Turn-in: 7. At normal cornering-speeds, without the effects of braking, the car was a bit sluggish to turn. Turning had to be started a little early, but once the (front) wheels start regaining grip, turn-in is sharp and controllable.
Mid-corner Response: 5. I'm sorry, but the car, under constant (and at the right dose) throttle, like the long 180-degree corner on the north-east, it just wants to go straight, and needs a dab of braking to set it straight (cornering, actually) again. Probably due to the rollcage. On shorter corners, it was better, but you still needed to be carefull. On the left-right after T1, and the downhill part (at the end), the car showed the exact opposite - skittish, with a (very) strong tendency to oversteer and spin out of control.
Corner-exit: 9. Due to the lack of TCS, care was needed on slow corners (2nd gear). Apart from that, exiting the corners could be done smoothly and quickly, which was, I think, what made the car set the fastest lap time. A point deducted because of the TCS - without it, a slightly hard dab on the throttle would cause the car to spin out.
Stability: 6. Again, the rear tends to catch up with the front, and on the downhill-speeding part, it turned a bit too quick, causing uncontrollable reactions. However, this tendency also caused the car to handle well under extremely high speeds (the kink at the straight).
Grip: 6. The only one without TCS (Which deserves a bonus, in my opinion), which caused lots of spin in first and second. Accelleration, however, was very quick, 3rd, 4th and 5th gears were all pretty short, which made the accelleration out of a corner quick. 6th was just right for the straight, so it's in the redline, without bouncing. Looses points for the oversteery handling and the lack of TCS.
High-speed controllability: 10. Those settings absolutely excelled at high speeds. Both on the straight, and on the northern part (under trees, before the double-right), the car turned quick, changed directions like a lightning, and kept speed well. I wouldn't expect that thing from a 1450KG (After weight-reduction) monster... Slalom-tests I conducted on the straight were very good - I managed to stay off the walls, and turn ~45 degrees to the wall, even at 180KM/h.
Handling while Braking: 10. All the things above, tough turn-in and everything, all dissappear while braking. Quick dabs, when higher speeds are needed (double-left after T2), will make the direction-changes quicker. Long braking (after the straights) won't upset the car, it won't sink into understeer, and no oversteer. Just perfect turning.
Accelleration: 8. Apart from the wheelspin (lack of TCS), the car accellerates very quick, due to the short gearing of 1st-5th gear. Spin only noticeable during 1st and 2nd gear. When launched well, without excessive spin, it will be very quick.
Final Thoughts: Turning without braking could use a little work. Overall, it was the setup that was the fastest for me, even though it's the weakest (no oil-change, Stg.2 NA Tune). I didn't like the way it handled, and it's hard to push it, but it still handles good to be fast.

Turn-in: 9. Sharp and quick, yet a little wobbly... can't comment a lot about it.
Mid-corner response: 9. Stays in the line very well, and "invites" you to push it more and more, seemingly without ever having a limit. When it crosses the (high) limit, it's too late, though.
Corner-exit: 10. It's as if the car knows where the corner ends, and tells you to push the throttle more. Very exact exits, with high speeds can be made - That "no limit" also applies here, you just floor it, and the car starts to move towards the outside of the track, without any spin, just like you want it to.
Stability: 7. It's a little oversteery, only stopped by the TCS. No TCS would cause it to spin at every turn, though. It's a seems to fight you back when you fight it, the right style for this setup is pretty hard to find. Quick left-right/right-left turns kill it.
Grip: 6. Yes, even though it has TCS, it oversteers more than Incary's setup, and can be trown in a powerslide/drift into some of the corners. But this is grip-driving, so no. However, the Stg.3 NA Tune, combined with a slightly weird gearing, cause the car to "wheelspin", even under TCS, in 4th gear (!), and TCS lights up even in 5th.
High-speed stability: 8. Sharp, but a little too quick to change directions - smooth turning is required.
Handling while braking: 8. Good turning while braking, even though a hint of understeer sneaks in.
Accelleration: 6. Weird gear-choices (Some ratios aren't even available!) and excessive power make wheelspin a nightmare, which causes the TCS system to interfere too much. It's either slow, controlled accelleration, or slow, with a bit of spin, and a slowed-down engine by TCS. 6th gear a bit sluggish - it's too long, and the car doesn't even redline at the end of the straight.
Final thoughts: A pretty extreme setup, but it worked well. Under clean conditions, where only the setup is tested, it scores best. It seems to be the most communicative, and very forgiving (except during accelleration, but TCS helps). I'd take that setup, with a slightly weaker engine. Fits like a glove, and even if it had the same power as the other setups, it would have been first.

Turn-in: 8. Pretty fast - a hint of understeer, but not a lot, and very controllable at the right speeds.
Mid-corner: 6. Tends to understeer badly during long corners. Good on short ones, though.
Corner Exit: 8. Understeers a bit, at times, after long corners. On short, and sharper ones it oversteers a bit, but still controllable. Grips just at the right time, and allows for shave-close exits.
Stability: 8. The best one during the tough downhill section, because of the good stability. Responses are predictable, doesn't jump wildly during slaloms.
Grip: 9. The best here - has the least oversteer, and TCS eliminates wheelspin well. A bit of oversteer looses a point, though.
High-speed stability: 9. Predictable, quick to turn, and very stable. No unexpected jumps, but also not as sharp as Incary's setup. Very good.
Handling while Braking: 10. Perfected - hard braking while turning doesn't cause excessive understeer, and also doesn't cause oversteer - neutral. Slight dabs help to keep the line.
Accelleration: 9. TCS kills the wheelspin well (not overpowered), and the gearing is quick enough - even though you used an Auto-gearing, with Final-drive adjustement, it's perfect - redline at the end of the straight, without bouncing. Gearing is good, after all.[/QUOTE]
