Switched to Alfa for some comparison, well not even a competition for the RWDs, no chance. Beat my E30 DTM time in first 5 laps with a set for Alfa from another track that is far from tuned well while my E30 has years and thousands of kilometers and races in it's tuning and it's a car I drive most while I avoid the Alfa except when the Alfas get annoying with their imbalance in more serious racing. 20C air 28C tarmac did 1-57-230 on mediums fastest so far and with similar set then in race 1-57-510, holding pretty much low 58s with two mid 57s at the end going up to high 58s as the steering starts to give up. Alfa is a total newbie car very easy to drive unlike the E30 as always. On top of that it goes 1s faster on Barcelona with almost no effort and training, 2s is more realistic advantage of it there. Mostly it's because of AWD corner exits with the highest power by 9% of all 3 DTM cars.

And I'm no Alfa 155 expert, barely drive it, there are people who drive it mostly out of the 3 DTM cars and they will go much faster than that.
At least this race wasn't plagued with 200ms+ people at top of the field this time and I could race with my friend Luigi without worrying about people warping around.
For comparison so far my fastest E30 DTM race but that could also because of drafting behind an Alfa as much as I could.

5s slower with E30 and that's with drafting most likely and pushing a lot on a car I know well and have driven hundreds if not thousands of races for years now.
The Alfa is overpowered without any balancing, a lot.
2nd race with Alfa 155:
01:57.48 00:34.076 00:44.789 00:38.615
21:41.961
There is no way for E30 to push such low total times.
