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

[Onboy123]

put me down for the euro shootout. i am apparently too impatient for the ring project.

Tuner or tester? Choose wisely…

 

[Akira GT]

Still going for the R8 very speedy with the tune I made up for it! 1:32:432 which is very fast for me

 

[smrtb0mb]

I think I'll try joining this as a tester - if you don't mind a DS3-using, auto-shifting, average driver

Is post #2 gonna be kept up to date with all the tunes?

Good to see you join and yes it will

 

[madmyk]

I will officially submit a tune. I have a couple cars in the 1:32 range so I think I'm ready to roll.

 

[CSLACR]

I've tried a Ferrari, an Aston Martin, an Audi, 2 BMW's, and have another Ferrari I'm going to try, so far a BMW is fastest, but the Audi is incredible to drive, especially with a pretty wild tune I have on it.
Guess I'll have to try that Evora I was thinking about. My current best is 1:28.1xx in a BMW, 1:28.5 in the Audi.
Are there going to be limits on amount of times the same car can be used?

Tuner.

With your driving and your tuning I could see low 1:27's or a high 1:26 even. My high 1:27 is my limit. It would take a lot of laps to improve it. I average low 1:28's.

 

[bigberry]

Put me down as a tuner , im a rank amateur but why not .

As someone said the Z4 M sounds good so does a CTR2.

Does the car have to be tuned online or offline ? I didnt see the ruling on that.

 

[ACSR421]

I'm in as a tuner this time.

 

[Akira GT]

Things are being shaken up this time

 

[XDesperado67]

Got my hands on the HPA Stage II R32. It was a 0/0 car so still needs breaking in. Changed the oil and made my modifications to the car. Headed over to Laguna Seca and after only rudimentary tuning adjustments mainly to get it down to 525PP I hit the track. On only my second lap took 3 thousandths off my best time...think with a bit more tuning your all in trouble!

 

[Onboy123]

That said…it is Wallbanger driving so it could just be him getting better, not the car

Wonder when we can start claiming the same about you funny boi!

Don't make me put you back in the German tank with the brakes set to 0/0.

Never And ok, do that, there's always RA functions and the handbrake

2200+kg vs handbrake at 200+mph...hmmm which one do you think wins!

 

[Onboy123]

2200+kg +the nuke that Onboy keeps in the boot of every car he drives vs handbrake at 200+mph...hmmm which one do you think wins!

No one The nuke goes boom and then everyone else follows.

And to think I was wondering how the FF Shootout thread got to 1800 posts so quickly.

Lol through constructive criticism and on topic discussions like these

Hey my Panzer is a legitimate possibility for this shootout...don't know what Onboy is going on about though.

 

[CSLACR]

Looks like I'll be entering a BMW M3 CSL '03.

1:28.014 in a couple laps, 1:28.9xx on my second lap with a DS3.

 

[smalldave]

I have a nice tune on an M3, NSX and Vanquish, but their quite specific to my driving style... I'm happy to enter as a tester though, so long as the testing is done before 19th August

PS I use a G27

I thought someone would enter one of those. Looking forward to that and the others once they are fleshed out. Gonna go spend some time with the LS enduro to get myself familiar with the track...and go find some replays from the Challenger WRS week.

 

[mafia_boy]

Consider me in. I'll let the other boys from GME decide if they want to enter aswell but I'll be in for sure. 👍

 

[GfxJG]

ROFL, my first test will be a CSL also. Let's see what I can come up with though lol.

I'll try to get you a few more cars to test, maybe a M3 GTR? A M coupe? Lanica Stratos? Lamborghini Countach?

So far, I've tested the CSL (Fail), 512BB (Fail), Audi S4 '98 (Somewhat Pass), Hommell Berlinette R/S (Fail), Mercedes C63 AMG (Somewhat Pass), Lotus Esprit (Fail), Ginetta G4 (Fail) and the E-Type Jag (Fail).

Coming up are, among others: Audi RS6 Avant '08, Lamborgini Countach (Both models), some of the older Alfa Romeos. But yes, suggestions are welcome.

Try the '03 S4, nice big chunky V8 parked up front, lots and lots of grunt. Although we were running the cars with heavy restrictions, the '03 battered the '98. For what it's worth, I prefer the look of the '98...

{Cy}

EDIT: - I've got on '03 if you want it, relatively untouched...

 

[Onboy123]

I've got one of those too, completely untouched and just so you know, you can't turbocharge it.

Doesn't really need it, goes like schtink...

The RS6 Avant '08 is a nice car but you have to either severally limit the upgrades or run with nearly full ballast and max power limiter to keep it at 525PP. I tested one, which is now set up to do time attack on Nürburgring, and fully modified it leaving out only the wing and chassis reinforcement. With something like 198 kg ballast I had the engine power limited down to 53% and it was brand new and hadn't been broken in yet.
