Rawness
Some of my cars/experiences
Current car - Jag XF - Fantastic car - does everything I want for everyday motoring - no rawness whatsoever
Lotus Exige S1 - bought 19 years ago - will never sell has rawness in spades - runs rings around other cars on trackdays on tight tracks - best car I have ever owned - rawness ++
Formula Ford - some of you guys should try a 420kg, 120 bhp Ford engined single seater - leaves a smile on your face that a Supercar just can't match - rawness/engagement ++++ off the scale - but don't use it on the road )
McLaren 570S - much more sophisticated Lotus for the road - looking forward to putting it on he track and will report later - early indications are good
Yes come and track it you know you want too !!!Rawness

I am currently experimenting with the best wheel and tyre combination for my 570s Track Pack. No definitive conclusion even off the Mac US sites but I’m trying to dial in a little less drama/ rawness .
It’s easier with my Lotus as Cup 2’s everytime and rawness In abundance !!

Would be really interested in your conclusions regarding wheel/tyres comparisons for the 570 I am currently experimenting with the best wheel and tyre combination for my 570s Track Pack. No definitive conclusion even off the Mac US sites but I’m trying to dial in a little less drama/ rawness .

Still ongoing , but contrary to popular opinion the 720s Superlights with Corsas do fit and work on a 570S for road use , not so sure for track.
The default does seem to be PS4s for all round use on standard rims and I concur but where you have 2 wheels sets you can have optimum for both road and track. Spacers can also make a difference particularly on track. The 600lt set up is maybe the one to aim for !
