FITT - Federation of International Tuners and Test-Drivers

[shaunm80]

Was thinking deep forest or trial Mountian with about 500pp all FR sport cars M3, RX-7/8 and Shelby.
Forward and reverse on the track.

I am definitely interested... I like the 500PP bracket range..

Hello GTPers and FITT members

A quick hello and background on who I am, and how much I watched the planet. I am @krenkme daughter (makes some of you old school FITT members feel really old I'm sure), and now I am old enough to have an account here on GTP 👍

I was/am my dads test driver, and help design some of the fit logos. (Princess Kate lol)

I want to contribute when I can, and actually learn from all you great people, not just dad When I am not doing homework, or karate I will be here (if dad allows...he made me say that )

Just a quick thank you to @Onboy123, @DigitalBaka, @XDesperado67, @CyKosis1973, @praiano63, @NEWDRIVER2, and @krenkme, and anyone else that visited Clueless tunes or the Outlaws over the years. I learned a lot from all of you and I am greatly thankful. See you all very soon

WELCOME!!!!!! always great to see new young blood in the racing world 👍 you did a great job with the images for FITT. With your dad's blessing would like it very much to see you in the next challenge as tuner or tester 👍

Welcome to the planet!

Thanks, now it's official

That's the plan. No tuning for me tho. I'm worse the the old man

 

[Otaliema]

He isn't that bad at tuning, he is just aggressive with his driving, which means if you've been testing for him you're down right crazy (that's a good thing btw after all Sanity is madness put to good use)

Edit; corrected double quote friggin touch screen computer

 

[krenkme]

Yes welcome Kate... Sorry hard to call you "...." We need to talk but treat her well, love/hate my tunes they were made for me and her and the only reason I tune. Welcome

 

[Bowtie-muscle]

Nothing wrong with your tunes at all, you always seem to do better than you expect.

Every one had better treat her well, there has been enough craziness around here lately, last thing we need is for you to go postal. She will be just fine, or I will get your back and we can handle it.

I have an idea for a FITT Challenge. FITT Old and New. Tuners pick a pair from a pre-determined list of vehicles like, Mini Cooper '98 and the Mini Cooper '11 or the Fiat 500 1965 and the Fiat 500 2008. You tune both cars and we average lap times between them. Could be fun.

Nice idea. How about classic and modern muscle cars?

Exactly. I was playing with FF drive hatch type cars in one group and performance cars in another, like; Corvette Stingray, Camaro, Charger, Challenger and even old and new Ferrari, Mercedes and BMW.

Just for laughs, could you think about adding the two GTOs, '64 and '04? Not sure how competitive they would be but another pair. Sounds like a very interesting idea.

@Motor City Hami from testing I've been doing with @Bowtie-muscle For a 500ish FR show down, 500 pp on the American muscle class will leave most of the cars nearly stock, 525 would give some good wiggle room on them.
Ohh don't forget the Ford GT40 '66 and Ford GT '02 I think it is.

Thats 3 million worth of credits right there.. I would agree it is worth it but for testers who might not own that car, it could be quite tricky.

Very true forgot about the high cost of the Mark I, been so long senice I bought it.
And @Motor City Hami i may be way off base on the pp range for the cars if I am disregard my head is all clouded up from a cold right now.
Good to see you back here sir.

 

[DaBomm4]

From looking back at the American Classic challenge and some tuning I have been doing lately, the classics would be fine from 500-525 but the moderns would be mostly stock, or detuned for cars like the Corvette Stingray '14 that starts at 526pp, Boss 302 '13 at 501pp and Shelby GT500 '13 at 558. The idea sounds great though!

Oh, and the SRT Charger is 2011 instead of 2008.

 

[Motor City Hami]

Updated. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...and-test-drivers.291311/page-50#post-10469682

The GT40 is super expensive and would kill everything else in the class so it's out.

 

[Lionheart2113]

What if we sort of combine the 2 ideas? Tuners are paired up (either by choice/host/draw) then between the 2 tuners they decide what car(s) and 1 tunes the old and the other tunes the new. Then their times are added or averaged to determine winners. I only say this because I would like to tune for the next event, but you guys know it takes me forever with a single tune, a double tune would be out of my reach. It would also help with the number of cars needed by the testers over the course of the challenge.

 

[xande1959]

an idea emerged, testers should choose cars:idea:

 

[Otaliema]

That's an interesting idea how would it work for picking? One of the hardest things to do as a planner is keep the cars level in a challenge so they all get a fair shot.
Maybe a list of say five to ten cars and testers have at it for a few days stock settings and pick the two or three they like the best and than the top two or three cars are what get tuned?

 

[Motor City Hami]

Not sure if I want to do the muscle cars in this challenge since we did muscle cars early on in FITT. And I may eliminate the Ford Focus from the hatch backs since we already spent time with it in the Ford Focus Challenge.

This sounds like a fantastic challenge. Depending on time line I may or may not be able to participate.
For a third class if you want to scrap the American Muscle maybe "family movers" vans or the such.
My wife and I are buying a house, we are under contract for one and have the closing at the end of March.
