and ****** hell, what a road test.
This, is REEEEEEAAAAALLLLYYYY GOOD!!!!
The map is fairly aggressive, with strong boost the whole way through the range, but Nikis still held it well back from it's earlier 370lbft state where it would have been a true animal I'm sure.
He's also done something very interesting with the throttle mapping, which I'm really liking so far, the first 50-60% of the throttle do not request any N75 duty at all, so up to 50% throttle the car runs at 1 bar and just pulls really nicely and smoothly.
it's only when you go beyond 60% throttle right up to 100% that it starts making any additional boost request and the full force is unleashed, it seems to work really well existing bends, where you want to be feeding the power in gently so as not to upset the balance, then when you know it'll take it you can press that last 20% and it really, REALLY takes off.
3rd gear is now absolutely savage, and even 4th and 5th still pull hard from anything above 3k rpm. the Rev limit is now at 7600rpm too, although it still finds it too fast in 2nd and 3rd!
