an OCD thing with driving tracks backwards, that dates back to an old NFS game with reverse and mirroring.
@Ronald6 - See DaBomm's post, not all of us played GT2-4.
@Lionheart2113 - More than 1-3 cars.
What about taking an "average" best lap?
Each tester records their 5(or 3) best laps for each car during testing and submits all 5(or 3), and an average best lap is made?
We could even jot down the best 5, remove the best and worst, and average the middle 3...?
Either of these seems easier than trying to string together multiple laps in a row, while still delivering a more precise result.
I'm just thinking out loud, please give feedback.

Whats the price on those?Sorry little K, I'm a bit far in it to start a lower PP class, although the lack of weight reductions and idiosyncro gearing means the cars stay relatively easy to drive.
So, cost is a factor I guess for some.
Yay or Nay - Ferrari GTO?
Expensive but fun.
The Aston One-77 is also in. Everything else is "cheap".
An idea I have been bouncing is to use the new club feature and set up a Practice/Race with a two person limit(min allowed) and just tell everyone the name of the club so they can search it and join. Have a 5 lap race that way the game gives the total time for laps to be completed. This would reward very consistent tunes and hit lap tunes would be left in the cold so to say.
Not everyone remembers the track from the PSX days or like me spent our time on trial mountain rather then Mid-field.
Hmm good pointGo take a 600PP F40 through there, come back and we'll talk about tuning it.
Clueless Rule,
that would be a little hard. MR cars are not my strong point in GT6. Could tune them fats and stable in 5 but can't seem to stabilize them in 6.
well finally got to taking a F40 with 600 HP in it though mid field. decently quick. I got it tamed enough to take front straight crest at 205 km/h avg with no issues unless I was trying to correct a wide drift line still working out the chicane into tunnel 2 that's the bugger. So it is doable to have a MR that can take Mid field constantly with no surprises.Go take a 600PP F40 through there, come back and we'll talk about tuning it.
Clueless Rule,
The GTO is a very solid car. Reverse is harder than forward to maintain control over that bump. have to hit the brakes ditch a bunch of speed hit the bump, land and turn and not spin. It's the only place on the track is like that on reverse it's the worst spot for it too.
It's going to depend on if you go for the consistency lap time or do the normal hot lap rule. Consistency will get a different car than a hot lap challenge.
