Lotus's understeer is annoying on power, but it's pretty great aside from that.
Mazda is a lot of fun to drive, but it's braking and turn-in is not great
Not tried the Beetle yet
I only drove the Porsche, its really the one I'd like to drive for the series. Seems to drive well, just need to up my skill to handle the power!
As a general it is balanced on braking, but just on the edge of stable.
some times controlling the rear is a slight struggle but thats my control not the car, and usually high rev 2nd (spinning the tyres up) the is the culprit.
But I sure enjoy the challenge!
Had to start pole for bothe the second races, much to my surprise.
I feel like I cut into the corner in front of Dima on the first corner of barcelona possibly causing him to brake abit more than should have - that was not my intention though.
Lotus is really fun under braking since I can actually trail brake the car, though the throttle understeer is annoying. Also seems to struggle a little on tire temps but I'm not sure. Overall very fun car to drive, loads of hrsprs and brake power

Pressures > temperatures. Source: Aris, Kunos Simulazioni. Before everyone else starts to comment on this again
Thought I'd post here, Because of the delay to the actual testing I drove all three cars tonight
The Porsche is still my preferred choice of car but could fairly easily drive the Lotus too
The Lotus as previously mentioned has quite alot of on power understeer so I feel you need to enter the corner quicker than you would normally and use the coast to turn in keeping the grip on the front and then power on later to get the best line through the corner. (this is probably an exaggeration of the driving style)
the RX-7 is more like the F40 with the rear wanting to step out of line at the slightest of nudges, I did not feel overly confident driving the car and definately could not push the car as hard as needed to use and be competitive, I could drive this car but was significantly slower to learn the nuances - would be an interesting choice for the series just for the learning experience gained from the hours on track, but would not expect much in the way of points.

Thanks, there are some updates on the way, I think I will finalise them tomorrow! Fresh Lotus, Mazda and Porsche which will likely fix most peoples' issues!

If I'm able to race on Sunday, I will be driving the porsche on my sidel. As I have always been driving Lotus' on previous races, I really like how I can aim the front of the Porsche to where I want to go

You can't reserve a car, so you best hope there's a Porsche left then. As said on Discord as well, all cars setups' are soon updated based on the feedback I got, hopefully tomorrow or Saturday..
