FITT-Hot Hatch Tuning Challenge - Final Results are in!

[DaBomm4]

Yeah, I know how that goes. I had a test on the 15th and 29th that I was studying for, and Easter away from PS3, that is why I was a maybe for tuning any cars. Yesterday was completely open for me so I managed to test the Spec MiTo. I think @Otaliema has enough testing to do to have the event start in about a week or later which would allow for most final exams. 👍

 

[Otaliema]

@shaunm80 @DaBomm4 Yeah I can safely say it will be a week at least to get the next challenge started. Due to the type of challenge the time frame will be longer for tuning and testing. I'll get a post up in the main FITT thread here shortly asking about finals see if I can figure a good start date.

Drop a wheel in the grass like that & penalties apply

No reset when you do this in 3D

Nothing that should be of concern anymore, a mod came and cleaned up a mess.

Yeah, thought so. Weird and creepy, it's as if Arnold Schwartzenegger's character, an eraser, did the job and "his" existence been erased without a trace.lol

Did we win?

Did we win?

For now

For now

I think I missed most of the fireworks, I went to sleep and a couple of pages had disappeared when I woke up. I'm guessing it went down in the usual ridiculous fashion these things always seem to.

 

[Bowtie-muscle]

Yes, although was calmer toward the end. I went to bed and was shocked to see it all erased. Not really "must read" anyway.

So I know this is a little late. But thanks again to all the tuners and testers and @Bowtie-muscle for running a great shootout
I've revisited my VW Golf GTi tune and feel I've been able to improve it based on what I learned from the other tunes in this shootout and am happy that I no longer feel so intimidated tuning and FF. There are so many good ones that no longer are just collecting dust in my garage/stockyard . I'm pumped for the next shootout @Otaliema is planning so that I can wrap my brains around some 4WD tuning 👍👍

 

[Bowtie-muscle]

@backnfourth Your GTi was not that far off to begin with. Thank you for partaking in the shootout.👍

 

[krenkme]

Great shootout @Bowtie-muscle 👍

Amazed that my ninja entry did so well. Very pleased with my drivers choice award. That's why I enter these shootouts. Great job everyone

And of course a big THANK YOU to all that took part, mainly testers and Bowtie amazing job!

Thank you Sir! For being a participant:tup:

 

[Woodski_427]

I'm bit late but good work everyone; well done to the winners, and another 'good job' to @Bowtie-muscle for hosting 👍.

I'm glad I didn't humiliate myself with my first foray into the challenge - the main flaw in my car is what I knew about, no other big faults were found by the testers, and the times were not too far off. A great learning experience.

I've tried a few of the Hot Hatch cars, and there are some nice tunes that would make good 450pp racers I think (would probably need testing online though).

Well bugger me with a broomstick, I actually won something I have been away for a while and totally forgot about this!

Big big thank you to the testers who spend what must be hours of their own time testing and reporting back - really appreciate the effort guys

Thank you @Bowtie-muscle for running a great challenge, and to FITT for making this the only friendly tuning forum on the planet
