That's exactly what you did and you need more variety in your colors man! Pick one or expand that's the road I took. Picked one and only use different colors if the car screams for it or can't be painted. (Unless I'm trying to be me self hehe which I failed at some how)

I do use multiple shades of blue, not just one. Also have other tunes with different colors, usually white but my RX-8 was yellow, my NSX Green and my Focus was Orange. I would call that variety.

Well when you win a FITT competition you have to expect that some ... people may want to find out about your little secrets. I do love your Blue Collection, uh what is it that it says in your signature .... there are so many beautiful colors to enjoy, a gift from the creator .

Along with many other beautiful creations and wonderful colors.

I was going to say "ABOUT TIME", but ...... maybe the wait will have been well worth it .

Have to wait and see if it was worth the wait, not sure it is podium worthy but, Bowtie-muscle = Chevy every day. Besides, the other choice was the 458 and now there are two.

I very nearly went with a AMG Mercedes but the 458 was much more fun. I wouldn't be surprised if one more pops its head above the parapet before the deadline is passed.

You guys have chosen the cars that are fast or just what you liked more for this shoot-out ?

I saw the list and my choice was made instantly without having driven any of them. Just have a bit of a weakness for that old Viper

I did try a few others but the ZR1 was the one I was the most happy with, shocking I know

I did a different move, take and tune a random car that I haven't tuned yet. My other choices would have been Viper or Corvette, but they are getting their fair share of attention too.

Lil'bit of both. I am trying for fast and drivable. Not fast and kill you.
All though this car has MPD
Under or just below its limit. *Yawn when are you going to learn to use the go fast pedal*

At its limit. "I love you. You go fast"

Just past its limit. "Hey I don't like that, stop it. You didn't stop I'm going to kill you now."

Half way through the spin.
"Wait I was only kidding about killing you. Still friends?"

Mine is somewhat reminiscent of Kimi Raikkonen in that it has two responses to any question asked of it:

Yes - Performs seemingly impossible tasks with consummate ease
No - There is a limit which you have now passed, this will not end well.

Will hopefuly be able to squeeze some testing in for this. Can I just confirm the rule that a submitted tune is a completed tune? Would like to get an early start if poss to be able to run forwards and reverse.

I think that technically the tuners can modify this until the date mentioned for the end of tuning. So you can take the risk that they won't be changed, I would , but that's my opinion . I fully understand about available time to play so the worst that could happen is that you might have to redo 1 or 2 of them .

Unless the ES states they are final once posted. Which @CSLACR has done so anything posted can not be changed. *I would expect typos to allowed to be corrected for clairity unless it's changing a setting. eg 0.444 toe to 0.44 toe*

For my tune, I always try my best to only submit a finished tune unless I made a typo in the tune, it makes it easier on the testers and the more fun they can have during the event, the better it seems to become for everyone. Glad to see you back testing and hope everyone can enjoy the tunes as they throw them around the tracks.

I was having a look at the jump the other day to see if it was possible to take off and land sideways but its just too far back unfortunately

Yeah sadly it is too far back to for good air shots. You can catch air in Tunnel 1 forward and make the next turn but your only launching a 25 cm or so up and maybe 3 meters forward

Notes :

The Ken Wolf/Terai Engineering/Art Sports/Rain-X ZA9C Countach 25th Anniversary was raced in 1994 season All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship.

The Rain-X Countach for short, was entered by JLOC ( Japan Lamborghini Owner's Club ) member Teruaki Terai. With cooperation of Ken Wolf, Art Sports ( exotic car dealer ) and Rain-X sponsoring the team, the Rain-X Countach was rushed to participate in JGTC races.

The Countach only had minimal modification compared to other teams, with stock differential, gearbox, engine, and clutch. The suspension, intake and exhaust has been known to be upgraded as well as brakes and wheel for racing on slick tires. The official power was 455+PS, but there are reports of the engine capable of 550PS which is plausible as the car has racing spec intake and exhaust, and even with stock engine internals, a race prepped engine would yield higher output than stock road engine. I provided 2 power output spec, 455PS and 550PS, feel free to remove the limiter on the 455PS spec to enjoy unrestricted what if power at 480+PS or go mental with 550PS spec.

For weight, I had to do some unconventional method to get the information. I used specs from very old SNES official JGTC game, of which I have read the ROM inside to get the detailed car specs ( 455+PS,1250kg )

Suspension is custom on the car, with spring rate and ratio optimized to handle the rigors of racing slick grip level. The damper are closely balanced with ARB to maintain composure on high speed to low speed corners with ability to absorb bumps as well. Camber and toe has been set to provide nice balance in handling from comfort soft to racing hard tires.

