So, since i've been away for a while, a little review for CoTM:

Tested:

Beginner Level NRC 400PP Motegi Seasonal Winner! 👍

A relative easy win, a nice surprise (and one not so good) and a "bug" that won't go away... :D

Car Review:

  • Cornering Capability - A lot! The little bugger has an incredible weight transfer, which allows an outrageous rotation... Maybe too much rotation, noticed that it helped on the fast cornering but on slow it caused some unwanted oversteer. That kind of "steals" a bit of the car essence, the fast cornering!
  • Understeer or Oversteer - Regarding understeer, never noticed to be appearing even while driving to the limit. It keeps nice and tidy threw the corners and almost no braking is needed... The oversteer appeared when I took the cornering to the limit! :D
  • Braking: Can't say much of it, almost never used it!! :lol: Seriously, when need it was there, effective and steady. Very well balanced...
  • Top speed and acceleration - Limited to the bug transmission! :grumpy: However the stock tranny (the one I used) got the job done, so on Motegi fitted nicely, on the longest straight reached the max rev on the right time.
  • Transmission - :grumpy: and :grumpy:... Cannot review the tuner values...
  • Suspension - On the spot, nice and stiff enough to cause no bounce. Dealt with the "excessive" rotation quite nicely...
Overall:

Really enjoyed the car, a cornering machine at 400PP. Maybe a little change on the ballast/weight and you can leave the brakes at home! :lol:

Great tune Mr. D! 👍


NOTE: Regarding @shaunm80 several tunes, I have reviewed some of it, gonna try to find on Shaun Garage... :nervous:
