What’s the most balanced track for handling vs power?
This is a good choice as I think it's design (especially in GTS) was that of a testing facility. I believe the cone tests on GTS were supposed to be in a car park overlooking the track until it was changed.I use Kyoto Yamagiwa+Miyabi for testing. It probably does favour power, but there's 3 different radius high speed corners, two kinks of vary speed, a number of switchbacks with turns 8 and 14 penalising twitchy cars quite a lot, and the uphill esses. It's a bit like a longer Suzuka.

The problem I find with somewhere like Brands is that it can be hard to hit repeatable laps because of corners like Paddock Hill... you can gain or lose a second if your turn in point or position is slightly different, similar story with Hawthorns, Westfield and Dingle Dell... you know when you get it right, but it's hard to get right lap after lap I find, it's more of a test of the drivers ability than the car's.haven't really tested much in GT7 as I don't necessarily have the time, but in GTS I used Brands as it is one of my better tracks and had lots of differing types of corner with 2 decent straights.
