Gran Turismo virtual track test epilogue

Being on a winter break, I decided to revisit my Gran Turismo track test exercise, and managed to improve my times in all eight cars. Interestingly, some gained more than others:

• M3 - 1'41.859 (-1.905) - gains 2 spots
• Merc E55 - 1'42.453 (-1.203) - same
• Evo - 1'43.095 (-0.238) - loses 2 spots
• Subaru STI - 1'44.646 (-0.908) - same
• Audi S4 - 1'46.762 (-1.191) - gains 1 spot
• Volvo S60 - 1'46.921 (-0.463) - loses 1 spot
• VW GTI - 1'51.634 (-1.735) - same
• Acura CL - 1'52.035 (-1.509) - same

The main conclusion here is that the M3, which I described as being a more demanding and rewarding drive, had a lot more to give, whilst the Evo turned out to have very little extra depth - the time I got first time round was very similar to this time. I ended up spending more time in the Evo than any other car, because I couldn't believe that I couldn't do any better. Alas, I was wrong.

The Audi made a marginally better gain than the Volvo too, but was still tedious work.

The STi was still my favourite!
