Exactly, that way you can ensure you are the fastest on the track.

Cheating without cheating.. Hmm. I may have to put something in the rules about this..
Oh hang on. "No Other parts allowed"
I am afraid that there will be no pace cars setting the pace for testing.. This is a free for all

We shall have no Rosberg or Schumacher style antics to slow down the track so noone else can beat them on time. No no no..

The entry deadline is fast approaching but is not yet closed. I will be doing the draw this evening however, and you will be notified of your tuner # and which car you are assigned tomorrow(Sunday).
After you have received the PM from shaun and myself, you may begin tuning. So long as your testing for the Old and New challenge is complete.

Good luck and happy tuning!

The following is an explanation on how the draw will be done.

All tuners without a GT6 podium or are first time entrant, will be in a draw for the first 2 cars. M3 07 and Chrome Line (CL). They will be tuners 1 and 2.

M3 and CL will then be removed, and tuners 3-6 will be matched with the cars from the other group. The car selection will be from each other car with 2 of each in the pile.

Then the M3 and CL WILL be added, 1 of each, for the next draw for tuner 7. Then removed if neither is selected, for tuners 8-11.

They will be readded for tuner 12. That will leave 2 cars and 4 tuners. If either M3 or CL ARE still available, the next to spots, 13 and 14 will be drawn to ensure we now how 14 pairs with each of the 7 represented twice.

For the remaining tuners, there will be one of each car(all 7) with the M3 and CL up for grabs. 15 and 16 will be drawn to fill out the tuner list and they get whatever is drawn. The remaining 5 cars will then be drawn as possible late entries. That way, tuner number and matching car will have already been selected.

Confusing and long yes, but fair and totally up to chance. Any questions, I will try and explain.

The draw is now done, in the morning I will see if we have any more sign ups but the draw accounted for 21 tuners just in case. After I confer with @shaunm80 , we will start the PM process.

 

[shaunm80]

Both Bowtie and myself have started to PM all the tuners with their weapons of allocation for this challenge. Once you have received this, you are free to start tuning (as long as your testing duties for @Motor City Hami have finished). As the PMs will say, if you have any problems or issues which are specific to your tune, PM us back directly and we will sort it out. Feel free to discuss this event in this thread but please do not give away which car you have tuning or your tuner number. It is blind testing after all so we do not want to spoil the fun.

The tuning deadline is as stated in the first few posts of this thread. Once your tune is received, we will consider it a final tune and changes will only be allowed should me or Bowtie see an issue with it which does fit the rules and regulations. Only submit once you are completely happy with it, or the tuning deadline has been reached. On that note. Enjoy and we look forward to seeing what you create.

Sorry in advance testers. With all the FWDs I`ve been testing and lots of laps on GTA at Sarthe, I might end up tuning a drift car by accident for this challenge..........

I can think of 5 corners that would be easy to initiate a drift very easily.

Great! I'm excited to get started on my tune. I'm close to reaching some milestones on these forums. 1000 posts, 100 likes on my meme, probably close to getting a warning from mods.. What I want is a win in one of these tuning contest now too, c'mon win!

Everyone needs goals! Here's to you accomplishing all of them.

Including the warning??

Would testing start early if all the tunes are submitted early?

 

[shaunm80]

Would testing start early if all the tunes are submitted early?

Theoretically yes, as long as all the tunes meet the requirements.

Well you hit the 1k posts 👍 and you will prolly hit the 100 likes with the FITT challenge.
As for the win if you got one of the M3's you will have a good chance. Your tunes are always good.

Are you trying to get some inside knowledge on who has got what car?

 

[Otaliema]

Nope. That would take the fun outta guessing. Just making a statement based you and @Bowtie-muscle car draw rules. @MrGrado has no wins so he had a high chance at a M3.But from what I gathered it was not a 100% chance.

 

[fordracer]

Good Luck and soft crashes to all my fellow tuners. Let the fun and games begin!

Someone has been paying attention. Good to see.

For the most part, everyone HAD a chance at the M3 and the Chrome Line, even those that have past wins and/or podiums. The chance for the others was just higher.

Well, I'm gonna have to spend quite a lot of time driving before i start to tune. I'm so sloooow - I guess that's what happens when you don't touch GT for months at a time.

On the bright side my car does look pretty fly.

You have time to get back at it, and I'm sure it will come back.

I have a quick question, has camber changed at all since that Focus competition Motor City Hami held? I remember it being detrimental to grip back then.

From my minor testing I have done while tuning my cars I have found similar results to the idea that adding camber removes grip, but I also found using some here and there to help with corners sometimes.

Still trial and error with some cars but for the most part 0.0 is better although a little here and there can be beneficial.
