Nice to see Maserati getting a bit of love. Always really liked the Gran Turismo. Sounds beautiful and has that great Italian styling.

themes this week: rain, M3

suspected Tsukuba was going to be wet and sure enough it went right to the top/third of the rain scope
M3 '03 made short work of eiger
gold was set very easy for the time trial top 10 I saw were 3+ seconds faster than gold (this is not 3%)
918 with sports mediums was fun @Maggiore, 996 rabbit was able to keep up in the corners
M3 again, bought inters on a hunch, ran fuel lean, pitted on 8th lap for inters

6 star gives me 500,000 credits

6* gave me a nsx concept '16

I can't really think of a comment for each event.
Oh well—just take a look at the car I used this time.

The absence of ABS allows me to rotate this car with a slight slip angle. A tap would do.

No ABS for the second week in a row.

550 pp tuned EF Civic with brake bias all the way to the rear makes it turn like an FR.

The 365 GTB4 Daytona provided a neat challenge, but not frustrating.

The Maserati surprised me a lot on how it still has that compliant handling despite the absence of ABS. It can even slide its rear a bit if you know how much pressure you apply on the pedal on rotation.

911s are best driven with 0 brake balance if you decide your foot (or trigger finger) to do all the stopping.

The KTM can be a tricky one. I used it in relation to this weekend's Austrian GP, and its popularity as Spielberg's taxi. Lift and coast is the key to get the most out of its fuel. Will try the Radical and/or the BAC Mono as well, with those cars also having zero driving aids in real life.

6 star ticket reward:
