[Lionheart2113]

Yeah, I bet it's the car! You're not slower than me @DolHaus ..look at the first round of GT Academy. I think I'm the slowest on my list.

Slowest so far...

@Motor City Hami 👍
How about that twin clutch usage on 450pp, and is it allowed to update already posted tune during "tuning period"?

I would prefer to mandate one clutch part to make it easier on the test drivers. It would be really easy to overlook that when switching between tunes.

FITT needs a better rule for changes to posted tunes. I recommend this. Tuners can post early tunes to the thread. Once they are ready for test drivers to start with their tune, tuners should add a line to the tune post saying "Complete - ok to test." Once that phrase is posted under your tune, no changes will be allowed. I will take a screen grab of each tune once that line of copy is posted to it.

I would like to be a tuner and tester please. Just quit smoking, chewing, and diet coke. This should keep the brain and fingers busy.

I think I am probably tuning the slowest of the 400PP cars on the list but its a lot of fun to drive around. I doubt ill be setting any land speed records with this one..

Triple-plate cutch & flywheel allowed

Hmm.. Mandatory or free to use option, standard + triple, not twin?

VW Golf I Gti '76 and Golf Gti '05

Thanks for adding me MCH 👍 I'll try my best to make you all laugh

 

[DolHaus]

Does anyone know if hybrids recharge in the pits?

I would go with mandatory, makes it easier on the testers, especially if there is going to be this many tunes to build.

Welcome to FITT and good luck.

Depends on how tame I keep the back end, right?

Right! Unlike last time....slide into the grass, spin into the grass, drive into the grass....then hit the wall!!!

And not just on your car either!👍

 

[fordracer]

I'll probably have mine way to tight....I'll order a truck load of front fenders now.

Man all the strength of will to ya it's not easy, with the cut out of coke and nicotine you are going to have lots of ups and downs. Recommend coffee with heavy cream to help keep you awake at least. Been there done that almost got the smoking quit didn't quite make it there but I did cut the soda out, but had to replace it with creamed coffee for the caffeine.

1:56 @ Monaco in a 400 pp car ..... You're a crazy driver @Lionheart2113

Nice stay at it.
If your car is too tight might want to order rear fenders and doors too

I think the secret is to remove paint but not dent the panels

O'Rly? you cat de-bagger you.

 

[Motor City Hami]

Tuner please. Sub 1:56.xxx's with the 400pp, I'm eyeing up another 1/2 second, and yes I took off the parachute.

With that time in the 400 PP car, are you sure you went to the right track?

 

[coryclifford]

Hey guys. I'm playing along and just wanted to say one of the 400 cars is a 1:55 car. Unfortunately its 450 counterpart is not up to snuff. Pretty cool event. Maybe I'll sign up.

Cheers

Count me in as a tuna and driver.

You can tuna piano, but can you tuna fish???

 

[Brewguy44]

All I know is the Chaparral 2X VGT does. I ran it at The 24 mins of LeMans Race and every two laps you have to pit. It has a battery gauge instead of a fuel gauge. You see it go down like a fuel gauge.

Yes, yes I can, blue fin or yellow tail, skip jack is blah.

With you asking that, I had to go back and make sure everything was to the specs and I was on the right track. @coryclifford is right on the sub 1:55 car (I've only done the transmission and LSD so far), but I found its brother to be just as competitive against the other 450pp's. I wonder what car he might be talking about.

 

[coryclifford]

Can I say what cars?

 

[Lionheart2113]

I would wait for a bit.

 

[coryclifford]

Yeah, I thought the same. 👍
