Description:

Hi there, and welcome to the Dutch Customs AMG Sunday! Designed as a little get-together rather than an official race event, this is a one-time event, which is held this Sunday!

The choice of car for this event is the Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG, the track is High Speed Ring. You hardly ever see one of these babies online; even though the SL55 AMG stutters and shudders when you enter a corner, I gave it some of the DC magic and it now handles *very* nicely. Of course, it can't keep up with the Clio's but it's still an absolute blast to drive! The R tires give it enough grip so novice and expert alike can enter this event!

I hope the grid will be filled, and most of all: have fun! See you guys on track (I hope :P :lol:) If you want to be driving something different, this is your event!

I tried tuning it for 550PP, but on S-tires it needed to much downtuning. And I really didn't like it on N3's. ;)
 
Will try and be there tomorrow. Probably going to need someone to replace the guard rails, when i'm done racing! NLxAROSA if your tunes come with a guarantee, that i will not hit the guard rails we will be set!!:sly:👍
 
I bet heaps of people show up to this event, unlike my Corvette race, hell, I'd show up too if it was at a time I could make.

Edit: Eh? People see my name in the thread and avoid it or something?:P No posts in 5hrs

I was going to donate my own SL 55 AMG for the event but I can't double-tune post in my own thread.:ouch:

Edit 2: Hope you don't mind NLxAROSA.

Tuner's Notes:
Keep it in 3rd gear, don't use 2nd gear
I would have made it 650 PP exactly but it can't actually be done.:ouch:
Rev it all the way to 7,000rpm

No guarantees, but the tune will make it a hell of a lot harder to hit the rails. I gave it quite a few laps yesterday evening and it handles quite well. And if you manage to stay in a draft, it will keep up with the faster cars. And if a slow geezer like me can keep up, you fast guys certainly should be able to. :D

No, not at all, the more tunes the merrier. :) I linked to it in the first post.
 
I am defiantly going to try and make it to this event ! A bit to early for me but I will drop by when I get the time to.

An absolute gold this tune of yours !
 
Cool event idea... 👍 If I get back from BBQing on time I'll come in for a couple as well... Nice one Arosa :)
 
Done this combo lastnight with the DC tune,and i have to say it works like a charm:tup:Found myself doing 1'11s and if you get a toe up the straight you will be looking at very low 11s and even 10s in the hands of a good driver.I am looking forward to this one off event.:)

I'm starting early since I turn in early when I have to work and get up at 5am the next day. ;) Of course, don't let that stop you from racing till whatever hour you want. 👍

This car looks so sexy and the V8 sounds so awesome. I have wanted to create a tune for it for a very long time, but I never seemed to be able to nail it. Up until now. :) I tried it online yesterday and it is able to keep up with the faster cars if you manage to catch a draft. The R-tires give it enough grip to follow through the corners. I'm looking forward to seeing a couple of these babies online tonight. :)
 
I just ran some laps in free run Lars, it feels great buddy, and as you say, it sounds real nice. Its almost glued to the track. I think there will be some nice close racing going on tonight. :cheers:
 
Alright, for those of you who wish to enter: I have added a little twist to start post in the form of a dresscode. The dresscode for this event is 'Obsidian schwarz', which means 'Obsidian Black'. Of course, I don't mind anybody joining in a different color, but it would be nice to see all black AMG's tonight. :)
 
theewar
But i already got my Tux in (Andraditgrun):D.
Click to expand...
Like I said, every color is allowed, even the girly ones. :P :lol:

Nah, just kidding, if you don't want to waste the credits on a black one, that's okay. 👍 I just thought it would be cool to see all 'Black Series' AMG's online tonight. :)

You seem to like green, there is an 'Emerald Black' in there, which is sort of extremely dark green metallic. :)




I'll be in at xx:24 for some test laps. :)

EDIT: Some nice racing going on already with three out of six cars being AMG's. 👍

EDIT2: Overall, some really great racing going on. Seems to be rather busy online at the moment though, so we get split up sometimes.

Tonight was simply awesome! Very close and clean racing, despite some disturbing elements (a.k.a. punters). But the bad notes were minimal, overall this was an awesome event. Thanks for making this work, guys, I enjoyed it. 👍 Have to catch my beauty sleep now. ;)
 
another 10 car grid :)


@ wanna-B There was no need to stop, I was never going to make the corner anyway 👍

I just had my last race, good fun with a lot of good racers all night. :cheers:

I second that!!! Just would have liked one good starting position! But with all the fast drivers, i don't think it would have made a difference! Had fun anyways!:)👍👍
 
It was a fun event and if anything, it helped me to learn the HSR quite extensively.
The rolling start combined with a talented grid makes it difficult to pass though. I spent one of the races edging closer to GTP_Grenade with each lap. Finally i pass on the 10th lap after he makes a mistake - 2 bends later i make a mistake and he takes the position. Damn:sly:
 
The event was a big success; count on more of these 'special' events to appear in the future. :)
 
Since this event was highly succesful and a lot of fun with all those V8 Kompressor engines roaring all over HSR, I decided to run it again upcoming Sunday. Hope to see you online!
 
Since the missus has planned something for Easter, I might not make it in time (or at all), for this event. Let that not stop you from enjoying it though, the AMG is very fun to drive. 👍 I actually hope we get some high PP races again in the next event update, so we can drive it at another track as well. :)
