FITT: Blind Tuning Challenge! Congrats to Bowtie-muscle & Otaliema! Tuners Revealed!!

[Bowtie-muscle]

Thank you very much for testing and for the reviews, there are some fantastic times in there as always

I've just returned from the wilderness and I'm more than a little foggy headed (-5 C last night in a wet tent = 1hr of sleep and icicles in my hair ), I'm trying to work out what stage we're at but I'm sue @Bowtie-muscle will give me a prod if/when I need to do something

Hot shower and a nap is what I recommend. I am holding down the fort, few hours left then you may get prodded.

 

[Otaliema]

I've been put on kitchen duty. I foolishly asked the kids what they wanted for dinner. Pancakes was the answer. My fiancé heard that and whipped up a batch that will make around 40-50 pancakes..


Not sure if she loves me or is punishing me for something..

Answer Yes.
That's a lot of pancakes....

 

[LordJCS]

Answer Yes.
That's a lot of pancakes....

Holy sweet mother of all that is holy.. It feels like i've tackled Mt Rushmore of pancakes... I don't wanna see any more for at least 6 months..


Yikes!!

Needed to find the right line to get this car to turn on entry and exit. Found it tho 👍

Tuner 2 IS350
Time: 0:58.670
DC Score: 7.5
Point and shoot with this car. Too soon on gas on exit, and around you go. Needed to let it roll longer then others

Tuner 3 BRZ
Time: 0:58.550
DC Score: 7.5
Could not get on gas too soon. Just like Tune #2 Had to let it roll longer then others

Tuner 4 IS350
Time: 0:57.652
DC Score: 9.5
Really liked the rear grip on this car. Enter turns high, hit the apex, and floor it out. Good car 👍


Tuner 5 BRZ
Time: 0:57.511
DC Score: 9.5
Perfect car for this track. Gearing was good, as was the handling. Only a little loose on exit, but that just may be the driver and not the tune

Tuner 6 BRZ
Time: 0:58.231
DC Score: 8.0
Had a small problem rotating this car , it wanted to go fast, but I just couldn't


Tuner 7 IS350
Time: 0:58.921
DC Score: 7.0
A good solid car, but hard to hold my lines in all corners. A better driver could make a better time for sure


Great job to all tuners I had alot of FUN driving these amazing machines around the track, and I hope I can get better in times, and reviews in future events. Thanks

[Bowtie-muscle]

It is now 6p.m. EST, and I am now officially closing the Challenge.

Awaiting the results for the GT300 Class as soon as @Otaliema as the opertunnity to upload the times/DC from @Little_krenk .

A big hearty thank you goes out to everyone in volved in this Challenge, with special thanks to @DolHaus for co-hosting and @Otaliema for taking care of the scoring! 👍

I never thought about @Thorin Cain as the mystery tuner , I hope it's not him though or I'll never hear the end of it .

 

[DaBomm4]

I never thought about @Thorin Cain as the mystery tuner , I hope it's not him though or I'll never hear the end of it .

As I was thinking of possible tuners I thought about COTM and seasonals. I have a few other guesses but he seems to fit the best in my opinion.

You know it could well be, he's very active in tuning plus the two thread leaders know him . I'll be happy for you if it is him, but he'll be walking on thin ice with me , it would be great though to have him on board .

 

[Otaliema]

I'll estamat that I can load the scores in about 2 -2 1/2 hours time maybe sooner but not likely.

7/12 ........... Good guessing but @Thorin Cain it is not.

On another note, the idiot in charge had all the guesses on a piece of paper with the post #s, and threw the paper out. now I have to hunt them all down again.

Hey, ummmmm, I didn't test the tunes, but I may know who the mistery tuner is, and what tune it was.... If that helps

couldn't hold back any longer. It was killing me lol

^^^ ha ha

No guessing from you, but someone already guessed the Mystery/Unknown Tuner Correctly, just not the correct tune.

 

[Bowtie-muscle]

just when I thought things were getting better with this computer

 

[Bowtie-muscle]

Holy Triple Posts Batman

The tune post has been updated with names revealed, for the sake of some fun, I did not include @DaBomm4 guesses.
Have to leave something for everyone to talk about.

 

[Otaliema]

@Bowtie-muscle @DolHaus times for @Little_krenk input. ready anytime for official winners announcement.

 

[Bowtie-muscle]

I will allow @DolHaus to announce the GT300 Time Attack Class.

And I will be updating the results post. Likely in the morning.

 

[Bowtie-muscle]

Ugh!

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

My tune has been revealed, congrats to @DolHaus for correctly guessing my tune and @DaBomm4 as well 👍 I left a big clue by keeping stock gearbox, and the car actually based on a replica ( some changes were made - alternate damper setup that was not used, lower LSD preload, and few others ) that I have posted last year : Spoon Sport/Type One Garage S2000 AP2. I thought if anyone have driven that replica would know straight away
