So after re-testing the cars for the "Japanese Jamboree" (considering the new tyre model) i actually managed to gain 2-4 seconds with all of the cars we will be using.
Having gained those seconds, i managed to achieve similar times for them as you will see below.
I also tweaked some cars (especially the MR2) to make it a fair battle between all of us.
So here are the Power & Weight figures, also the Suspension and LSD tweaks for some of the cars:
Impreza WRX- 2:27 (SH) Weight: 88%
RX-7 FC- 2:27 (SM) Power: 137% Weight: 88%
RX-7 FD- 2:26 (SM)
Supra RZ- 2:27 (SM)
Supra 3.0GT 2:26 (SM) LSD 8,10,12 Power: 115% Weight 85%
EVO X- 2:27 (SH) Weight: 88%
EVO IV- 2:27 (SM) Power: 115% Weight: 86%
R32- 2:27 (SH) Power: 103% Weight: 93%
R33- 2:26 (SH) LSD: Front: 8, 15, 10 Rear 6, 15, 12 Ride Height: Rear 132 Camber Angle: Rear 1.2 Toe Angle: Rear In 0.90
R34- 2:27 (SH)
86- 2:26 (SM) Power: 159% Weight: 90%
BRZ- 2:26 (SM) Power: 159% Weight: 88%
MR2- 2:25 (SS) LSD: 10, 18, 12 Power: 112% Weight: 94% Ride Height: Front: 125 Rear: 125 Spring Rate: Front: 1.88 Rear: 1.85 Anti Roll Bar: Front: 6 Rear: 3 Camber Angle: Front: 1.0 Rear: 2.0 Toe Angle: Rear: In 0.85
P.S: I'm no expert at tuning, i do know the basics however, so please don't judge too much
.
Hope to see a lot of you on Tuesday evening

So can we adjust the suspension etc on all the cars, or just the ones you've listed? A good setup can be worth a second or two over stock. Would take a fair bit of time to dial in all these cars. Can we not leave stock but adjust the power and weight to equalise the times? There's the danger that someone who is supposed to be in a quick car gets destroyed by someone in a well setup slower one, which sort of defeats the purpose of what you're trying to achieve no ?
I may have missed the boat completely on something so please ignore me if that is the case

I believe Sparks tuned up some of the cars only so they will be as competitive as certain other cars which are Stock. Having said that @Sparkz_360 tune for the MR2 is amazing and even I’m posting 2.25s in it with hardly any practice, but in the 2.30s with the others!!

@buybon355 No harm in asking questions mate. I only tuned those cars specifically to make sure they’re more controllable under braking, yes the R33 is AWD but it can be annoying always getting the tail out which can lose you time. If you’ve driven the MR2 (or anyone for that matter) you already know how that car behaves. 
I did test all the cars and I managed to get the same or similar times especially in the first two sectors. Overall, all the cars we will be using in this event I managed 2:25-2:26 between all of them, yes I could be faster but the point of this event is to have fun
@Sutsagrd that makes my tune more special, especially knowing I rarely tune cars

I dunno. You did alright with the MR2. I spanked everything else I tried around Dragon Trail in it: it's a Duesy.that makes my tune more special, especially knowing I rarely tune cars

I was thinking on joining tonight. Hope to be home on time. At first the rules seemed like algebra but after reading it more the logic comes up. The humor is here. Thats for sure.

I was also not able to make it. How many people were in the room ? Maybe a raincheck ?

Ended up with 6 in the end. 7th member came but he decided to spectate. It was good fun though.

French Roulette, it's a bit like Russian Roulette, but no harm done. Actually, it's nothing like Russian Roulette, and I only called it French because we'll be doing it at Alsace Village.
The car... Honda's splendid S660. Full level up changes available, but tuning prohibited.
The tyres... C/M, no degradation. (Fuel set to 10X).
The principle of the game...
Prior to the race (which will be 5 laps in each case) we all quit into the lobby where adjustments can be made.
Each racer decides how much power to have. Minimum 175%, max 235% (weight can be anything you want).
We all jump on track at the same time.
The person who has chosen the least power gets 50 points and pole position. The next lowest receives 48 points and second place on the grid etc, until the person who has chosen the highest power goes to the back of the grid and gets the appropriate number of points, depending on how many are racing.
In the case of two or more people choosing exactly the same amount of power they share the total points they would have received. (ie, if three players choose the lowest possible power, then there are 50 points, 48 points and 46 points to be had, totalling 144 points. Spread among them this is 48 points each. I will roll a dice to decide their grid positions.)
If someone picks the lowest power setting, without anyone else matching it, that driver will receive two bonus points.
Then, we race. At the end of the race everyone who didn't win (that'll be most of us) will lose a point for every full second they were behind the winner. It will be possible (but somewhat unlikely) for someone to come last and still gain the most points in the race!
There will be one bonus point for the fastest lap.
After each race we will all be able to change our power settings to try to gain a strategic edge.
Folks, I'm really quite proud of this formula because it is unique in my experience, and will make racing right until the very end important no matter what position you are in. The Honda is a smashing little mover, and can handle the power well.
I'm already looking forward to it.
Slipstream and track edge grip will be set to real, light mechanical damage, but no visible damage. Driving line and ABS available, all other assists off.
Oh, yes, and we will have rolling starts...
Cheers, Zo.

Wow, this is an awesome formula if i do say so myself.
Have to be honest, this trumps my "Japanese Jamboree" formula by a long shot.
This will be very close indeed.

Yeah sorry for the late show. And for holding your race up!
I thought I'd only got the RX7 but on seeing Suts in his GTR I realised I'd got one of those as well. After a bit of a clear out and to reclaim some credits my "garage" is mostly made up of race cars now. A recent splurge in buying the three Gr2 cars has left me short on credits.
However...
...I think I can probably run to one of those. I think I've even got some milage points left too.
Won't that cause a tremor? Which button is it anyway?
While there's got to be a maximum do you need a minimum? I can see the possibility of everyone choosing 192%. If there's no figure there's less chance of two having the same. Of course your supercomputer may have factored this in, in which case ignore me.

Thanks Sparkz, I am too.
The range of power options is restricted to allow me to gauge to some extent what points should be awarded to the least powerful Paul. If a driver was to drop below 192%, then anyone going for 235% would be almost guaranteed to beat them by a sufficient time gap to wipe out any points gained.
Having said that, I've yet to come up with any plan, in any area of my life, which didn't leave room for improvement. This may well be just another example.
So, here it is, the first amendment... Minimum power to be 175%. That introduces a bit of 'slack'. Anyone going for that is asking for a kicking, but how low can you go and not take a kicking?
Cheers, Zo.
