Oh I know you mean well, lol.
I may have sounded more concerned then I really am ^^
I'm not in that group anyway for one thing, and for another thing, all the req's having not been posted yet kinda makes it irrelevant anyway 'at this point'. I was kinda just babbling.

What I meant to say kinda, was if I was in a hypothetical competition with 3 other people, and it being all secretive like this, if one of them let slip out that he ran 'some track' at 'some time', my brain would go crazy, lol. I would tune and tune and tune and change everything down to the weight of the drivers helmet until I could hit or beat that time, lol. A little obsessive I know, but I would go nuts :)
I guess thats really what my point was.

I'm going to stop babbling again before I write another novel, lol.

I always used to tell my drivers to add 0.5 seconds per minute if they were asked for lap times :lol:
 
I might do some private testing of that Lexus. I have not been overly impressed with gt6's Lexus line. That nurb-track car is decent, but all the Lexus gt500's are kinda crappy. I remember the light green and white one in GT5 was a nice ride but they lost something in the translation to 6 I think. because of my experience with Lexus's this game hasn't been great, I believe that is the only gt300 in the game I never bought.
I will have to check it out.
The other 2 I have and are decent rides.
What about that Toyota race car? I forgot if thats a gt300 or just some 450pp race car. Anyway I liked that one also. Celica Weds Sport something or other.
My question(s) is, what made you guys settle on those 3? and is it final, or are you guys still thinking?

Those 3 are the closest in performance using mixed drivetrains, they are also premium base models so people can add a touch of individuality by painting them.

I know what you mean about the lexus line up being poor though, with the exception of the LFA there aren't really any fun/fast cars.
 
speaking of premium base models, but totally nothing to do with this discussion. . . .
I love to personalize my cars, so yeah, I will and have bought the base models for everything before buying the set ones.
but yesterday morning I made a 1.5 million dollar mistake, lol.
I wanted to test/tune some different rally cars for that seasonal. So I bought the only 2 rally cara you can paint. One of them is fine, subaru maybe, and got me the silver. But I decided to buy that Monster Ginormous base model one. awesome^^
The friggin seasonal wont let you use it. . . . It let you use the nonbase one. I was soooo p/o'd I turned the game off, lol.
So I hope noone else makes my mistake.

OK, back on track :)
I do like the line up, and think you guys did great setting this up so far. Looking forward to this very much :)

I too love personalizing my cars. You should check out my garage on page 3 I posted a couple of my forza 3 liveries. I would link to it but I'm on my phone.

I want NFS Level of livery I had a wicked decal set on my RX7 in NFS Underground with a color changing paint job. it was stellar. Took me like 5 hours of tweaking the vinyls to get it right.

Underground 2 was near perfect I think. I loved the exploration aspect and having to find the tuner shops. I wouldn't be surprised if I spent more hours painting and editing in forza 2 and 3 than racing. I had a very lucrative storefront.

I have a feeling a few of us are a little too eager to get back into the swing of things, myself included. The competition hasn't even started yet buddy. Lol. We don't know the rules as far as what parts are allowed. There's no use in finalizing a tune just yet.
 
I know this has been hit on in the past, but this time nothing has been stated on the subject.
abs and tc and the rest for that matter.
Do we have freedom to control this, or are certain settings banned, or how does this play out. testers obviously have to include those as well if applicable, but are they allowed?
Hows this going to work this time around?

All aids except ABS1 off, grip set to real 👍

(Standard procedure in FITT events unless otherwise stated, if this hasn't been mentioned in the OP then I'm sure it will be updated ASAP)

@DolHaus @Bowtie-muscle did put a statement that everyone should know the standardized FITT rules which covers the abs and tc
 
Oh I know. And I remember way back seeing abs=1 in a convo also.
But I was just called out on a technicality that isn't there, lol.
I'm not arguing, I'm defending the question, lol.

and I'm going to be watching the 'last edited ____' on that post, so no slipping anything by me, lol.
 
I actually tested once in a FITT event with ABS 0, it didn't go well, one of the tuners wasn't happy with the result as the cars behaved differently due to no ABS ( this was way back in GT5 ). Most of the tuners now are gone :( Never be a tester again :lol: to avoid drama. It's been long time, 3 years .. maybe more ...
 
We had optional ABS in my Drivetrain Challenge, it didn't really prove popular or productive. I'm sure there would be no objections to having it available in a challenge but it is unlikely to benefit anyone, ABS drivers would be locking up all over the place in non-ABS cars and giving slow laps, ABS cars would have the brakes set way too high to work effectively for non-ABS drivers again causing lock-ups and slow laps.
