Thankfully track conditions were perfect, dry, 11c with a little sun and some wind, so dry tarmac and of course not been my car the TC was on but it was OK out of tighter corners using either 2nd or 3rd, not much difference really due to torque on offer.
The biggest let down was the 570S, I've driven them before so was not totally surprised, the steering, handling is all so perfect, but the engine is just such a let down, the paddles seemed somewhat uninvolving too, very capable, but somewhat devoid of fun factor, just very fast, but again TC on, so maybe its a different animal in suicide mode. A real shame because it just makes me think if they had plonked an NA V6 or V8 in them they could be so perfect. Sometimes you can accept a not totally perfect car because its a great all rounder, but the Mclaren engine to me is just a huge let down, but so many people buy cars these days just because its fast, I buy a car more for the feel and interaction. It is a shame because I think 720S looks insane, the performance is also insane but just not for me. It is too late now but I think it Mclaren could have offered say something like a 470S and plonked in an NA or SC V6 or V8 with same or less weight than a 570S with manual or paddles it would have been epic, Lotus have stepped up with Emira let us just hope that Lotus don't mess it up.
