FITT Tuner Car Shootout

[Motor City Hami]

Maybe you looked past me or maybe i am not allowed ?

Sorry. Just missed you. You are most definitely welcome. Thanks for joining.

Let me know if I missed anyone else.

I say don't let him in until he's properly potty trained and rid of fleas.

 

[trackripper123]

Oh this is going to be fun.

If anyone manages to get tunes up before the tuner deadline, I'd be happy to run some laps with them as soon as possible. Not to rush anyone, but I'm really needing something to fill my GT5 time, done everything I need to do offline now, so FITT shootouts give me something to do, and new cars to try.

My RGT and my CTR2 are on share now, if you have time, drive them for a bit and PM me some feedback? Not too sure about them as of yet, I don't know the tracks well enough to make my own judgement.

Do you know how long that would take..?? I find it easier to shut him out in the garden

Im deciding to use the Gran Turismo 350Z RS for the 490PP class. Found a pretty good basic tune for it, so now I just need to find the sweet spot.

 

[praiano63]

I think that if the 350Z is in the 490PP section , the Nismo R32 could be too !!???

If ok, i'll submit the Nismo R32. for 490PP range.

Waiting for your decision Hami....

Anyone have a Spoon S2K they care to trade? All I have is the race car.
Happy to give whatever in return.

I have one with 1,336.8 miles on it. Is that okay? I'll send now if it's fine.

And nothing needed at all.

The PP level at time of purchase is close on these two cars, but the 350Z can only reach a max PP level of 548. The Skyline can get all the way to 585PP. I think the Skyline fits better with the 575PP group. That keeps all of the GT-R based vehicles in the higher class. Also, the only 4wd in the lower class is the Mines Lancer. I think this will make the 490PP class more competitive without GT-Rs and many 4wds.

Ok. You're the boss. But i don't think there is a real competition between so many differents cars, even at the same PP,only driver choice will matter .
Amuse S2000 R1 '04
RUF RGT '00
I think those don't have opponents for lap time.
The R32 is fantastic at 490 or 500PP but horrible when maxed on sport tires.

That was the reason of my request. I'll stay out for this time.

Have fun everybody.

Any times set yet? I've got a 1:04.xxx in my R-tune and 1:05.xxx in another Nismo car, don't know if it's any good though.

That's awesome, thanks! I'll owe you one.

I did a couple of untuned runs in the FD and I was in the 1:06 range (I think) but down a few PP since it won't make it all the way to 575. I'd say you're in the ballpark for sure.

 

[DaDog]

tried a HKS thingy ( the premium evo you know wich one i mean ) minimum downforce 200kg ballast and a little engine limiter after 2 laps 1.04.xxx but its a understeering 🤬 ...

oh no further tuning all the rest we're stock settings

 

[Onboy123]

Hey, my R-Tune has no downforce and is quite nice and unrefined to drive with 600+hp, so it's not too surprising the CT230R ran a similar time.

I saw this and thought, "holy crap, I'm nowhere close to that!!!", forgetting of course there are two divisions:idea: Unless you're talking about a 490PP car in which case I give up

Me too. I'm around the mid 11s with the 350Z. There is still some time in sector 2 if I can tame the rear end. My goal is just get close to that RGT.

 

[trackripper123]

1.04s and 1.11s for me too. Strange, I thought my driving would have made my times slower.

 

[Motor City Hami]

Thinking about opening a room in about an hour - after 9:30 pm eastern daylight savings time. Anyone interested?

 

[lilcat89]

I am, but I probably won't get on until around 10 est.

 

[Motor City Hami]

Sorry. Kid woke up. Not much time for online racing tonight. Will put a couple of cars on share.

 

[Motor City Hami]

Question: Does this PP system make any sense at all? How can this be?

Two very similar cars, same chassis and almost identical tunes.

Car one:
575PP
1350kg
628hp
7500rpm
Lowest aero setting 0/5

Car two:
575PP
1350kg
568hp
7800rpm
Lowest aero setting 10/20

On paper, which car would you think would be faster on the straight and which would have the faster lap time?

 

[iainoflo85]

Question: On paper, which car would you think would be faster on the straight and which would have the faster lap time?

Car one would be faster on the straights, car two would have the faster lap time. Maybe.

 

[Onboy123]

Hmm…from my two cars, I'd say car 1 would be faster, but then I've not ran my other car quite as hard, so I can't judge yet.

Every car has a hidden grip multiplier so you can't necessarily go by HP or downforce to say which car corners better or is faster in a straight line. Less HP but higher exit speed could be hard to overcome, even with 60 less hp.

 

[NEWDRIVER2]

What if I said 1:03.xxx and 1:10.xxx ?

 

[iainoflo85]

What if I said 1:03.xxx and 1:10.xxx ?

Then that would be really fast.

 

[Motor City Hami]

What if I said 1:03.xxx and 1:10.xxx ?

That is where I am at with a couple of 575 pp cars. 103.6.

would depend on the aerodynamic and sleek roof box or drag bit dow-force means greater speed, I would be with two car:tup:

 

[Motor City Hami]

I would have thought that car 1 would beat car 2 hands down. Car 1 is only just slightly faster near the end of the straight. I would add aero to car 1, but cannot add it to the front.

I spent some more time fine tuning each last night and they are very close in overall lap time, so maybe the PP system does sort of work.

 

[iainoflo85]

So I thought I might try and tune a car for this shootout rather than just test. So I picked the G37, don't know why. And painted it Lime Green - didn't realise it would look so cool in that colour, but it does.

Will keep you updated with my progress, but it's my first time tuning from scratch so I think it will probably suck. Learning process all the same though. I'll put it up on share when I think I have it. People are welcome to try it and PM me some pointers. Would really help.
