FITT BTCC Championship - !! Driver Spot Available !!

If I'm not mistaken I think miata13b signed up as a tuner for nail-27. I think we have 13 tuners now. Sorry if I'm wrong on this.
Nail wanted me as a tuner. I said if it was alright for me to drive and tune I would tune for him. If not then I am just driving.

I think it would be better just have me deive, but I am up for a challenge :-)

Put me down to tune with ds3 will tune for wheel when necessary bro. @CyKosis1973.
 
I know @flip55 uses a ds3. I will take him as a tuner as long as he is still committed to the competition.

We have been racing together for quite a bit of time. Will be interesting on our two different approaches to tuning. It will be very educational for both of us.
 
Howdy all,a little late to the party.If you still have room for a driver,sign me up please.Canadian east coast,G27 and a fairly flexible schedule.Should be lots of fun.

I can only squeeze you in if someone drops out, Morf. Not heard anything from @NEWDRIVER2 for a little while, if he's not able to join us, then I'd have to ask @Lewis_Hamilton_ to switch from driving to tuning, so you could slot in as a driver. Keep watching the thread 👍

I suspect we can work together, Sir :mischievous:

I've made a couple of more updates to post #2. Can the remaining drivers team up with the remaining tuners? I have to drive to the airport now, I'll check in when I can...

Hi @CyKosis1973 and All

I'm in my friend and if @morfastmadboy want to pair with me I will be more than happy or if any one want to pair with me using my BMW it's okay also . Sorry for my late replaying to the thread .

I primarily tune with wheel, but can tune with either wheel or DS3. Please list me as wheel which makes for a good match with @Ronald6
 
@krenkme as my car chief? I might as well buy the new controller now huh?:P This is going to be fun. I'm looking forward to working with and seeing how someone else goes about tuning step by step. Besides the atmosphere and racing against you guys, I think that will be a huge benefit to my tuning ability...or lack of!:dopey:
@CyKosis1973 are we choosing cars or are you dealing them out by luck of the draw?
 
If you want your package to make it to its destination unharmed, don't send it UPS.

Don't say that, I've just sent something to Holland today via UPS. Actually doesn't matter, it's being replaced anyway, smash it all you like.

Anybody fancy running some practice laps online tonight? Looking to break the Ford and VW into the 1:33's at Brands Hatch GP, took them both for a quick spin last night and was into the low 1:34's after a couple of warm up laps.
 
I take it that the cars next to the drivers/tuners are the cars we have been given.

I'm happy with that. For the first time in this Gran Turismo I will be driving a Civic. Can't wait.

@daboom4 if that room is up in about 3 hours I'll join in. Still at work

I do not believe it will be open that late, I will probably have a few more coming up that I will announce though.

Edit: If you mean post #3, I do not think it is correct on that part yet.

@Lionheart2113. Step by step? Throw some numbers at it, eat some cake, round numbers off, and hope for the best. Is there a different way? :dopey:

All joking aside, I'll be able to mess with some cars in the next few days and send you the specs for a base to get started (probably by Monday). Glad to have you as a teammate 👍

I do not believe that the list in post 3 is in any relation to the list in post 2 yet, if you want to prepare a car, I would suggest all of them just incase. When @CyKosis1973 gets back on to update us on things, he can correct me if I am wrong though.

Either way, I have a Civic and a BMW ready ;) The BMW is good for easy low 1:34s at Brands Hatch GP without body rigidity ( offline ) - 1st lap test, the real life qualifying record there is 1:31.214, held by Jason Plato on MG6 in 2013. I think without flat floor, the BMW could at least get close, the BMW 125i M Sport did 1:31.709 in 2013.

A better run with more laps / better driver on the BMW will have potential for mid 1:33s or even 1:32s maybe in the hands of Lewis Hamilton :P

Will post the BMW soon on Clueless Garage and mine :)

Sounds like a plan. I'll be on Saturday afternoon (my time) and will post here when I get on for all/others who are interested in some more track time and some friendly paint swapping!
 
Will the car selection be decided by each team or by the host ? I'm thinking of using the BMW if @DaBomm4 more comfortable with FR car. I'm quite like the result of 1st test session, using my replica build as a base ( unreleased finished replica ), the car drives well without too demanding to the driver. It has real life based suspension + alignment, weight distribution and transmission ratios, and drives like BTCC car with more/massive grip limit ( lateral G's ) :P
