*******************************************************************************
Purpose:
This is to bring more attention to the hidden Autosport within GT known as Drag Racing. There has been very little done to add to this segment of Auto Racing within GT and if we have enough momentum with this maybe others will see why the Drag Racing community wishes to have "trees" and other modifications to the game to help add to our experience. Please share this contest with your friends and help to get the word out.

I'll be out yet again. Don't have the patience to tune that. I want to participate but I don't agree with 90% of the car choices. That's just me though. Don't stop on my account.

"agree with"? I like the unusual cars and having to tune out of your comfort zone... I think it's one of the best parts of this comp 👍

Thats the whole purpose to experience cars you normally don't tune or otherwise bother with. I'm confused as to why people are tired of seeing the same cars in every drag room but don't like the challenge presented of tuning the caers we have selected. With the exception of 1 I have never personally ran into ANY of these cars tuned for real in a legit room. I have over 900 cars of which close to 200 are tuned for drag. Hell most are 🤬 tunes on slow cars I thought would be faster but weren't and would get clowned for bringing them out but would spank half the noobs with those very cars. I got a little brown nissan thats a beast. I personally enjoy being different from the rest of the bunch. I don't care about being the fastest or most diverse or most respected tuner. I just want to have fun doing it. 👍

That was why I wanted you on Hydro. Time to move on I guess. You were one of the co-founders afterall even back when it was Eclipse.

Heres the thing I have the same F1 but mines is a different color because I bought it a while ago. The one in the OCD is blue mines is white. I just hope one one thinks I'm using another one because its a different color.

Don’t worry... it's the same car. The one in your OCD will probably be different from the colour in most other peoples OCD anyway 👍

Thank god for that, that escudo is by far the hardest thing I've tried to tune, think I was last in that

Agreed, if I hadn't stumbled across a few settings and fluked the shifting I would have been last 👍

Haha, sorry about that! Just always wanted to create a comp, and i never knew about this one!

No worries. I'm glad to see anyone taking an interest in drag and doing something for the community. 👍
