Shes VERY easy to drive, with the setup we have now its oversteering a bit, although very predictablly. Im gonna adjust a few things in the interior to make it more comfortable (seat, pedals, shifter) as what feels good in your garage can feel like crap on the track after a few laps. Power wise it's running strong, and I think it will be quick in its class against other ITS cars, although it still feels like crap to get passed like I was standing still on the straights by the slew of vettes running out there.

I havent put on the R compounds yet as it was the first shakedown, so things should get quite a bit quicker next time out. The tires we did have on were pretty lacking in grip (cheapo Z rated street tires) and It caused me to get in a little trouble for what the stewards called "drifting" at the end of the day...bit it was all good.

after the third session of the day the oil sender for the oil pressure pilot light blew and oil was gushing out of the engine, but luckily we managed to plug it and keep on running for the rest of the day.

all and all very happy with it.
