FITT Heart and Seoul Challenge
Reviews
All tunes were given 10 laps of my best driving. Driven with ABS 1 only using DS3 and AT transmission. The first couple of laps were markers to see what your tune could do and then I just drove your tunes to the best of my ability to see what I could extract from them and see if they fitted my driving style. Thank you to all the tuners for providing me with hours of fun. Some great tunes were submitted for this event!
Giving out DC was near to impossible for this one. Lots of tunes were very close to each other in terms of lap time and how I felt when driving them. Well done to everyone involved for making this extremely difficult to score.

Comments – This tune felt like my own setup and xande’s, but on the other car in this event. It was neutral balance on the front with no understeer at all. It had kicks of oversteer which were easy to save and it was a fun tune all round. Great brakes, transmission worked as good as expected but the oversteer moments could happen without warning and was a little tricky to save at times. This tune could have been higher in DC if the rear was a little more settled on corner entry/exit but a good, fun tune to drive around. Well done.

Comments – A tune that likes to tell the driver where it wants to go, rather than the driver telling the car where to go. It works well when it on the racing lines but when you go off the racing line, it is a tricky car to drive at the limit. Under steer is present here, as well as over steer when you correct the under steer issues. This tune wasn’t one that I had full confidence in and it was not consistent enough for me personally. A few good points to finish off with though, transmission is good, rear traction is good when you are on the right lines and it can be quite quick when you keep it smooth and pointing the right direction.

Comments – Truly awesome tune, Transmission perfect, traction perfect, I was able to brake with full confidence and that meant that I could push this tune to the limits and it did not let me down. Super consistent and even cruising this tune just hit low 1.25s without breaking a sweat. Such a great tune and I am keeping the keys to this one.. You are becoming a Hami Protegi.. Improving with every event you enter. Well done buddy, great job indeed.

Comments – Not as consistent as Fordlaser’s tune but has a lot of grip, good traction and a nice transmission design. A smidge of under steer on a few corners but nothing that couldn’t be adapted to. Rear was planted like Fordlaser’s tune which meant the racing line had to be adhered to most of the time otherwise the under steer would catch me out in the corners. Still an enjoyable car to drive and because it challenged me to do better this car gets the thumbs up. Well done. Good tune.

Comments – Transmission was good, front rotation was excellent and responsive and the overall feel of the tune was pretty good. A few issues I had, when you push this tune at 100%, it can lose traction in high speed sections when you least expect it and it is nearly impossible to save. When you are in the groove and it is going well, this tune is really good to drive but it can become unpredictable at times making it a difficult to have full confidence in. I must say, one of the better Ridox tunes I have driven. Well done.

Comments – Easy to drive, a smidge of under steer if you go into a corner too hot. Less over steer than Ridox’s tune and is easy to save should you have an over steer moment. A nice tune but I would have liked more grip in the lower gears when pulling out of slow corners. This could have been done quite easily with a little transmission trickery but I see you have go with your previous technique of leaving all the gearing settings stock. It doesn’t hurt the tune drastically but it would have a positive effect on some aspects of your tune if you tinkered with it a little… Anyway. Good tune, very balanced and can be consistent if you have patience on the throttle out of slow corners.

Comments – Xande, there are times when I have driven your tunes and we have not seen eye to eye. This time I am happy to say that this is not the case. Your tune feels exactly like my own down, good grip on the rear, a little loose but that helps around the bends for me. Good front rotation and a nice transmission design. Mine was neutrally balanced and yours has a tiny amount of understeer at times (when I say tiny, I mean it is barely noticeable but it is there). I think that is the only difference between yours and mine. A very good tune and one that I got with like a duck to water. Great job Xande, really fun tune and incredibly consistent which is what I want in a car.

Comments – A carbon copy of
@fordlaser777 with a looser rear (slightly). A lot of fun to drive and awesome grip levels. Easy to save if things go wrong which they did on a couple of laps. This was a close one between you and fordlaser but I had a tad more confidence in fordlaser’s when driving at the limit. Awesome tune and you won’t be getting the keys back to this one I am afraid.. I will leave you some bus money to get home in. Great job Lionheart.

Comments – Tuned to be consistent and easy to drive. This is what it felt like when testing and I still enjoyed the challenge of it. It gave me the confidence to push but also to save it should I push too much. A lot of grip, a little loose on the rear but planted enough that I could pick my lines coming out of the corner to get best traction. Brakes were good, transmission worked well to minimise wheel spin and front rotation was also good. Not much to set this tune apart from some of those around it apart from the consistency from lap to lap and the neutral handling that enabled me to drive off the racing line with confidence. I look forward to seeing what other testers make of my own tune.

Comments – This tune is half expert, half alien. I managed 5 good laps and 5 really bad laps. When I achieved a good lap, I felt really proud that I was able to keep this thing pointing the same way and was able to drive smooth enough to make this tune feel magical. It has great brakes, good rotation, excellent infact! And a nice balance to it when you get it right. The issue I had personally was the rear was little light and a little loose for me and I was fighting the rear to ensure maximum grip levels. This tune needs a softly-softly approach to get it to go really fast but it is a really good tune that the quicker testers among us will really enjoy. Nice job.
