i figured i should re-review these gems. reading others' takes i feel like we aren't talking about the same mod, or there's some issue happening on their end.
this last update brings a heightened sense of confidence, and at times perceivably more bias towards understeer. ironically, they actually seem grippier across the board, and it feels like it's only the balance of front/rear grip that makes it easier to understeer in certain situations. it's a positive change across every option - the cars handle impressively within reasonable limits, oversteer is easily recoverable outside of egregious driver error, and most importantly they're a blast to lap in.
the lap times and g forces these cars are capable of speak for themselves. they can easily be overdriven, but that comes down to driver error. to be fair though, it is a huge contrast to the rails that come along with kunos "semi" slicks or "street" tires.

'Pheeew, I'm sweating when this car slides like this!'

thanks again for all the work put into this beautiful collection. it's the most consistent favorite of mine, and my go-to for fun solo lapping.
