FITT M Power Challenge - Mystery Solved - Congratulations to the Winners

[shaunm80]

We are just waiting on the last few testers now. Once all the results we are expecting to receive have been submitted, the score sheets will be updated, checked by the hosts and the final results published. This will happen monday/tuesday this coming week. It is still close in terms of DC who will finish where so watch out, there may be some movement in the next few days.

 

[Otaliema]

We will see what happens to the standings once the new times are loaded. There will be movement it's just a question of where and how much.

 

[Voodoovaj]

I'm thinking of giving a post competition test drive after this is all said and done. I also want to repost my tune based on the feedback to see how everyone progresses with it.

Just as a matter of interest how many of you controller operators have a right thumb that constantly aches from too much gaming ?

Nope. Been there done that. Cut back, several years ago.

I find if driving a seriously understeering car, I'll get a triangle print in my left thumb from the d-pad!

I'll not be guessing this time around, was woeful last time!

Will take a guess at the mystery tester being @krenkme , or @Little_krenk .

 

[shaunm80]

The mystery tester is still a mystery tester at this point

 

[Otaliema]

Just as a matter of interest how many of you controller operators have a right thumb that constantly aches from too much gaming ?

Used too fifteen years ago but after three decades of gaming they are used to it.

Use the sticks, much less strain on the thumbs 👍

 

[macdog54]

Thanks for the replies, I'm in the early 60's and GT1 was my first game and racing games are what I generally play, I'll just have to harden up and put up with the constant soreness . 👍

 

[coryclifford]

Two ways to address hand pains. Beer and/or a steering wheel! Though when I got a wheel my arms were tired and sore for a couple days. I drank more beers.

 

[MrGrado]

Just as a matter of interest how many of you controller operators have a right thumb that constantly aches from too much gaming ?

I get sore wrists if I play too long and hold the controller too tight.

I have really enjoyed testing those tunes ... could be fun with a FITT test for the VW samba bus

 

[ALB123]

How many testers are left who haven't submitted times/scores/comments? I've never done this before...I'm anxious to see who made which tunes.

Just about done, should be finished up once times and DC get added. Then the guessing game begins.

This is going to be intersting. Looks like there's going to be some position shuffling.

Would like to thank all you Tuners for sharing your tunes with us.

Thank you for the testing. Solid times as always. Looks like you enjoyed my car...maybe...maybe not. Time will tell.

I do use the beer option quite regularly, and I've had a wheel for four years or so but just don't have the space where I am.

As mentioned previously use the sticks helps a lot with thumb pain.
Or get a folding table for the wheel.

As you can see I got some trigger grips and pad grips to aid in use my ds3. Make it easier use.

 

[coryclifford]

I have a DS3 with so much use that the little nubs on the sticks are almost gone. I used to get a calice on my palms below my ring finger from squeezing so much. Now with the wheel I grind off skin from my hands. And wear holes through my socks.

It's tough being unemployed and playing GT6 all day long.

Would like to thank all you Tuners for sharing your tunes with us.

Thank you for testing and writing reviews at this very hot temperatures . well done 👍

 

[Bowtie-muscle]

All is done now but the crying, the thrill of victory and the agany of defeat. Once I looking over the official results, I will be updated my Results post with finishing podiums and final thoughts. Congrats to all who took part in tuning and testing for making this a fun challenge for me to be a part of.

 

[shaunm80]

Whilst @Bowtie-muscle e is checking things and confirming final results, I would just like to say thank you to all the tuners who submitted some sensational tunes. I thoroughly enjoyed testing them all. Also, to all the testers, so many of you to thank and say well done on doing a great job in testing. I hope that you all enjoyed this element as much as me.

As it was my first foray into the hosting world, I have learnt a few things along the way, which will help me in the future when I fly solo and run my own event. You have all be supportive in this event and that made this event even sweeter for me. Thank you all. I appreciate all the effort that tuners and testers put in throughout.
