Feedback/Testing - 2015 Volvo S60 Polestar by PTG Ducky

My first reactions to this car and tune:
- Power and speed
- Awesome under heavy braking with nice turn in at the entry of a corner
- Need to be careful of accelerating too quickly out of corner exits

This was the first time that I have driven this car in Forza 6 and I can honestly say that I was very impressed. I must note though that it probably isn't a leaderboard car but would be very fun to drive in the lobbies against your mates.

I tested the car at a few different all round tracks (50 laps total) and noted a number of aspects of the tune. It does perform better at speed/fast circuits but was surprisingly strong at shorter tracks.

The brake pressure was spot on and it gave me confidence to hit corner entries under deep braking with really nice turn in at the entry and mid corner point. Corner exits was ok but it just required some throttle control.

The car felt heavy at times but this was most noticeable when I had to shift the weight car quickly through a chicane for example.

Pros
- Braking pressure
- Turn in at entry and mid point of corners
- Power
- Grip
- Awesome sound

Cons
- Slightly heavy to drive
- Requires smooth throttle control at corner exits
- Weight transfer

Overall this car was fun to drive and was very easy to pick up straight away from Lap 1.

Happy driving

Benny
