I like Brands Hatch, the first corner is a wild ride at times though. When you get the rhythm it's fun.
So much history there. The clips of James an Niki disappearing behind the trees Niki in front, but James is in the lead as they come around back in view.

Fair enough mate, even your favourite track begins to boil your blood after 900 miles!
Its sort of like a narrower version of Laguna Seca- fast, good flow and a massive hill to fall down at some point

Yup, it looks good and articulate. Sorry that I made all this fuss it all began from me but I just couldn't let it pass, what's not right ain't right.
I'm quite sure many tunes in the past had many issues with trans and had been evaluated with wrong ratios unknowingly been set and were at disadvantage and it never came to light. I pray for those cars' enlightenment.lol

@DigitalBaka - We've never had this before. It looks like both brian wolf and Bobby Steel have gotten banned from GTPlanet. Not sure what we should do. Should those tunes be removed from the list? Should we test anyway? The user could come back to the site and see how his tunes did, but would have no way to join the conversation.
Would you like to discuss here or in a PM with @Bowtie-muscle ?
Edit: brian wolf has set restricted access, but only has 9 posts to date all in this thread. brain are you still around?

In my opinion, it still met the requirements, was in on time, and the tune is still here, so there would be nothing wrong with testing it.wow the world blowed up while i was gone....

There is no problem with @brian wolf , as a regular habit since Shamrock was banned, I occasionally check profiles. Especially with the tension from yesterday, his page has been set to limited access which initially gives the impression that he too has been removed. He has not nor has he caused any problems.

So giving out DC scores for the MiTos is proving to be tough for me. I know the general guidelines and also that it is a subjective measure. I guess the issue I'm running into is that after driving a tune I'll say one of three things to myself. 1) "that's a great hot lap tune", 2)"that's a great race tune" or 3) "that was so consistent, I'd want that tune for an endurance race". Ultimately I know it comes down to how I feel about each tune. I guess I just feel really good about the whole lot 
. A great "hot lap" tune and a great "race" tune are equally great, just serve different purposes.
Maybe I'm just rambling. Any seasoned testers have any thoughts or input on how you approach this sort of thing?

Don't think of the intended purpose. Think of how much you enjoy driving the tune : )

I agree with @jules283 it really comes down to how much did you like that tune. I personally take into account the type of tune it is. was it a hot lap? how did it compare to other hop lap tunes I have driven, was it a racer? how did it compare to other race tunes I have driven. Than I rate it, if it's as good as others I give a 7-8 if it's almost as good 5-6 if it's better than most anything else I've driven 9 if it's the best I've had the pleasure to drive 10.So giving out DC scores for the MiTos is proving to be tough for me.

Not exactly, we now have a second tuner that has been banned, the fact that you are posting means that you have not been. We sometimes check profile pages to see if guys have been on and if discipline has been given by the mods. Cannot look at your profile page because you limit who can access, at first glance it appears as though yoou have been banned also. Just a little confusion we had to figure out after "interesting" events yesterday.

your right i was blind.Ballast and aero are both thereno wing on the Hatch Scirocco if I read correctly.
If you finish testing before I do, can you hold off posting review until I have finished? Don't want to influence my scoring for you.
I wont finish today thats for sure. But i'll hold posting till your results are posted.Similar threads
