Didn’t bother testing last week as I had so little interest in it, so Tuesday/Wednesday I did the one for this…

S1 Super GT (Estadio Circuit)

Merc SL65 Black (TheDannny) - 52.486
AM Vantage '13 (xiaoyuge233) - 52.778
Ferrari 599 GTO (Rayne SE) - 52.903
AM One-77 (RcR StriKer) - 52.953
Ferrari F12 TDF (Saeenu) - 53.036
Merc SLS AMG (SulexPagMan) - 53.070
Ferrari Roma (Sa1monBark) - 53.237
AM Vanquish Zagato (TheDannny) - 53.312

Ferrari Monza (SulexPagMan), Merc GT-S (Mustuff124), Merc GT-R (GreetedDust8) - 53.337
AM DBS SL (OnlyNaps ‘Full Aero’) - 53.462
Ferrari 812 (Mustuff124) - 53.554
AM DB11 (TGM) - 53.570
McLaren GT (K1Z Bard) - 53.654
Ferrari GTC4Lusso (GOD T8T) - 53.679
Ferrari Portofino (Mustuff124) - 53.737
Ferrari California T (Abell 370) - 54.179

Could have given me 10 guesses beforehand and I wouldn’t have guessed the Mercedes to finish top, it even set a PB for me beating my UrbanRebel time from a previous test by just 1 single frame.

Sorry to Abell for giving him the short straw, the California T’s just a garbage car but that has to be the best tune available for it, during the Italian series ages back we had a Super GT Trial on Estadio and that rubbish could only do a 55.306 with the tune I used back then.

As a matter of fact apart from Mustuff’s Portofino every one of the Italians has a vastly improved time here, The GTC4Lusso being the biggest (54.997 last time to 53.679 here).

The rest (I won’t name the tuners from last time though)…

599 GTO - 53.270 to 52.903 - 0.367 improvement
Monza - 53.453 to 53.337 - 0.116 improvement
F12 TDF - 53.593 to 53.036 - 0.557 improvement
Portofino - 53.737 - no change
Roma - 53.971 to 53.237 - 0.734 improvement
812 - 54.179 to 53.554 - 0.625 improvement
GTC4Lusso - 54.997 to 53.679 - 1.318 improvement
California T - 55.306 to 54.197 - 1.109 improvement

Many thanks. For the Porsche AWD (A800) Trial, I tried about 10 car and tune combinations and ended up with just 2 that were any good. The actual race turned out to be very easy, I took the lead very quickly and the AI only scored 300 points in each of the first 2 races.
