Alrighty here's my reviews. Done over 10 laps each at Trial Mountain Reverse. Grip set to real. All aides off except TCS 1. Done on a DFGT controller.

Tune Comments - Well after driving all the other tunes I came back to mine. I could certainly feel the extra weight in it, which caused more understeer than I had realized. It's a very planted car and the rear end stays in place at almost all times. I could've spent a bit more time on the tranny and the brakes could've been a bit stronger. Definitely a "middle of the road" type of tune.

Tune Comments - This tune was just ok. I wanted to get along with it, but it became a chore to drive it. At first I couldn't keep the back end behind me. It was like a lost puppy, it followed me everywhere I went. Once I learned to control the rear end, some nasty mid corner understeer sent me wide on more than a few turns. I liked it's corner entry abilities. The brakes worked well, but the trans had me trying all different approaches to corners, as I couldn't decide which gear I needed to be in. I can see how this tune would work well for you, as I've been chasing your line around the last few TT's, trying tk figure out how you're so much faster! Good effort, just not my cup of tea...

Tune Comments - BRAVO!! I just can't believe how amazing this tune is! If I could've held one lap together over the bump in the tunnel, a 1:29 was well within reach. I really have no critiques nor did I find a single flaw. This tune gave me so much confidence. Not to mention when I did mess up and initiated a drift, I could control it and ride it out. Congrats on what will certainly be a podium finisher, if not win the whole class!

Tune Comments - This tune could be fast, when I could tame it's instability... It seemed like any little bump in the track surface really caused a violent reaction! Understeer was non exsistent, but oversteer was a constant. It took all my concentration to control. If I even thought about turning while the brakes were being applied, it would instantly start to oversteer and I'd lose my line. This car did not respond well to being off line either... The transmission was stupendous though! Once I trusted the length of third gear, so I didn't have to downshift out of it, the car became a little easier to drive. This tune just felt as though I was balancing on knife's edge the whole time. I hope one day to be able to drive a tune like this to it's full potential, but alas, I'm not not there yet... Great "hot lap" tune, nonetheless!

Tune Comments - Stable! A little too stable at times, as I was battling understeer alll over the track. It could've used a bit more looseness to increase it's turn in ability, but I did loove that I could more or less mash the throttle anywhere on the track. The brakes were a little weak. I had to brake much earlier than I had anticipated and kept forgetting, causing me to run into a few corners too hot. The trans was different, but once I took your notes to heart and started shifting at 6300rpm it was fine. Great effort, even if it didn't match my style well...

Tune Comments - I had a tough time with this tune at the beginning. The front end felt like it was on ice. The outside front tire was glowing red in most corners. Understeer was prevalent in all phese of cornering. After I learned to slow down for the corners, which was not an easy task as the brakes felt kind of weak, I was able to find a sort of rhythm. The trans was excellent, no complaints there. Really just an adjustment to the front end gripand I think this tune could've been a full second faster in my hands! Good overall effort!

Tune Comments - So yeah after a few a few laps this tune and I just clicked. Once I figured out it liked to be thrown around, I had an absolute blast driving it! I was amazed by it's turn in, and as long I showed a little restraint in throttle usage, the back end stayed right where it's supposed to! The trans was perfect and th brakes gave me confidence to dive right into corners! BRAVO Shaun! Great Work!!

If I only had one word to describe this car it would be, unforgiving! I just don't have the chops to drive a car tuned like this. Bumps threw the car so out of whack I had to slow down. And any time I started to lose control, it would be gone in a blink of an eye. Sometimes it would understeer, other times it was oversteer that bit me. And this tune bit like a rabbid dog! I really hope one day to be able to tame tunes like this, but unfortunately that day has not arrives yet. Great effort, just not a tune suited for me...

Longest 10 laps of my life! If I thought Rotary's tune bit like a rabbid dog than thus tune bit like a zombie dog from Resident Evil! Seriously though after 10 laps I had one, yes just one, non red lap... I'm sorry but I have no idea how to improve this tune with only a few adjustments. I feel really bad scoring it this low, but i really couldn't drive this car... How you can, cory, is beyond me!

I really like the stability of this tune! Sometime it was a bit too stable causing some understeer upon entry and through mid corner. On exit the grip was great, unless I was over zealous, tgen when the back end came around I could not save it. I loved the brakes, they were strong like Shaun's and allowed me to go deeper into corners, though if I went too deep the understeer would cause me to lose my line. The trans was good, perfect spacing and it used the power well! Overall this was my favorite BTR tune! Great Job!
