All cars were given a minimum of 20 laps using a DS3 controller. With auto transmission
Please forgive me for the lack of any real help in these reviews, for a non tuner I really struggle with this part of testing and spend nearly as much time on this part of the job.
Deep Forrest still to come.

Has good turn in for the first section if you take a slow inside line, was hard to turn if I went just a little bit wide, throttle control was easy to manage and the uphill section caused no problems.

I liked this car on this track , you could apply throttle a lot earlier without worrying about sliding... it felt safe all the time,mistakes were easy to fix, a little bit more turn in would be good, after looking at the replay I noticed that I spent most of the time in the middle of the track instead of the edge.

For the most part the car handled pretty well, but you really had to be on the right approach ,it handled the first section reasonably well but is quite slippery, and the left right after the tunnel was a problem getting a consistent run through without too much sliding. The ABS 0 took a bit of getting used to and took a fair bit to lock up, the difference with ABS 1 was .432.
Deep Forrest. 1.35.465
DC. 7.75
I liked the car on this track, although it was a lot of work keeping it off the guard rails ,change of direction was good , the brakes were reasonably good... I only locked up a couple of times, lack of traction was the main problem.
@nijalninja---2.55.665 DC 7.5

Drives pretty well, a bit more turn in/ grip for the first few corners would be good,handles from the right hander before the tunnel to the finish line really well .
Deep Forrest. 1.35.576
DC. 7
Struggled with the lack of front end grip, it would continually push wide so I just couldn't get into a good rhythm , time wise there was very little between the Toyota's so it shouldn't take much too be on par with the others.

This car was at a disadvantage straight away as i don't drive many FF cars and ABS 0 gets changed to ABS 1 as soon as I get to the first corner normally.
After twenty laps I never once passed the time I did with the stock car, it took me six attempts to get around the first corner without overshooting while trying to adjust to the brakes, corner rotation was not so good ,
I know that your specs are based on real cars ... but for me I found without the ballast the car turned and felt better. 62:38 weight distribution V 58:42.
I spent a lot of laps with this car to give the no ABS a decent go but in the end it's not for me, sorry
Deep Forrest.... 1.36.758
DC. 7.5
Better suited for this track, I could hold a good line most of the time, but I had to go slow to achieve it... it just needs a better corner rotation, I didn't have any problems with the brakes here.
@ImToLegitToQuit---2.54.916 DC 8
Eiger. 1.19.779

Surprisingly quick considering the not so good traction at the front, it has good turn in and the rear comes comes around with the slightest bit of throttle lift off, ran consistent times through out. Pretty good overall .

Was easy to keep a good line, change of direction was good, good grip for medium speed corners, and I got the last corner coming on to the straight more consistently.
@krenkme --- 2.55.354 DC 7.75
Eiger. 1.19.924
DC. 7.75
Gets around the first set of corners well, but finding the right line on the way up was a hit and miss, with the right line there's just the one little lift off for the right hander after the tunnel, then it's full power to the top, get it a little wrong and there's two or three little back offs because of the way FF's pull to the outside under power.
Overall the car did every thing pretty good ...
Deep Forrest
1.35.430
DC. 7.75
Pretty good overall , but I had trouble keeping the right line consistently , medium corner grip was good as long as I had throttle control, just a bit too much and it's back to the drawing board, just a little bit more turn in or a way to get the rear around more would do it for me.
@randyrockstiff --- 2.56.337 DC 7
Eiger. 1.20.262

Really had to work hard to get the car to stop consistently,turn in for the first section was reasonably good but you have to wait for the rear to come around before accelerating so the car doesn't pull to the side,same for the uphill section.

I didn't have problems with the brakes here, it just lacks a decent rotation, I had to slow down too much to get around corners without going wide.

