It's a perfect car , very fast on any technical track, and easy to drive like most 4WDs, but without the typical lazy front-end behavior. It’s very grippy and shows great eagerness. It laps SPA in 2:16 with ease and goes under 6:30 on the Nordschleife in my hands.
I did some tests at 600PP; the handling, of course, was excellent, but its performance wasn’t competitive enough for PP racing, good but not superior.
I really love the stock setup , it’s a great car to race online in its original form.
Enjoy your drive. ><(((((((°>°°°°°°

Well, I sometimes drive using a controller from my hammock , mainly when I’m checking options like turbo or no turbo, more torque versus more power , comparing against my initial ghost around the track I’m test driving on. Then I move to my rig to tune and fine-tune the balance, focusing on how the weight transfers through the four corners. After that, if needed, I adjust the limits , the amount of weight transfer allowed by the chassis settings in Gran Turismo. With a controller, you can definitely match the performance of a good wheel, but you’ll never get the same feel. In my opinion, you only get about 20% of the full feedback. The main issue I’ve noticed on corner entry , since the latest physics update, and honestly, since the last two or three , is that the brake balance setting feels almost useless now. I can’t feel any added front grip or eagerness when entering a turn, even when I set the brake balance fully to the rear. There’s no reaction at all. It used to be much more responsive in earlier games like GT Sport, or even GT6 and GT5. I hope they fix this in the next update. Of course, the rest of the physics could be improved too, but this particular point would make a big difference , but this particular point would make a big difference , adding more feel and driving pleasure to our favorite racing game..😁👌

2025-07-27 10:40:12 +0000 UTCI read Maestro's comments very carefully before taking this car out. I won't say I disagree, but...(Everything after this is easily explained as another example of how playing with a wheel and with a controller "feel" different, are different.) 1. I have never driven a GTR/Skyline in GT that I did not like, and I still haven't. Given the fact that this car is a bespoke masterpiece of one of the finest racing programs sets lofty expectations. For as good as this car is, it did not meet those expectations for me. 2. While I would not describe the front end as "lazy", this car does "push" in the corners. It's not to the level of understeer (and it may be owing to the semi-stock brakes), but I cannot consistently place this car properly entering a corner. To me, it doesn't feel like a grip issue. It feels like a weight issue even though the weight reductions bring this car down to ~2700lbs. The result is being slower at apex or exit as I correct for it. I even tried playing with the torque split because I thought it might be an artifact of the way the AWD was putting power down, but it seemed the same. 3. Acceleration is excellent and top speed is very good. There are some faster given enough runway, but very few at this PP in a sprint. 4. I have only been able to manage a 6:49.1 so far with this car, but I am still experimenting. Perhaps this is the reason I feel underwhelmed. I either placed too high an expectation, or am incapable of harnessing this cars potential. 5. None of this should (or will) discourage anyone from setting this thing up and letting it rip. Even though I feel I can't or the car won't let me get to it's full potential it is still a piece of automotive history and great fun to drive.
