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

[CyKosis1973]

I think it was just an oversight. Onboy shared it straight after I pointed it out.👍

Top job, thank you kindly...

Final times added to this post.

Thanks to all involved, again it's been a blast. I think I've learnt much about where I need to improve as a driver (whether I can or not is yet to be seen).

Could you link it up when you next get out of the practice room piano man?

Very cool. An MR I can make go fast. And without really trying too hard. Don’t get me wrong, I did my usual quota of smashing into barriers, digging holes in sandtraps etc., but getting consistently fast lap times was fun. It turns well, it accelerates well, and the gearbox is used almost to the limit.

Nice time bud, glad you enjoyed my tune.👍

I do wish that I could have made this car go faster, it is a legend after all. Unfortunately, what I found was the understeer present into and through a corner restricted the amount of speed I could carry during cornering. And of course trying to gain any time back at the exit caused the car to turn around, as if it was trying to say “Look at that corner, fool. That’s where you went wrong!”

Wow ok. Thanks for testing. Im surprised at your comments , most of the other test drivers found it very easy to drive, tamed so to speak. I think it has a much quicker time in it. Oh well.

Thanks.

 

[tris_73]

Yeah, sorry about that. It is undoubtedly faster in other drivers hands, but for me there is just something a bit out of whack. I just had a bash with a bog standard one and after 2 laps was just less than a second behind my posted time. There's just something about the handling of your tune that really does not suit me.

 

[XDesperado67]

Hey Onboy any chance you'll be able to find time to squeeze in a few more times here as you're motivation, at least for writing, has returned?

 

[smalldave]

Bad news fellas, I was going to test today but got distracted, so decided to test tommorow.... but I get my AS results tommorow so I'll be out all day, and I don't think I have everyone I need as a friend... then pack for holiday Friday and leave in the small hours of Saturday

I'll still try and cram it in but I don't want to skew the results by not spending enough time with the cars...

Be sure to let me know if you have any more shoot outs though as if I have time I'd happily be tuner or tester

 

[madmyk]

Thanks again Tris for the test results. I think you provided valuable feedback to everyone and that is much appreciated.

smalldave, I forget if we are friends on PSN yet. If not, I may not be able to send a FR until tomorrow.

I re-sorted the results again, but do not make too much of it until each tester has finished their tests.

 

[XDesperado67]

I sent you an FR smalldave.👍👍

Also I have started a new thread regarding Shootouts and other events.

Tuning Forum Competition Committee

I would greatly appreciate everyone checking it out and providing input there.

 

[CSLACR]

If there is a driver's choice award, it has to go to CSLACR's M3 due to the revelation about the track it brought me.

I like this review.

 

[XDesperado67]

I like this review.

You would! and here I was hoping he would pick my crazy futball mum beast.

 

[CSLACR]

I would like to know what exactly it was though.

What exactly what was? Sorry bit lost on your last statement.

 

[Onboy123]

Ok, exam tomorrow, then I'm free but only have a day to get it all done. Tight. No more drag and mountain races for me for then next two days then...

 

[smalldave]

madmyk, I'm on my iPod so I can't see your psn, and desperado I accepted you I reckon if my results are good I'll be on tommorow evening and do some running if I don't get distracted... I just find online physics more fun, and online as a whole a but more tempting

 

[krenkme]

Smalldave, I sent a FR. Good luck with my 518pp Opel Slowster

Nice naming pun there.

Is it possible that at least a couple of you could get their PSNs added on my account? I already have a stock Pikes Peak, Fireblade and can get any Premium possible so the odd ones out would be best off adding me.

Judging by the entrants I think those would be slayer, ACR, Gfx, madmyk, bigberry, Temetias and kremke. You guys don't have to add me at all but you're more than welcome to. I need to regain my racing touch anyway and it might be convenient for my upcoming shootout.

Send me a FR and I should be able to add you by tomorrow.

 

[C-ZETA]

You didn't need to send the FR as I have an untouched Pikes Peak but it should be convenient for my shootout so I'll be on your friend list by the 20th.

Send me a FR and I should be able to add you by tomorrow.

I can't actually send or accept FR's till the 20th, so you could send me an FR in that time.

All righty then

I like this review.

Thought you might.

Believe it or not, I did briefly consider calling it a tie between the two. Just for the sheer amazement value of seeing the shopping trolley keep up with (and beat) the 'super' cars.

I would like to know what exactly it was though.

There is something in the weight transfer that allowed me to take corners three and four much faster than I normally would be able to (and the corkscrew). That taught me how to do it with other cars.

And I like the colour

I see.. You know, Yellow is faster.

 

[GfxJG]

If there are more testers, send me an FR. If my PS3 works, I'll accept them.
