Its pretty clear many do not care or got the know how to set GTS up right prior to test, We cant blame them as most are to keen to get the foto session right or are more keen to simultanius drag start 20 car on same time to get a cool film.

Its only Ferrari who send their own guys to oversee sport auto test, like now on 488 test Ferrari got enginer and mecanics etc to set tire pressure etc. on car then sport auto drive. No other brand to it like that on sport auto test anyway.

Still I dont care that resultat differ, but I feel its importent to enlighten the few that dont get this.

Sport auto tester know how, also other euro mag test do very Well. Auto bild and auto zeitung got damn fast Times With GTS.

Bmw M dont care other than on press launch at portiomao, all cars was set right for GP track and all god reviw came out. After that all cars was sold anyway hence BMW dont care to overlook test like Ferrari do.

But then again its plenty who dont know what they are doing.
Motortrend for instace drove GTS on high street setting in figure 8 lap(here is prof) and thats wrong. Also the got wrong tire pressure on racetrack. Rear should not be higher than front pressure in a front engin car. Sport auto know exakt right tire pressure and it is 2.3 bar front and 2.1 bar rear(hot)

Also see how MT say about GTS on launch, that its only spinning. Well that due to they dont launch GTS on hot tires, sport auto do that, hence totaly different experience in the launch.
