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

[Bowtie-muscle]

So when do I get something to drive then?

Very Soon.

 

[TurnLeft]

Since I never did this before, do we just post the best lap ?

NOt yet, let some reviews come in unless that is what you?

Do you mean how do you review?

I'm a tester for group 1 ( your gang ), the lap time that we will post is it the best lap time or the average lap time, if it's the average lap time which laps will we take for that? For the rest I'm ok 👍.

Just the best lap, and then give a DC score, check the op for DC scale and @DaBomm4 has the other challenges archived so you can check older ones and look at reviews to get a feel for how to do it.

 

[demonchilde]

got to give them time to take pics for the tunes and present them anonymously. all testing directions are in one of the first 4 OP posts.
Its pretty simple, just give them time to execute correctly and we will be off and running.

The tuning Deadline has now passed, put down your spanners and come out into the daylight ​

Myself and @Bowtie-muscle will need a few days to get everything prepared for the testers, we will let you know when the cars are ready so stay tuned 👍
We advise that if you are testing then please spend some of the interim period familiarising yourself with the track you will be testing on.

 

[Otaliema]

As.a reminder to the testers as this a blind challenege posting your testing results in the same order as posted by @DolHaus and @Bowtie-muscle will greatly help me by reducing the chances of putting the wrong time or DC score for the wrong tuner. Also please put the lap time first then the DC score as this is how the scoring sheet is set up.

 

[ImToLegitToQuit]

here is an example of my reviews from the ford challenge. The easiest way to read a review is a link to the tuners name (although we arent using names this time so just the car number this time) then your best lap time, your DC score, and your thoughts on the car.

@DolHaus 1:17.175 DC-7.8 I COULD WATCH THIS CAR SPIT FLAMES ALL DAY ! it made me smile every time i down shifted. It was not remarkable in a bad way or a good way. It was just a stable and easy drive with a very respectable time and you can't be mad at that. I am curious about why we had to setup the gears in reverse order though. "Fascinating" in spock voice

@Bowtie-muscle 1:17.386 DC-8 very safe car. not bad at all, and not in an understeery kind of way. it was safe in an inspiring confidence kind of way. I could have put a lap together in the 16's if i had more control over the wheelspin. a few clicks here and there and this would have been much faster for me. I do believe that in it's current form it is a better car for the masses though. nice job.

if you would like to use a big #3 to help separate your reviews just copy the code below. you just need to change the number next to the pound sign to whatever you need it to be.

The tuners will be listing like this I believe:

Tuner 1 - tune
Tuner 2 - tune
Tuner 3 - tune

and so on

[DolHaus]

Did anyone noticed the over-run glitch on the GT300 Impreza? When ever flames shoot out of the exhaust you can see them on the screen when using bumper cam

I'm home today, thanks to this wonderful winter weather, over 6 inches of snow and now rain and ice

Anyway, I will be trying to see if I can get some of these tunes posted. They will be edited so if they look slightly different than what you sent, that is why. Also, not sure how many of them I will be using the tuners notes, see how it goes.

There 11 tunes for The Duel.

I think it's more the ice that has you home the snow, meh unless you live someplace snow is not common then 6 inches is a big deal.
We got 4-9 inches two nights ago. started at midnight was done before I got up at 6. Gonan be gone today though, suppose to be 50F

And great job with the challenge. you too @DolHaus was great fun tuning the car now to see how it goes for testing.
