Anyway, crappy translations aside, time for more stuff I guess:
Mercades A45 AMG: this time I got it right
(Do not send it in that corner btw, doing it offline was scary and you are going to ruin someone else's day if you do it online)
So, what's the deal with the A45? Didn't I already review it and said it was rubbish? Well, yes, but after driving the Focus yesterday I thought to myself I'd give it a chance with a new tune similar to the Ford's. The tl;dr is, instead of focusing on power, I focused on reducing the car's weight by as much as I possibly could, especially since something I noticed last time was the massive understeer, and also because that's the tune I used on the Focus - put it on a diet (weight reduction 2) and slap a massive turbo in it. And it paid off, I have to say, quite substantially.
So, first of all, I'll break my rules and post the lap times, which are, in this case, low 2:11s/mid-high 2:10s. That's an improvement from the previous ones (I distinctly remember doing 2:12s and getting frustrated I couldn't go faster, which in itself made me go even slower), though it's not as fast as the other 4WD hatchback on this list by more than one second per lap.
Performance wise, top speed of slightly less than 300 km/h, very good handling though not as good as the Focus', very good acceleration and enough acceleration to keep up with the GT-R and the NSX for the first half of the straight mean this car will be good to drive and you are going to have a fun time. But just like the Ford, the understeer can hit you very hard if you don't expect it and you could get a 5 seconds penalty (it sucked), so be careful on fast corners. Also bit of a side note, brakes are not quite as good as some other entries on this list, so braking slightly earlier will be your main ally here.
Economy wise, since it's a turbocharged car its fuel economy is not as good as an NA but good enough to be on par with other turbocharged ones - pit at the end of lap 7, get 5 laps of fuel in your tank, fresh mediums, and you are good to go like a cat on a pedestal in Ancient Egypt.
Speaking of tyres, since it's lightweight and you don't get as much understeer as the previous tune, tyre wear is waaaaay less harsh, you can go and smooth sail your way to victory without problems. Well, you may end up with the NSX on your tail in a bunch of occasions, but it's manageable.
Final thoughts: fun car, I have no complaints about it except for the fact that the Focus is faster, but that's pretty much it really. Recommended to give it a try with this tune (weight reduction 2+ turbo and other components like intercoolers and stuff like that).
GT by Citroen: not what I expected
First thing to notice, this car can't get a widebody, nor any aero component except for a single "type a" spoiler, because this car has already some standard not customizable aero on it. So the only thing you could change is the wing, really.
Second, this car has by default a fully customizable ECU, fully customizable suspensions, fully customizable differential and racing brakes.
All of this pretty much makes this car a gr.3/b road car version of its race variant. Though maybe the opposite would be more accurate.
Also, this is a car I won from a roulette ticket, so I didn't need an invitation to buy it. I know it sounds like a brag but I would have preferred an engine to this car. Also, invitations suck.
Anyway, ranting aside, time to get to the review.
Or maybe not, because there is another thing that bugs me about this car: apparently, reducing power or adding weight INCREASES THE PP LEVEL for some unknown reason, so in order to get below 600pp I had to increase by 1mm the front suspensions compared to the rear ones. And that caused porpoising on the straight, apparently. Amazing.
Anyway, this time it's actually time to go to the review. And I can safely say this car looks way more like a gr.3 road car: awful top speed and understeery yet precise and on gr.4 level handling. If you have driven a gr.3 road car before, be it on GT7 or GTS, you know the feeling: it's as if you are driving a racing car without the grip coming from the slick tyres, and despite all the power the engine makes, your top speed is 275 km/h at best. And you also have grip for days, which is a plus, this is the only RWD car in which I could avoid using TC for the double apexes hairpin at the end of the lap.
Also, since I mentioned racing brakes: this car has good brakes (duh), and that threw me off because I couldn't use my usual braking points I used for literally every single entry in this review and so I had to adapt on the spot. It was fun and absolutely, totally not frustrating.
Pain, tako.
Anyway, economy wise this car is ok - it treats the tyres very well and doesn't drink too much fuel, though it's not really as good as other NAs I have to say. Nothing impressive, nothing awful, it's something you'd expect from a gr.3 car overall. So if you are used to daily C you will feel a bit at home here.
Lap times wise... meh. Mid 2:11s, it's not bad but many other entries here are way faster than that. You can really feel losing a lot of time on the straight and gaining a similar amount of time in the technical section, though it took me more time adapting to the car over driving fast.
Final thoughts: this car is not worth 1 mil credits, nor an invitation - at best it's worth what the other gr.3/b road cars are worth. Plus, for this event, I'd take the Focus or the Corvette over this any day.
As always, thank you for taking your time to read those reviews (I genuinely feel like I'm improving the more I make these ngl), and if you have any request if you are curious about how a car would fare, I will gladly try it (though, I won't be able to fulfill most of the legendary dealership requests, and for the used ones it will depend on availability, though it should be more doable). As for tomorrow, I'm planning to use very unique cars... 👀