LSD is 45% lock similar to the road car spec, with low preload, while gearing is stock 5 speed. I have also provided Hewland TGTA 200 5 speed sequential gearbox ratios for the Countach. The 2 sets are each for 455PS and 550PS power spec. Feel free to use it as you see fit ( when stock 5 speed is not good enough ). The base final is 3.100, gives good top speed at close to 170mph, run the optional lower final ( 2.818 / 2.583 ) for more top speed or higher final at 3.444 for lower top speed at twisty track. I also provided several optional Hewland ratios for 3rd to 5th gear for when you want to fine tune for specific track.

The Rain-X Countach was tuned and tested at various tracks from Brands Hatch, Bathurst, Suzuka, Motegi Road Course, and Midfield. When tested without body rigidity installed, 455PS and stock 5 speed , RH tire, at Midfield, it lap in 1:11.494, while with Hewland 5 Speed 455PS, 3.100 Final, body rigidity installed, RH tire, 1:11.0xxs, about 3 tenths quicker.

At Suzuka on SM tire ( closest to real life 1994 slick ), stock 5 speed and body rigidity, 2:15s in 1st lap. The 1995 Suzuka 300 qualifying record by JLOC team driving the Diablo JOTA ( replacement of Rain-X Countach ) was 2:16.417. SH tires maybe necessary to replicate 1994 slick grip level.

I have provided 3 replays for reference and ghost to race with. The 2 replays at Midfield, stock 5 Speed and Hewland 5 speed as mentioned above on RH, and Suzuka on SM 2:15s lap. Enjoy the exciting lap at Midfield and Suzuka

Some good article about the car :

This heavily modified Lamborghini Countach was based on a 25th Anniversary edition, because this was the the most appropriate version to built a race car from. The standard rear spoiler was replaced by a racing type unit, which was completely adjustable, the air intakes behind the doors are redesigned to allow a better air-flow into the engine compartment. This V-12 was reworked to produce over 550 Bhp, combined with a lowered suspension and 18 inch rims with racing slicks, this car was a real performer.

The side glass windows were replaced by Plexiglas panels and just behind the doors, in front of the air intakes, two race-type fuel cells were mounted with racing fillers. The front hood now incorporated an air-extractor and the front spoiler was drastically lowered to obtain down force at high speeds, a top speed wasn't published on this specific model, but without most of the creature comforts in the interior, just one race bucket, and the glass normally used, this one should be able to attain more than 350 Km/h.

The History of JLOC Racing Team in JGTC :

Teruaki Terai, JLOC member and a designer of racing cars, thought that he participated in some races with Lamborghini car but he did not have a racing car nor sponsors. In 1993, he got a burnt Lamborghini Countach. He and his friend M. Mearashi, former car magazine editor, had planned to enter JGTC starting In 1994. They were going to reinforce burnt chassis and using mono plasticbody.

In 1994 spring, the car was not still completed. They could not enter the 1st race at Fuji but the news of participation of Lamborghini Countach to JGTC race attracted the organizer. And they were requested to enter Fuji race.
Then Mr. Mearashi invited Mr. Satoshi Ikezawa, a cartooner and racing driver,and he negotiated with Art Sport to supply a racing car. Mr. Terai obtained a famousdriver Mr. Takao Wada and sponsor Rain X.

Art Sport supplied normal Countach. The car was very heavy for racing after tear off gorgeous interior. Moreover engine, clutch, transmission, differential, etc., were normal specifications. Modified only brake and wheels to race spec. The car was completed. They invited Mr. Isao Noritake, a chairman of JLOC, for sole director and team structure was established. Team participated all five races with director Mr. Terai and drivers Mr. Wada and Mr. Ikezawa and finished two races.

​

The entry is based on the 1994 JGTC Countach, due to the stock weight/distribution, I made some tweaks on damper and ARB ( stiffer )
Tested at Midfield on SS, default time ( 17:30 ), grip real. Capable of 1:10s on 1st lap ( ABS 0 ), able to hit 180mph on the main straight, 22s 1st sector and 44s last sector. The car is heavy, aim and shoot, it will hold the line like a heavy go kart with plenty rear traction Not yet tested on Midfield Reverse, drive it at your own risk
A replay of the test run has been included, 1:10s, recommended to use as a ghost for Midfield.

Car has oil change, required to reach the power.

Enjoy

I have chosen my weapon of choice. I`m going for the black one, which is now red. Will post tomorrow after I recheck the brake balance, think it may be a bit aggressive at the moment. I like it sideways, not sure the other testers will!

Look at you being nice. I'd go with what makes you smile when you drive it...don't worry about the testers, they can handle it!

 

[brian wolf]

I`m always very considerate to the testers.....unless there is an MR2 involved.

I`m always smiling when I crash, does that count?

Have you forgotten to add a semi racing exhaust to your power parts. I only get 564 pp like it is and 644 hp.

Power parts are mandated a few posts up has the list, however, should be 571pp I believe.
