World Classic Car Tuning Challenge
The Challenge:
Tune a classic (pre-1977) car for the Eiger Nordwand Short course.
The Rules:
These rules are intended to give the most authentic classic car look and feel, while giving the tuners as much room to tune as possible.
Production Street Car - No Race, Rally, Tuner, or Concept cars.
Years – 1976 and earlier
Performance Points - 386PP
Tires - Comfort Soft
Power Limiter - 5% Maximum
Ballast - 25kg Maximum (Be careful with weight reduction!) *For cars under 900kg ballast may be added to increase weight to 900kg max, but if over 25kg it must position so the original balance doesn't change more than 2%. So 60/40 can be 58/42.*
Drivetrain Upgrades - None (authentic driving experience)
Transmission – Close Ratio is allowed. Adjustable is allowed but only the final ratio may be changed. Individual gears and top speed adjustment must not be changed. If you're unsure do a reset, then adjust the final.
Exhaust - Stock or Sport (keep that titanium off my classic car!)
Intake - Any
Engine Upgrades - Any
Turbo/Supercharger - Any
Weight Reduction - Allowed
Chassis Reinforcement - Allowed
Aero – None (authentic appearance)
Wheels - Stock (authentic appearance)
Ride Height - No lower than -10 (authentic appearance)
Mode - Offline Practice
Tire Wear - No
Aids - Only ABS
Cars must have their oil changed and be broken in.
Cars with over 50,000 miles must have their engines rebuilt.
No Lotus Europa and no Lancia Stratos (they don’t qualify anyway but don’t try to sneak them in by wearing out the engines.)
1 car/tune per tuner.
10 Tuners Maximum.
You will notice that it won’t be possible to tune muscle cars down to 380PP using these rules. If there is enough interest I’ll host a Classic Muscle Car Challenge when this one is over.
The Track:
Eiger Nordwand Short Track
The Deadlines:
Tunes must be posted and shared no later than 8/5
Test results must be posted no later than 8/12.
No tester results will count unless he/she has posted results for all tunes.
Scoring:
Best Lap Time combined with Tester Drivability Rating.
Low score wins. 1 point for fastest time by a tester, down to 10 points for slowest time.
Tuner Rules:
Your full tune must be posted here, or a link to your full tune.
No changes are allowed after your tune is posted.
Tuners must host their car on share.
Tuners must FR all testers. If a tuner does not FR all testers that tuner may be disqualified.
Tester Rules:
Testers should be comfortable on comforts.
If you normally drive on race soft tires you may not be able to fairly evaluate cars on comfort tires.
Testers must have enough free slots in their friend list for all the tuners.
Cars must be driven as-is, including brake balance.
Testers must complete enough laps to be sure they got a good lap with each car. At 15 minutes per car minimum by the time you are done, be prepared to invest around 3 hours of time testing.
No e-brake turns.
Testers will post all their results in one post so I can link to the results in the op. You don't have to post all results at the same time but if when you add results just edit your results post.
Testers will post their best lap time for each car and then rate the car’s drivability on a scale of 1-5. 1 being perfect. 5 being undrivable, literally impossible to complete a lap. Be realistic. Be careful about giving 1 or 5 unless the car truly deserves it.
Tuners:
1 - NEWDRIVER2 - Skyline 2000GT-R
2 - MrMelancholy15 - Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R
3 - Theo777/zigatan - Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale
4 - krenkme - Samba Bus

Haven't played much with anything from the older set of cars in GT5; this is as good an excuse as any. 👍
I wanted to use it for the Monaco event but I just couldn't get it to put the axe down and be calm.
