Nothing felt right about this car - it didn't do what I wanted it to, a lot of the time it did the opposite. Usual methods of braking in a straight line, then turn-in were not working, instead the best way to get through the corners was to brake while turning-in downshift or lift the brakes at the apex and this often made me spin-out until I got used to it. Sometimes the whole tyres locked up at the chicane, sometimes just the front tyre would lock up under braking both times so the brakes were too high front and back. It just didn't sit right with my style.
Ran it again at the end and it felt fine except for some slight understeer and a bit of oversteer at the apex of the hairpin, but other than that it felt okay. It just wasn't that fast.

This is not a tune for racing, rather for hotlapping because it's on a knife-edge at every corner I don't know if it's going to spin out or stay straight. The only way I could control the car was through throttle control alone, the brakes did as they were supposed to, but they didn't help with cornering. The fastest way with this car was just using the throttle mostly and braking at the hairpin and then the chicane and the corner before. If I had the time to master the car it would be much faster, but I was getting frustrated more than I was getting good laps. I know how to use this tune, but it was just so unpredictable and required a lot of counter-steering in some of the corners.
Ran it again and it felt a lot different. The momentum oversteer and brake release oversteer was still present but it was much more managable this time around. But still a bit too loose for my tastes.

Incredibly more responsive than the previous two tunes, it sometimes understeered slightly in places and occasionally I had to counter-steer to keep it from spinning out, but it did what I wanted it to do and as soon as I got used to it I was able to go faster. Best one so far.

A very rewarding experience with this car - you think it's slow but it's really just a fast car that is so understated that you think because it's not trying to kill you it can't be faster than the others. I was surprised - smoothness was just so easy and the laptimes kept falling, a very pleasant car to drive with no hangups at all and is definitely one of my favourites so far, but on the understeery side, which can sometimes slow it down.

A really great tune, very similar to DaBomm's tune but half a second slower, and I can't work out why because it felt a tiny bit better. A 9 DC though because sometimes the rear could step out unexpectedly and it really didn't like the grass - one tyre over and it would spin out.

The best tune for this car by a long shot, for me at least. It's not only faster, but it's so smooth and can be made to be a little bit loose with the brake release oversteer. This is how I like my cars - where DaBomm's and jtq's versions of this car were more about smoothness and with a touch of understeer this was about smoothness but with a touch of oversteer. I felt the most comfortable driving this car and the lap time proved that.

A great tune, and could be even greater if it weren't for the awful oversteer when braking. A great fast tune everywhere except the braking zones, it requires braking in a straight line and this is not the fastest way round this track.

A very stable and well-handling tune over the whole track, but top speed was lower than ACSR's tune. Braking was much better, but it lacked exit speed out of the corners and occasionally the rear would slip as well here. A very good tune, but it just lacked that something that makes a car really quick.

Very good tune, sometimes loose through the first sector and the chicane. Suffers from a bit too much brake release oversteer at times, but not as much as ACSR's tune. Faster in places than ACSR's version, but loses out over the line so I think top speed is the issue here again.

Gearing, momentum oversteer and brake release oversteer made this car suffer. But the gearing was the biggest problem.

A fantastic tune, well-rounded - it was faster through the first two sectors than ACSR's but lost it out time in the last sector because of some slight understeer in the corner before the chicane and through the chicane.

A really nice tune, but it just had a bit too much momentum oversteer for me to get comfortable with it.

A good tune minus some understeer ruined by your transmission setup.

A great tune, but it has some pretty bad brake release oversteer that ruins it most laps on the corner before the chicane.

...change it from pink and add some stripes, this car would be a blur! Might be a little premature because I still have to drive the "artists'" cars, but there are a few setups that are worthy of TotW, atleast in my opinion...
When I tested them, they drive quite well with no understeer at all ( ABS 0 ).
