Any one run or try my Pug ? Is it doing good or not ?
It looked like it had a pretty smooth run as expected and I'd say it was about mid pack in terms of speed.

Just like to add that the diversity of cars for this was very refreshing and that shows like Hot Version would be a lot better if they had such a wide range of cars on display.
 
I liked it, actually. It sounded pretty good, and overall, pretty balanced.
Don't know about on track driving it, but while watching it had a very odd doppler quality to its sound like it was being echoed off the mountainside.:D

:lol:

Anyway, Ridox. I am yet to analyze the Alpine. It did pretty good though.
 
Unlike krenkme's Ginetta and trackrippers Copen Mat didn't need to do a second run with it so...

Haha, the Ginetta crashed at the entrance of the tunnel, while the Copen spun out after the checkpoint. It was already counted, but I forgot to save the replay, so that's why the second run commenced. lol :lol:

Anyway, the Ginetta, it was drifting through the corner before the tunnel, I was about to save it, suddenly, the car jolts the other way, and BAMRIGHTINYOURFACE!

I blame the very small winscreen. lol :lol:

Oh, thanks guys, I thought it would be a handful, but if Mat says it's pretty good, I am glad:D, so what happens after the tests ? A Touge Battle with knockout rounds:dopey:

Not really. I choose the winner, then it battles with my MR-S. 2 rounds. 3, if they're equal.

There's a possibility for a knockout round though. If there are cars that have the same score, they battle. The winner then proceeds to battle me.
 
The run I remember the most was with Tak's MX5, 3 reruns with 3 cam cars. :lol: And even on the 3rd run, there was so much exit oversteer I caught…just about everything, I think, up in that bit. :lol:
 
Anyway, more details on the episode. During the testing, I'll only provide pics. (To save space. lol)

But for the final showdown, video, of course. I'll need a camera car behind us, though. Who wants in? lol

EDIT: SolidSnake! Where are you!!??

You do realise a video saves much more space than a series of pics right? :lol:
 
Shoot him a PM, and hassle him (i.e blow up his PSN message box) with a few reminders.

I want to be the Cam Car! Good chance to test Praiano's Vitz that I couldn't use.

Yeah, but it takes forever to upload. :lol:

Alright, you got the job! lol

Anyway, don't expect to be too busy.

1. You'll only be needed on weekends. (Probably once or twice a month.)
2. For the upcoming rounds, I'm limiting it to five entrants.

That's all. lol

EDIT: Oh wait, I forgot. You'll be needed tomorrow. The final battle will take place.

The camera car has no limit on tuning BTW.

What time? I'm only available from 5PM GMT+8 onwards. Or 12PM to 2PM. But not from 3 to 4, ok? :lol:

Well, since we have the same GMT, that just makes things easier. lol

Anyway, I'm not too sure. Best bet would be 12PM. I'll try to get in touch with my other driver.

That sound is good and i'm happy that the Pug be in mid pack in terms of speed 👍

That what i look for the car have a good balance with good sound but it felt in speed terms not the fastest . 👍

If you can, get him to do it tonight, I'll be up right the way through to 3AM. :lol:

And since we're all asking…I assume my FC is mid/lower half of the pack, somewhat average on the driving?

lol. Anyway, I've messaged him already. I'm still waiting for a reply.
 
Well, reasons are:

1. It was quite predictable with oversteer
2. Controllable oversteer
3. Feels nicely balanced
4. It's a nice street car

And I could have lost.

I would have picked the X4, but it requires a lot of aggresiveness. Especially having no low-end torque, it sucked at standing starts.
