RVR's 1st Annual 525PP European Car Shootout!!! Final Tester and Tuner Results! :D

[krenkme]

Car unshared right now, Bob is breaking it in @ the 1000k enduro . Specs may change but I'll be sure to be at 525pp by the deadline. Happy racing

Okay since I've decided not to use the Land Rover Range Stormer here's something for all you bored tuners and drivers to do.
Take 1 Range Stormer add all engine/power enhancements possible. This should put you at 533PP. Then add 200kg ballast bringing total weight to 2700kg. Use power limiter to reduce remaining PP to 525. You should end up with 681HP and 738ft-lb torque. Tune suspension etc. to taste and using SS tires see how far under 1:31.847 you can get on Laguna Seca.
I love this monster but the Audi Pikes Peak is faster so that's most likely what I'll be using...unless of course I decide to actually try winning this thing in which case I'll pull out the secret weapon.

P.S. I can put the max weight fully loaded Range Stormer on share if anyone wants to play with it but doesn't own one.

Have you tried it at minimum weight? And yes, please do share.

I had 3 of them I did full weight reduction on the first and tried all sorts of different combinations of engine upgrades and power limiting, the second got stage 2 weight reduction and Windows plus all upgrades except the supercharger. The last one I didn't touch the weight just did engine upgrades on. Might just be my tuning and driving but the best lap times were all within a few tenths regardless and this max weight one just happened to pull the best time of the three.

Car is now shared!👍👍

Updated OP with times and a new tester deadline date

I know the date, but the world is round, which means that date will happen 24 times, to be exact.

Which one of the 24 times it turns 11:59 on August 8th is it?
(One of the things I love about being "around" people from all over the world, is it makes you consider everywhere. )

Thanks for the extra week Dylan. I was getting a little since we're almost at 20 tunes again.

Can I suggest GMT as the base time? I think everyone should know how to convert it to their own time due to the game's reliance on it. 💡

Also can I confirm before I send the last few FRs this evening, ASCR421 is hosting AssassinTuner's entry and Onboy123 is hosting CyKosis1973's entry. All the other tuners are sharing their own entry. Yes?

Hey -raVer-, what's your PSN?

 

[Onboy123]

-raVer-, look at the 2nd post. Like the new title I've given you?

 

[tris_73]

Alright, so at -raVer-'s request, I'll be hosting the entry. It's up for share now.

You asked for a hot european sports car? Okay, I present you....The Opel Speedster!!! *crowd laughing* Okay, it might not be the first thing that comes into mind when asked to think of something fast and european. And I'm quite certain that this car will not win this shootout, but at least the test drivers will get a fun driving session blasting their hot laps.

Tune is now shared online.

 

[Temetias.]

So only thing I'll have to do now is send FR to the testers? The PSN:s are in the 2nd post, right?

Yes and no…unfortunately, the 2nd post is managed by me, which is equivalent to having an ape manage it. But the good thing is that most testers use their PSN username as their GTP username, so everyone on that list, except for slipzTrEm, should be relatively easy to add. Or, I could be mean and get the testers to add the tuners as I have already added or been added by most of them, you included

So everyone else are using their PSN as GTPname, except for slipzTrEm? I'll just add everyone I can and guess I'll have to just wait for slipzTrEm to add me...

Sometimes as a tuner the best thing to do is leave well enough alone. The M5 '05 has quite possibly the best stock suspension in the game.

 

[ACSR421]

FR sent to all testers remaining from GTP_CSL.
May make a small tweak or two yet if nobody's fully finished with there times.

Are we allowed to tweak our tunes still ? If so I'd like to make a small change to my camber and toe settings.

 

[tris_73]

Onboy, why do I have a 'd' at the end of my name in the 2nd post? Fingerfail?

Oh this should be fun:tup: My Opel is broke in and shared as well. Definitly two different tunes. Fun car to drive though

Yes you can as long as it's before the final submit date

 

[Indy Racerfan]

Having just finish my initial test(except those tuners I have mentioned in previous post), I'm going to start finial hot laps sometime later today. I want to thank all the tuners for some incredibly awesome tunes. It's been real fun throwing these cars around the Seca and can't wait until the next challenge.

Again Thanks,
Indy

Hey Indy hope you know a few of us have yet to submit our cars/tunes! Look for my Pikes Peak either later today or early tomorrow.

So what would it cost to maybe "shave" a couple tenths off my time . Hope you have fun:tup:

 

[Temetias.]

Gonna go send rest of the FR's now. ->

By the way, why my tune ain't linked onboy? No worries, there's no rush. Just wondering though...
