The gears were set using the infamous Tranny Trick and the Final adjusted to suit.

Test Track was Grand Valley and altho' the gears need tweaking for the first tunnel section it goes okay. Grip levels seem good for the tyres and I have it dialed to steer on the throttle i.e.controlled power-oversteer.

The nose will seem to hang out to dry if you don't get your corner entry speed down and you can alter that with the Diff but the Esprit has problems with braking over crests and slackening the Decel will exacerbate them.

Running S3 tyres improves lap times hugely as you'd expect. I lapped in the 1'59's rather than the 2'07's with those boots on.
