Easy to drive quickly but I found that once I'd reached a certain time bracket I just couldn't push the car any harder, I could hit the same split times over and over but just couldn't go faster no matter what I tried.

I quite liked this tune but I can't quite put my finger on why. It was very easy to chuck around and never really seemed to torque steer despite having a turbo fitted. The only real downside for me was the car just didn't seem to pull out of the corners as well as its naturally aspirated cousins.

Stable and consistent but a little bit too restrained for me. Very easy to drive for the most part, had a bit of understeer on exit and was easy to upset if you took too much curb. Good power delivery on exit with minimal wheelspin.

Unstable and erratic is the only way I can describe this car, this isn't necessarily a bad thing though! Whilst it wasn't the easiest to drive or the fastest it was a lot of fun just trying to hold on during the wild ride, you never quite knew what it was going to do next and I liked that, it gave the car a personality.

The car had an odd feeling to it, felt heavy and a bit unresponsive on entry but had really solid rotation in the mid/late parts of a corner. I think with a little less weight this car would have been faster through the tighter sections and knocked a fair bit off the time.

Very quick and has excellent rotation once into the corner but felt a little bit darty on entry and the brakes had a habit of straightening the car up when trying to trail brake. Great power delivery coming out of the corners, very little fuss from the front wheels. Good job

Felt very sharp and precise on the brakes and during entry but I just couldn't sustain the rotation and kept understeering on exit. The LSD felt pretty good, power delivery was smooth and predictable and allowed the car to stay loose through the tighter sections.

Very predictable and consistent, didn't really excel on any section of the track but wasn't particularly bad anywhere either. The car did like to light up the outside tyre on exit which lead to a bit of unnecessary understeer and the brakes were a little vague but apart from that it was a solid tune.

Decent tune, had really nice balance on entry but had a habit of lighting up the inside tyre on exit as well as running out of grip on the longer corners. I think this wasting of power on corner exit hurt the time.

Incredibly consistent and easy to drive quickly, all 10 test laps were within 0.240 of each other. This would definitely be my first choice as a race car, wasn't the quickest but was just so easy to keep pace with. My one small complaint would be that it liked to bounce over the curbs and this prevented it from following the tighter lines.

Learned a lot about FF's driving and tuning this car, made for a pleasant change.

What a wild ride! Handled somewhat like I image a car with caster wheels on the back would, never really knew what it was going to do next and I liked that about it. Gave the closest to lift-off oversteer feeling I've experienced in GT, felt like a Peugeot 205 I once had the pleasure of taking for an unplanned offroad excursion.

Great on entry but really difficult to hold that speed through the rest of the corner, the front just seemed to want to washout as soon as you went anywhere near the throttle. My guess for the cause of this would be the amount of camber present on the tune. Brakes felt strong and the power delivery was decent in preventing too much wheelspin.

The car had a really nice balance to it, responded well to inputs and held its speed through the corners. The thing letting it down for me was the LSD, the accel was a bit too low and kept giving me a one-tyre-fire out of every corner which meant that I was just loosing speed. The decel was a little high as well and kept causing the nose to push wide on entry if you went in a little fast. I think with a few small tweaks this thing could be quick.

The car felt a bit too stiff and unresponsive, it handled the faster sections well but struggled to change direction in the slower corners and kept hopping over the curbs. The brakes did their job well enough but I found that they liked to straighten the car up on entry preventing trail braking.

Felt very responsive and light, really easy to place on entry and consistent through the rest of the corner. I think the car would have responded better to a more precise driver, I kept hitting good sector times but could never put a full lap together without getting carried away and clipping a wall or braking too late for the last corner.
👍
A custom gearbox and some hard sports rubber are all that should be required to transform the car into a proper competitor...
