Ok, I am pretty confident that I have done all my homework, research and brain numbing decision making for the next challenge. This is where I'm heading but won't give all details. Instead of 4 classes, I'm going with 3: Spec(1 car), Hot Hatch(18 cars, all FF), Pro-Spec(1 car). Decided to remove AWD class and save those for another challenge where they can compete against the JDM AWD. Picked Scirocco Base Model alone, Megane can be used in a MR challenge, plus Scirocco has something that made me say, "Now that will make things interesting". Classes will all be "Open to All", those tuners who are on the "Pro" level can decide if they want to enter lower Spec(you know who you are). First two classes will have a ride height restriction but not crazy, each class will vary slightly with rules. IF everyone likes this I will be ready to launch Weds night, April 9 - giving 10 days to tune, 20th an off day and testing begin on 21st, ending on the 30th. Tell me your thoughts and whether or not it's a go. Or ask questions:)

Scirocco GT24 '08 base model but this defies anyone choose a circuit but not locked choose well his virtues, front tire spends much more than any other car (FF) and but a good challenge for everyone.:cheers:👍:gtpflag:

Welcome to GT Planet :gtpflag:

You can start a thread with your own garage title & tunes from the main tuning page :)

I think we can call @DigitalBaka a demi god around here :bowdown:

So with testing underway for the Hot hatch challenge, maybe time to start thinking about the next challenge?
We have done a couple FR and now a FF challenge what about a 4wd or MR challenge?
I had an idea for a multipule track challange.
Just tossing this out;
4WD challange.
One tune two tracks. One smooth track one bumpy track.
upto ???PP the only allowed change for the tune is the Final gear to allow adjustment to the tracks for top speed.

Ohh classic fight, :)
Bathurst and spa..... *twitch* Two of my most loved to hate tracks.

I was looking over the tracks and the really bumpy onces are long Sarth and Nur,
How about one fast one technical I mean techincal like Côte d' Azur or and Motegi East or Fugi GT

Yeah that was my afterthought as well, they're both really long which would be hard on the testers.

Could keep it classic and use deep forest and High speed ring?
 
@DolHaus that was my thought. Need to try and keep the distance to around 5km or less per track. combined of 9km ish.
Classic car battle with old school GT tracks... that could be fun.

My idea behind this is a A-spec useable tune so something is good-great on both tracks but not perfect for either. Well balanced tune. That's why I was thinking a fast track and a very twisty track, need slightly different tunes for max speed on each track, who can compromise the best?

No love for Bathurst :(

What about 2 Japanese tracks?
Tsukuba & Fuji or
One wet, one dry?

Sounds really good, prevents the cars from becoming too track specific and adds a tactical element.

was thinking about that, would need some opinions on the wet track I normally don't race wet so I don't know if it's just different driving or different tune for wet.
And was thinking about two Japanese tracks would want to use some less used tracks from Japan tho.

May I suggest 500PP AWD road cars on shorter tracks like Tsukuba, Rome, or Cape Ring Inside :)
Click to expand...

500PP was about the range I was thinking for the middle class. I might do a HP/weight class rather than PP and allow flat floors see what that does ;)

A wet specific tune would be set up softer than for the dry allowing the car to roll more and soak up what grip was available. It would make things interesting if combined with a dry track.
Being 2 Japanese cars, I think 2 Japanese tracks would be appropriate.
 
I agree with Ridox on Rome. And how about Nurb GT/? or Tokyo for the longer track?

Perhaps Eiger K (gravel)? Rubs hands in anticipation.

mmmmmm.... rally tune :D:D:D. Same car and specs on 3 tracks. The tune stays the same for technical/high speed tarmac tracks with exception of final gear adjustment. 2nd tune for rally track. That'd be good fun:cool:
 
Seeing as how I haven't had the GT6 time I wanted, and haven't done much tuning, I've been contemplating making a tuner challenge myself. (except for me it wouldn't be a tuning challenge, but a testing challenge)
It would be longer-term, (depending on entries and how long re-submissions take, I'd guesstimate 2-3 months) with a few new ideas maybe.
Also, only myself testing means it won't really interfere with any other FITT events.

1. Identical cars (or a group of hand-selected cars spec'd to compete equally)
2. Identical specs (except lsd, gears, and suspension) ((meaning no tuner build, just the tune)
3. 3 "rounds" for each car/tuner - Each tuner submits a tune, (lsd, gears, and suspension only), (Full car specs/build would be predetermined.),
4. Only one tester (in this case, me), The tester drives each car, gives feedback to the tuner, they tweak it, and resubmit it. Tester drives it a second time, give feedback, they tweak it again and make a final submission.

Currently very interested in using some American muscle at Willow Springs. (of course big and little, y'all know how I roll)

Any thoughts? Good idea, bad idea?

I was originally thinking about that. With what @Ronald6 said about the tune, one tune the tracks only the final gear can be adjusted. With added tweak of consistency being added into the mix. The time difference between fat lap and average lap minus half the driver choice score.
Eg car x fastest lap is 1.36.865 average lap is 1.40.565 drivers choice is 6.
Scored fastest lap time is 1.39.565
While car y fastest lap is 1.38.656 average lap is 1.39.328 drivers choice is 8
Scored fastest lap is 1.35.328.

Would make things a little harder on the testers as they would need to record 5 laps after learning the tune for consistently testing.

But I think the consistently part and the the tracks part would better set in different challenge as that would mean 20+ laps in each car.

@CSLACR I like that idea, it would be a good continuous running challenge along side the regular challenges that FITT runs
 
I like the idea of a single tune on multiple tracks especially the road/rally trade-off. Two tracks maybe better for everyone's sanity though :lol:. It still has to be practical to test maybe 15 cars.

London, Madrid would also be good options for short track perhaps? What is the short Matterhorn track like? I seem to recall it is not so technical. Eiger would be the best for a rally track.

If you mean Matterhorn Dristelen, it's not very technical at all but it's still a giant pain in the 🤬. They look nice but I don't like them very much.

I would not be opposed to revisiting @Motor City Hami's rally/street event. The only downside I see is that it's potentially a lot of expensive cars to buy. Other than that we could change the track and possibly use the same car combos. Perhaps we plan that as the next next one and give people a heads up to stockpile some credits for the rally cars? In the meantime, what about something like 90s+ V8 FRs @ Bathurst? That should bring a good crowd on both sides and be relatively inexpensive. Ford, Chevy, Holden, TVR sounds like a good time.

@CSLACR I like the idea. Sounds like it could definitely work running along with other events. Go for it! Do you already have a build in mind?
 
@DigitalBaka :
For clarity: would you prefer to tune one car for rally/street or two cars?
If we use one street car for both the cost should be minimal. If we tune a rally car and a street car the costs will be insert rocket noise here.

@CSLACR : 👍

I was thinking two cars as we did last time but your point is well made. Don't know what the tunes might look like since rally and tarmac are so different. :scared:

That was my idea street car on both tarmac and dirt/wet track one fast one technical. Could make it a bit easier and do a technical short tarmac and a high speed dirt track :lol: It would be a battle of compermise, who can find the best set up that works well on dirt and tarmac. It ws suggested to make it a STI vs Evo battle. The 90's versions of the cars take well to softer set ups so would be eaiser to tune them and more fun to drive them.

All the matter horn tracks are annoying. But they might just work for the rally/tarmac trade off and they are baiscly tarmaced rally tracks but so is eiger and people like eiger more than matterhorn's
