That is one quick little car indeed. Too bad it can't be used for the real event though as it's not classified as a GT3 car.

👍 There you go...

 

[Burned_Rubber]

Don't sell yourself short.. It's all about practice, practice and more practice. If a bumbling oaf like me can do it, so can you.

A bumbling oaf?? I've got a lot of practice to make it in to the oaf league

Results

Tuner 1 (Myself)

Overall average laptime = 7th 0.303 behind the winner.

Fastest lap time set by this tune overall 1.10.018

DC = 8.15 (8th Overall)

A very close contest with a lot of great tuners ending up very close to each other.

I am proud of this tune as it achieved the top lap time of all the tuners (somehow...) and for that reason, it ranks up there with my FITT Mini Cooper S '11.

That is one quick little car indeed. Too bad it can't be used for the real event though as it's not classified as a GT3 car.

I would have preferred to have used my Aston Martin DB9 or McLaren iPod GT3 car for this event, those cars feel easier to drive at times than actually GT3 cars. Maybe next time I can use them.

No more improvement on my part. I'm quite happy with the time i set with a car other than the Z4. But if someone forces my hand i'll have no other choice than to go with the Z4.

 

[Soren Jacquet]

If someone here has a steering wheel,please try any shaun tune,Im going to buy a Steering Wheel,but I love shaun tunes and i don't want to change of tuner,thanks

Hey I have tryede all most all of @shaunm80 tunes with a wheel and can tell you the all work perfect with a wheel.

Someone's been busy..

 

[Soren Jacquet]

Someone's been busy..

Yeeeeøp I have hehe but I have enjoy it.

 

[Soren Jacquet]

And it's give me more practice with the steering Wheel

 

[LordJCS]

Uh oh.. I decided to run the Z4 just for fun and blew my Audi time away. New time: 1.58.916. There's still room for improvement since i made a couple of mistakes..

Didn't really see me getting into the 58's but here i am.. Yikes..

New time. 1:58.368. Somehow i managed to find almost 6 tenths.

Good time in the Z4, I am at the 2 minute mark now but making to many mistakes or maybe just trying to hard to get anywhere near your time. I think I will put the Z4 in the garage now because this is my limit. 👍

The 2 min barrier can be breached with the right tune and the right ammount of courage. I have a couple of exits that need cleaning and i should be able to dip into the 57's..


How far away are you from the barrier? Are we talking about a few tenths?

I will say under a few tenths, because on my friends list I have a few players are in the 1:57's I can keep up with them until at the top of the mountain and then I just lose it from there, and that were my problem lies. It is my braking that lets me down I found, but I have never like this track for some reason. One good thing there are some new seasonal races tomorrow so I can test some @shaunm80 cars.

Ah, i see.. The top section requires gentle inputs and a bit of confidence. I happen to like that section and the following dipper section for one reason. That's where you can make most of the time for a fast lap. If you get a good exit through Forrest's elbow you can bring some extra speed onto Conrod straight. The Chase chicane is another corner where you either make it or break it.

Once you can link those sections together in a nice flow the rest of the lap should be a lot easier.

I remember.....it was a right Dog to control...👎

By the way a wicked time with the Z4....

 

[Badger66]

Anyone know what's up with Badger ? Nothing heard from him since weeks I wrote him a message at the PS3 but no reaction

I have no idea either. I hope that he's okay. I don't want to speculate on what is possibly going on with Badger as his end. Be good to see him back but I just hope that its nothing too serious that is keeping him from chatting on here.

@Badger66 - Let us know how your doing, if you don't have the time for GTPlanet anymore, thats cool, we all have lives outside of this forum, just worried about you at the moment.

Your friends over at Exeter GT Tuning.

Hi Guys.....i've just been looking for your tune Shaun for the M4 Coupe ( of which i cant wait to use) and came across these posts,,,,I am deeply touched and it made me very emotional...i nearly cried....yes Badgers can cry..lol...but thanks for your concern guys...but i am ok and i should of let you all know what was going on...you guys on here are Awesome...👍

You had us all a bit worried there. But you're here now and you seem to be ok and that's all that matters. I think it's safe to say that a couple of online races between us geezers here on this garage is way over due.

There hasn't been one since the last time you were around, it just didn't seem right to have one without you.


On another note.

New seasonals has popped up.


For the London event i'll be going for my Boss 302 i made for the shootout on Willow springs.( which i never entered)

The MR at Autumn ring is going to see my NSX-R '02. Then i might use the old (Ascari) seasonal tune for the KTM X-bow.


For the classic sports car event i'm drawing a blank. Feels like the Miura would be a safe bet, but i'm unsure.

Beginner Event at London : I used the BMW Z8 (Page 113/3348). This Car drives around Corners like a Kart

Intermediate Event : With the Lambo Miura very easy ( 500 PP is enough )

Expert Level : I used the McLaren MP4 to win but it was also slidy (to much Power for Sport Hard Tires )
