60/40, 40/60, 460PP tuning challenge
Grab out your lead weights, people, it's time for the lead-tipped arrows to battle cars with a massive derierre!
Tuners
1) Enter the competition by posting here, saying that you would like to sign up as a tuner. (edit 31/8/12) Tuners signing up after GMT 14:15 on 31/8/12 must also test at least one group of 5-8 cars.
2) Pick one street car (no DLC, RM or racing cars) to enter into the competition. There are no restrictions on drivetrain, but the following cars are can't be used: Suzuki GSX-R/4, (edit 1/9/12) Honda/Acura NSX/HSC/Dualnote/DNX, Lotus Esprit and Lotus Evora.
3) Add ballast if necessary (there is no limit) to achieve either 40/60 or 60/40 weight distribution. (To save time picking a car, here is a tip on achieving 60/40 or 40/60: the maximum weight possible for a car that starts off with 50/50 weight distribution is approx 800 kg and the maximum weight possible for a car that starts off with 55/45 or 45/55 is approx 1400 kg)
4) Fit sports soft tyres and tune car to 460PP for Autumn Ring and High Speed Ring Reverse. The same tune is to be used at both tracks. Keep in mind the scoring system and the conditions for testing (both below). If front downforce is adjustable, it must be set to the minimum. Full use of the power limiter is allowed. Also, ABS and controller sensitivity settings can be specified as part of the tune. Some testers may prefer to test without ABS, if you want to give them that option, include "ABS: x or off" in your description.
5) By 8 September (00:00 GMT), post your tune and send a PM with a link to nomis3613 when it is ready (so that it can be linked in this post).
6) Make sure your car has driven at least 320 km, then place it on sharing by 8 September (00:00 GMT). There are no rules regarding oil change, however it is not testers responsibility to ensure the car does not lose hp, therefore you might like to ensure it has fresh oil...
7) By 9 September (00:00 GMT), ensure that all testers in your group are on your friends list. It is your responsibility to send Friend Requests, please send a PM to nomis3613 if a tester has not accepted the FR by this deadline.

If necessary, can you test the "grand final" group in late September:
2) Accept Friend Requests from tuners in your group. If a tuner has not sent you a Friend Request by 9 September (00:00 GMT), please send a PM to nomis3613. Please do not test tunes before 9 September, in case a tuner decides to revise his/her tune before the deadline.
3) From 9 September, test all cars in your group. If you don't test all cars in a group, unfortunately your results can't be counted (all tunes need to be tested by the same testers for the results to be fair). Use offline practice mode, with real grip reduction and tyre wear/fuel consumption off. All driving aids must be off, and use controller sensitivity 0 unless the tuner specifies otherwise. For ABS, please use the value the tuner specifies (if they say "ABS: x or off" you can test without ABS if you want), if ABS isn't specified in the tune, please use ABS 1.
4) By 19 September, post all results in a single post using the template below (feel free to add results as you go by editing the post) and send nomis3613 a PM with a link to the post (so that it can be linked in this post).

Autumn Ring best laptime:
High Speed Ring Reverse best laptime:
Drivers choice points (out of 10):
Scoring system
The scoring is made up of Autumn Ring laptime, High Speed Ring laptime and Driver's Choice points. The laptimes used for scoring will be the average of all the testers times for that car.
Autumn Ring points = 10 - 2*(your car minus fastest car)
High Speed Ring Reverse points = 10 - 2*(your car minus fastest car)
Driver's choice points: Testers will score each tune out of 10. The average of the tester's score will be used.
Fine Print
Play nice! Discussion and banter is welcomed, but arguing or abusive comments will not be tolerated (you will be disqualified from the competition and, if appropriate, reported to GT Planet moderators). Every effort will be made to have a fair competition, but it's only a videogame, so it's not worth getting annoyed about.
If you have any questions, please ask. Please note that I (nomis3613) can't access GT Planet at work. I will try to catch up with the thread at least once a day, but please be patient.
Test drivers please ensure that all tunes are tested in the most similar conditions possible. In extreme circumstances, you may be asked to re-test to check your laptime for a tune.
This is a Federation of International Tuners and Test-Drivers sanctioned event.
F.I.T.T. rules will be used for this event. Any event specific rules and all deadlines are listed above.

Don't you dare change them Simon..!!
I may have to guess tune the tranny though as my PS3 is dead (hoping to get it back up and running) and I had tuned the tranny for GVE, which was the last track you said Nomis.