Feels really good this car, turns and breaks good for its weight compared to the light weights and feels more alive compared to Shaun's.
Deep Forrest
1.36.237
DC. 7.5
Didn't feel as good here, a little bit more turn in on the medium speed corners just to get the rear to come around a bit more, and I struggled to get a good run on the last left hand corner coming on to the straight , it's always been hit or miss for me that corner.
@DolHaus --- 2.54.452-- DC 8.75

Does every thing really well, you can get aggressive in the slow corners without worrying where the rear will end up, it brakes well and gets around the corners with no fuss, a really good setup .
Deep Forrest
1.35.032
DC 8.5
Gets around the track well , easy to keep the right line, has a really good change of direction that brings the rear around.
@shaunm80--- 2.55.846 -- DC 7.875
Eiger. 1.20.205
DC. 7.75
Not a lot to say about this car , it's like your old faithful ... gets the job done without any fuss, you could drive it for a long time without really having to concentrate about throttle control or anything else.
Probably needs to be driven with a manual and aggressively to get through the second corner ( the left hander) in first gear just to get the rear around a bit better, what's strange is that Xande's car will go down to first gear most times at that corner.... Overall a good setup.
Deep Forrest
1.35.641

Much better suited to this track,gets through the medium speed corners well , without pushing to the outside and was easier to get a better line through the last left hander ... Very good.
@Otaliema -- 2.54.013 --DC 8.25
Eiger. 1.19.395
DC. 8.5
Pretty much ticks all the boxes , it handled everything well without getting out of shape, well done.
Deep Forrest. 1.34.618
DC. 8
Worked pretty good on this track once I stopped trying to rush things,like you said in your tuning sheet , let it coast through the corners.
@Gino Caberlin -- 2.54.176 --DC 8.25
Eiger. 1.19.449
DC. 8
A very easy drive, really good traction , gets through the uphill section without any fuss, does everything well, just feels a little restricted to the others.
Deep Forrest. 1.34.727
DC. 8.5
Compared to the other MR2's your car seems docile but it gets the job done without constantly thinking about throttle input, like Otaliema 's let it coast through the corners , was one of the easiest cars to get the last corner consistently . Well done.
@Praiano6 --- 2.53.966 --DC 8.75
Eiger. 1.19.576
DC. 8.5
Good slow speed turn in for the first section, was able to hold a good line on the right hander before the tunnel without getting out of shape, and once you got the right amount of throttle lift off for the section after the tunnel it was a fairly easy drive.
Deep Forrest. 1.34.390
DC. 9
Very safe on this track, the rear had great grip that allowed you to get on the gas so early without loosing everything , especially the longer corners and when it did slide it wasn't excessive , my only problem was the last corner I just can't seem to get a consistent line through there, but that's me not the car . Well done
@brian wolf -- 2.56.293 --DC 7.5
Eiger. 1.20.314

A decent set up , does everything well, but the rear is just a bit too slippery to get through the right hander before the tunnel and the right left after the tunnel consistently.
Deep Forrest. 1.35.979
DC. 7.5
A bit of a strange one here,to me the car felt reasonably well, I could keep a decent driving line, it changed direction good enough and the wheel spin wasn't as bad here, but it was slow , it was the heaviest of the MR2's by 33to 63 kilo's , I tried it with less weight and it was quicker in parts but made the rear more slipperier .
@Lionheart2113 --- 2.53.794 -- DC 8.375
Eiger- 1.19.188
DC. 8.75
This was a pleasant surprise, right from the start the car felt good, the turn into the corners was good , wheel spin was manageable coming out of corners and the right hander after the tunnel was a breeze every time.
Job well done.
Deep Forrest. 1.34.606
DC 8
Really good brakes and it was quick but in the faster sections I was constantly fighting the rear, much like Ronald's the rear couldn't match the front in grip, an edge of your seat ride. Overall well done.
@Ronald6 --- 2.54.705 -- DC 7.75
Eiger. 1.19.627
DC. 7.75
I tried to be gentle but there were too many places where I lost traction, brakes and low speed turn in we're good, I had trouble with the right hander before the tunnel with lack of traction,it got through the other side of the tunnel pretty good without getting out of shape.
Deep Forrest. 1.35.078
DC. 7.75
Really good front end grip that handled most of the track well , but I had trouble from the fast left hander at the bottom of the hill leading up to the tunnel and the other two after the tunnel, the rear would let go and I couldn't get the speed and control the slide, the pit lane grabbed me twice.
Thanks to Dolhaus for putting together this quite enjoyable contest, it has definitely improved my throttle control, and to you tuners who really make the game so much more enjoyable to us non tuners who much of the time use your settings without so much as a thank you.
Sorry about all the fractions in the DC's but that how I felt a car was at the end of a session, very little between one and another, but that's what you get having to divide by 2.
