Well, I'm 1st and 3rd with the least power, so in terms of times, I'm not doing that badly. What about the drive, what about the drive? Any scores there yet?!
Well, assuming we all score highest in class or something. 
Oh god, does that mean I'd go into the finals with two R35s by my side? It's both a proud moment, toppling the tower of power that is the R35 with a somewhat dated Impreza, but really, I dun wanna fight an R35!!
But we still have our sector 2 times to look out for, where I believe torque would benefit any given car the most.
We'll see in due time. Now, if we were all driving our own car, I'm sure our times would be veeery different.. Shadow would have a lead of several seconds on me
Hmm
well, my Impreza has 459lb'ft of torque, I think. But it's all buried somewhere at the low to mid regions of the RPM band. Good thing is, as soon as the torque drops, there's still 500hp that's maintained all the way to around 8500rpm or so. So 3000RPM at 500hp might save my backside here.

In fact it comes out of the tunnel so fast that making the S-curve is nearly impossible if you don't start braking before the end of the sector.
Weird in a good way.Anyway, since you're giving feedback already Mat, how'd you find my Impreza?
Weird in a good way.
Through the hairpins, the car felt like it was about to oversteer. I try to let the rear slide out. Instead, upon applying more throttle, the car pushes forward...
I'll analyze the replay tomorrow to get more details.
Hence, when it feels like it's about to slide, you should encourage it a little bit more with the steering to correct the slight push that will occur after you gun it.
Yeah, it's something I'm not quite used to, due to getting overly attached to my precious MR2.It likes four wheel drifting, it is a rally car at heart after all.
Yeah, it's something I'm not quite used to, due to getting overly attached to my precious MR2.
Anyways, yeah, once you get the power down, it's very rewarding. If I can recall, I only succesfully did it once.
I'm only joking of course. My MR2 Racing also has some nice handling traits. Zero degree, zero smoke oversteer ("slip riding", a certain tester dubbed it) on sport softs and huge grip on throttle on slicks. And by that I mean, the more throttle you use, the more grip it gives. Not what you'd expect in a MR car the size of a toothpick, really.
Yep, after that run, I decided to give the car another go... Desp was there to watch the humiliation... Twice...
The way I remember it was Mat started the test, then halfway through the hairpins exited to check the cars settings saying he thought TCS or something was on. Then when he started the next run he ended up somehow losing the rear heading towards the tunnel, slamming into the wall at the entrance to the tunnel sideways and doing a couple 360s before stopping facing back down the mountain. Third run he actually managed to hold it all together for...Yep, after that run, I decided to give the car another go... Desp was there to watch the humiliation... Twice...
After watching Mat conduct his testing of all the cars, it was the only one that made me want to apply the tune to one of my own cars and try it out myself. The YB has a reputation as an oversteering handful to contend with, but from my vantage point as an observer, it produced a pair of the smoothest runs I saw that night.
The Season 2 T200 Class is closed to new entries so you'll need to wait for season 3 to get into the T200 class.

Take that Onboy! Told you the Dragon loved Sector 2.
, last at the moment, I don't mind , as it might have the worst power to weight ratio of all MAX entries and stock transmission. What makes me really curious is how does the car drives in the hands of the testers ? Takumi or Matt, care to shed some light
Point is in a Touge battle if your the chase car and fail to pass my Dragon in the first sector at Eiger your toast as I'll open the gap on you after that. If your lead then you have to completely smoke me in the first sector or I'll be all over you the rest of the way. This was Max Class so I went with a Max insanity car instead of trying to finesse some lightweight shoebox into keeping up with the big boys. You've done a good job of it but don't go calling yourself the king just yet.Does that seem a surprise? In fact, I think you should be more ashamed by the fact a 500hp Impreza can keep pace with your Veyron house mover at all.
And as for being passed, by the time anyone gets to be side by side with it, the thing's huge length would make passing it take an eternity!
