Have you read Henry's article? He is the one who did the road test. Jethro's track review with a Sport trim car with Tour trim tires was odd and then comparing it to a GT4.

Is Henry's review available online? The print article on EVO website was quite glowing, gave it 4 out 5 stars. Said there is a lot more potential in the car. But nothing in the article from Henry.
Yeah I read it this morning (EVO is on apple news and Zinio if you can't find print copy yet). It's 4 out of 5 stars, definitely a positive review. Says that the car prefers to be driven smoothly and not pushed too hard or driven in a sideways fashion.

Seems like he really liked the car, but it gives off the air of being a softer GT car compared to the Evora GT.

The Jethro track article included opinions from John Barker and Steve Sutcliffe who also drove it and said "why does it feel so heavy?"
