Iberian International Circuit- Pre Season Test track

This is the track that you can test your cars against other racers and post the times your getting.

If you just want to post the car , the time and the PI you can do just that.

If you want to post your thoughts along with the basic info you can do that.

Minimum Information to post:
Car Driven:
PI of that car:
Time Achieved:

Here is my process. I give each car 6 laps. I use the first lap to get a feel for the car and what it may need in a quick tune. After 1 lap I put a quick tune on the car based on the feedback from that one lap. Then I drive 5 laps and get the time..
1 Lap
Tune
5 Laps = Time

Tail happy. Not a bad car. Has potential.

Stable good brakes I liked it. This car was pretty easy to get in and go fast. Even with the quick tune it felt good and fast.

Seemed like a good car but needs time and TLC in the tune department. Felt a little slower in the twisties but good brakes and acceleration.

Right off the bat this car has the absolute worst view! OMG (I drive in car). If the car was doing any elevation change it was impossible to see! Despite being blind half the time this car is good. Handles good accelerates good easy to drive fast. If you don't use in car view this car is a sleeper!

umm rolled it on first lap after going in the grass. This car and I did not get along. I didn't like how it would brake into corners. I couldn't find a balance between push or oversteer with this car. Yet the time was surprisingly good. With a tune and some time who knows!

This car was a dream. Balanced great turn in and mid corner composure. I got faster each lap except the last lap where I pushed it and went off track on the turn after the uphill jump. Right hand drive took a sec to get used to.

Balanced, composed, brakes were good. A little under steer sometimes in the corners but a little more trail braking and all was gone. It's a BMW M nuff said.

The second I hit the go pedal and that familiar Ferrari sound danced across my ears I was at home. Then after the first corner then the second corner it was like the glove I lost still fit. The car accelerates, handles and brakes so nice. This car was easy to push and drive fast. I just love the prancing horse.

Another right hand drive that took me a second to get used to. But...WOW this car surprised me! It was super stable and communicated exactly what it was going to do at the limit. Which was higher than I thought. Great balance. I dont know if the quick tune i threw on it was the trick but WOW again. This car Is definitely 1 of the better cars I drove tonight.

I was actually pretty amazed at how stable this car was. The car does push a little at speeds and is a little harder to turn in, but is pretty consistent.

This car corners very well, runs slighty tight and is fairly easy on the throttle. This car can be driven a little aggressive with the right tune.

Rofl, I was definitely going to say the same thing about the Lotus Esprit...such a composed car, but the visibility is absolutely horrible. I can run decently fast times in it but that roll cage is really hurting me in that car because it blocks like 3/4s of the windshield so you can't see where you're going.

Very fun car to drive, good corner exit acceleration, very responsive and light on it's feet...reminds me a lot of my RX7 (big plus factor for me since I need a car that I won't get bored with mid season to stay motivated)

2008 BMW Z4 coupe
PI 635 (once again I need to check the list since its actually 637)
54.779

Absolutely amazing car to drive as far as carrying speed into and out of corners goes, it just grips!!! Lovely engine sound really gets the blood flowing, but I do seem to feel the weight on the front which seems to make it more prone to understeer...I'm sure fine tuning can get rid of this though

2010 Audi TT RS
PI 639

Love this car...mini R8 what?!?! So much fun to drive (big factor for me), has some oversteer when power is laid down at corner exit but that can be easily tuned out. Awesome mechanical grip and pulls very nicely on the straights. Crazy how this car handles as a RWD...Audi should consider building it lol.

should try it on Laguna, you're blinded for about 9/10 of the entire track lol

Yeah, I tried it there too rofl...its a shame, because the car is fun to drive and handles very well. I've been testing my prospects throughout the entire season just to get grips on what I want to drive for season 8 (so I won't be rushing when the time comes to select)

After my previous 12 laps I rebuilt the car to correct specs as well as I could and did another 5 full laps

Car Driven: '09 Jaguar XKR S

Time Achieved: 53.803

A strong car, not too stable so the back end is prone to kicking out. I tried it on Sebring and Silverstone and got a 2:13.645 and 1:58.899 respectively, so pretty decent times but it is not going to convert to anything special on some of the larger tracks. It won't be the most competitive, but it is okay and very nice to paint on.

Edited twice

1997 Masarati Ghibli (don't know why its not on the list, but it should be )
635
54.973

Fun car, not really sure its not on the list since it meets all requirements...plus it's different, I like different. It's very torquey so it tends it oversteer when you roll into the throttle, but in depth tuning can fix that. It is reponsive as far turn in goes. I love it.

ok, im not a very good tuner but i messed around with the 2011 subaru...

Subaru WRX '11

this car i think has potential, you can push it and has a surprisingly good amount of grip, i think it would be good to a new comer as it is fast enough to be looking at some of the A room times but easy car to get along with... except for when i get into the car and do my usual thing and roll the car (im pretty sure im cursed) and also i wanted to see how it felt on a completely other track, so i tried it on sebring... rolled it.

This thing is a beast. It sounds freaking wicked. I would drive this thing for sure.

LOL i do the same thing. I have rolled the car many times at Iberian, usually at the same corner.

My times in the Subaru are not worth mentioning, mostly due to the fact that my racing line is still very poor, and I think my gearing isn't "just right". I will say the Impreza has not let me down. It is a bit tail happy as a RWD car, but with the right tune, can stay very composed flat-out. as Bradsz stated, it has potential to be a competitive A-room car. I'm glad someone who can actually drive effectively and tune competently took this car for a spin. sets a sort of benchmark for me

luckily this season i aint flipped my car, but atleast 90% of the cars i have race/tested for this series i have rolled, but anyway make sure you test other cars first before fully choosing that Subaru, there is some hidden gems in that car list for GTC

2001 Acura Integra Type R (just to satisfy my morbid curiosity)
637
55.073

Wow, I wasn't expecting it to be that quick considering it started life as an FWD. Very fast acceleration, tends to oversteer for obvious reasons...225 rear tires, but a quick tune squashed that real quick and I was able to get the power down. The weight distribution is very good 49/51 front/rear. Surprisingly a lot of potential.

Wow! This car is damn near perfect! It has bundles of grip and also fast in the corners and out of the corners. I was immediately at home in this car. It pretty much did exactly as I wanted it with the exception of when I pushed it hard into a few of the corners and I got the front tires to scrub then I oversteered out of the corner. But hey that was fun. This car is not a sleeper...The racers have slept on this car in GTC!

First let me just say this car sounds freaking sexy. I must admit it sounds better than the 458 Italia. Push the go pedal and she screams to your heart and ears content! Now to the drive... The 599 GTO started out with a pretty bad push in it. But after I went and tuned it a lil bit I got rid of about 80% of the push. The car gets out of the corners good and down the straight like a bat outta hell. Into the corner I had to kind of baby it in there and then slowly accelerate out to full throttle to get the best time out of the car. I definitely think if I put more time into the tune of the car I could drop some time off the clock.

I never considered this car but that's a very quick time. I wouldn't have run it but at least I would know my vette is out gunned.
