@Motor City Hami maybe at Deep Forest and SSR5 club men Both are good at the PP ranges and pose different challenges to the cars.

When do you think you'll be firing up, @Motor City Hami ?
As for suggestions, what about a Brands Hatch double-whammy? Indy for lower PP class, GP for higher PP class?
Could make it 80's as an alternative too.

Maybe start this week? I have been testing for over-dogs and under dogs with pretty basic tunes. The Ferrari 599 is just a frustrating car. It's beautiful but does not meet the quality of drive of the other Ferrari in the game. Probably going to substitute the California. The California is a great handling car but might lack a little power. So if the 365 GTB4 '71 is a bit of an over-dog, then they might equal out?
Still thinking a bit about the tracks.

Agree with the Ferrari thinking. Seems like most pairs have a shining star, and a not so shiney partner. The rules package on power limiter, areo, etc. and track choice will probably be huge in the performance class. Time line.....ready when you are. Its your sand box.

@Motor City Hami - I would suggest Brands Hatch for the Front Drive Hatch Backs. Any variation of the track would suit really. The 80's version would be good as that hasn't been used in a FITT competition before.

Suzuka east is a good test for a FF. And what about Nurburgring GP/D (the shorter one) for the performance class.

It would be nice to use tracks we haven't run before 👍

I have no ideaNow why would you assume that?It did cross my mind but i just like the technicality of the first turn down the hill. thats all.
It's certainly one helluva corner and, of the top of my head, is only matched by the blind left hander over the crest named Skyline at Bathurst. It's almost a mirror effect.

I have a feeling I would need to make some amendments to my previous Mini for it to be as hot hatch as it should be. The tyre down grade will require some rebalancing and it also has a few horses less which would need a new speedy transmission. I will have to see how the old girl holds up in some testing before I base my track preference on it.I have no idea

It's a great corner to attack but watch out for when the suspension fully loads at the bottom of the hill. If you've got any sort of opposite lock happening, you better be ready or you'll get spat over the sandtrap & in the wall in a flash.
To think the F1 drivers of the 70's & earlier used to race into there at warp speed when the corner was a lot closer to the wall...

I've always found oversteer preferential to understeer round there, dealing with understeer kills your speed unless you get the entry perfect whereas an oversteering car will allow you to hold more speed and adjust your line to get a better exit. I've tried drifting it and its definitely possible but generally more by luck rather than judgementIt's a great corner to attack but watch out for when the suspension fully loads at the bottom of the hill.

The current event finished yesterday, I believe a new one is being constructed as we speak.
Updates on progress and ideas for contests are usually posted here and the events will be posted in the Tuning forum (keep an eye out for threads with FITT or Shoot out in the title)
Entry is available to everyone as both tuners and test drivers 👍

@Motor City Hami, you missed the quick seasonal challenge featuring Circuito de Madrid, but the list isn't as long as I thought it would be.
Still looking like a great challenge to battle in though. Also, good, interesting choice of tracks to choose from, was a hard decision.
I understand your decision, but I was kind of looking forward to the challenge of the Prius'.

I wouldn't call it out. Just out for now. Still comparing cars a bit.

Fast cars on mt panorama are great, one of my favorite tracks, but I hated FF there, I think it was in a seasonal last year. But the 600pp seasonal there was awesome.
