RUF Supersport Class Testing
All tunes were given 10 laps of testing under FITT conditions. Usual controls for me, DS3 controller, X button, AT Transmission. A great selection of tunes to drive and I had a lot of fun testing these German beasts. Anyway, here are the reviews. Enjoy.

Best Lap Time – 2.03.580
DC – 9.4
Tune Impressions – Loose but grippy rear, good front-end rotation. Need to watch throttle application when exiting slow corners but easy to correct minor slides without losing too much time. Good brakes and a consistent level of grip. Driven sensibly, this tune is consistent each and every lap.

Tune Impressions – Front rotation is virtually perfect, LSD is very good, front grip is excellent and really bites into the corners and the brakes are very good indeed. A few issues for me, The rear is slightly over tuned, it has too much rear grip and is not loose enough for me, when I put the power down, the rears bite too much meaning I had to come off the power to straighten the car up at times. This only happens on slower corner exits but it did make this tune a little inconsistent. If you could loosen the rear a little and compromise on the level of grip you currently have, this tune would have been faster and more fun for me to drive.

Tune impressions – A stable and well-balanced tune. Dare I say it, a little too much grip on the rear tyres, and not loose enough for me personally, but when I was able to get back on the power, the extra grip this tune provides really helps the acceleration out of the corners. Transmission and front end rotation worked well and a nice car all around to drive. Made this RR beast very easy to drive and extremely safe and enjoyable. A great tune for many to enjoy. Awesome job.

Tune Impressions – Awesome tune, driver intuitive, loads of grip with the right amount of rear slide for the slow corners. Corner exit grip was spot on and the lack of wheel spin made car joyous to drive. Not a single complaint from me regarding your tune. Fantastic work.

Best Lap Time – 2.03.833
DC – 7.8
Tune Impressions – I will start with the good stuff, It can be fast, really fast! The transmission design was odd to me but it worked very well and had good acceleration. Turn in rotation was good but it felt a little stiff at times, combined with the mid corner slide it was manageable, however, the rear of this car was too loose for me and resulted in a lot of over steer moments. Even on quick back straight (with the right kink in it) it was oversteering and I had to adjust my driving style to suit the tune. Not enough rear grip to inspire full confidence in me for this car but I can see that in the right hands, this car can be devastatingly quick and a lot of fun to drive. A tad more rear grip and I would have enjoyed this tune a lot more.

DC – 9.9
Tune Impressions – Great rotation, great balance, wheel spin has been controlled nicely and the rear is loose enough for me to slide around bends without losing too much time and in safe, controlled manner. Great brakes and transmission design. Most importantly, this is a consistent tune that would be awesome in any A Spec race. Great work with this one. Well done.

Tune Impressions – Great rotation, good levels of grip allowing a variety of driving lines, excellent transmission, LSD settings are near-perfect, as was the balance of the car. However, One niggle I had was some twitchiness when powering out of corners that cost me some lap time. I saw a 2.02 on the books but it didn’t quite happen unfortunately. A near-perfect tune but the twitchiness can make it a little inconsistent at times. That being said, the most important thing about this car is that I really enjoyed driving it and I also managed to roll it over and land on its feet. Great job with this one!
