Yup, so apart from the different size & type of tyres, also this makes the numbers less comparable.

I was spying on them when they started They used CMD - also from Italy (CMD Technologies srl).

Right...and this gadget will go to my (rapidly growing) shopping wish list...

I did some test driving yesterday in dry conditions and the car really felt quite good indeed. TBH, I would struggle to say that there was any noticeable difference from my last summer's top condition after GTT visit especially that there is several months in between.

It is possible the the latest figures are conservative, beats me. But the before/after ECU tune difference I can tell: the car is now much more lively and responsive.

Edit: Scan Gauge II ordered
