FITT Tōge Challenge / Sierra Time Trial

[fbccars924]

I feel like a genius. I been tuning an elise for group 2 just now realizing it's limited to 3 cars. I am looking into tuning a car for group 1 instead though since my 4wd tuning is pretty well limited to Drag and drift. Let me hash a few things out then I'll get back to you.

Impreza - Great car, not much to change. Only 2 things I had an issue with, and both aren't critical. Transmission was weird for an Impreza. I was shifting at 8k, then 78, then 74, then 7k. I guess the ratios are a bit wide for 2-4th? I don't know transmission, but I know Impreza likes power in the 6k-low7k range. Other than that, it has some instability when braking from high speed. Maybe increase front brakes or add downforce? I don't know, I'm not the tuner here.

FC3S - Good car (though it was a bit slow, it exceeded my expectations), but I felt the rear was too soft. I couldn't get much feedback from it. Edit- Also launch from 2nd is faster than 1st gear launch.

If the tunes are finalized, I have your laptimes, too.

Yep that's my final entry, and happy to hear it exceeded any expectations! Thanks for taking the time to do reviews!

This is final tune. Just drive it as a MR car (earlier braking point) will solve the braking problem cos I 've tested with it (brake increase at front) but at last stages will harm the handling due to the elevation.

Just drove your cars out today, got some feedback and lap times. Just tell me if you want them.

 

[steve nfs]

Why not every participate tunes to be review on final stage as usual ?

You can tell me the good and the bad news about the car.

Your choice. As long as testers don't give out the scores before the actual testing period, I think it's still legal.

@hall90
The S15 was very stable in the corners, cornering grip is nice and it's also good off the line. Although it likes to understeer whenever I'm turning in while braking, which is a bit difficult to control once it starts. It might just be me, because I like to leave a little braking into the corner, so I wasn't really confident in pushing the car.

I am happy to wait for feedback when all the results are released officially. That way, I get to be surprised by the lap time, DC and comments all in one go Thank you for the offer though.

 

[Otaliema]

Quite a mix of cars so far.
All pretty close together from the reported times. Should be a tight challenge again 👍

 

[RB26DETT]

I'm pretty much done with my tune. I never set up a transmission before so I have to learn to do that

I missed the alerts when you quoted me. Your times were:
Impreza- 3.28.233
FC3S- 3.30.716

Thanks, Frenzyhero. You are really the creator of this track. Me, 1 second slower.

I considered this car as well, but it needs to be pre 2000 so it doesn't qualify to enter, sorry.

 

[coryclifford]

Well, it does say no later than 2000, which implies, including 2000…

 

[DolHaus]

Year 2000 is fine 👍

I will say my times are abysmal for the course so i am very curious how better hands treat my Part Time Cruiser.

some details concern the car balance but still have some time to complete.

but arises in my garage a new car (Toyota CELICA SS-ll (ST) '97)

I'm torn

Driving tips:
Drive it like any MR. Try to brake in a straight line. Be careful with bumps and gentle on the power out of corners. A tap on the brakes mid-corner to change direction is fine. Most corners under about 60 degrees can be taken flat out. Don't use more then about 75% throttle off the line to avoid wheelspin.

I might update it later, but I am glad to get this out there. Thank you so much for holding this contest!

@CJorex Am I not seeing the spring rate for MR2?

No you are not I completely forgot it! Just a minute and I'll fix it.

so it does i'll reload it see if that cures it. had no issues on my phone but maybe that was because i have a local copy of it.

Probably just a rendering issue, youtube does that sometimes

looks like thats what it was. I uploaded it again and no issues.

Looks fine, could have been a bit tidier in places, there were a few sections where you were going in too hot an losing speed on the exit. 👍
4wd?
