He told me his secret is to soak your hands in CRC for 5 minutes before you race as this gets rid of the rust and frees up the fingers :lol:
Now that you told them about my secret, and I am not very happy mate :mad:. Well my other secrets are 3 carrots a day and with the car settings, brakes are 1/0 and I also make up time on the final corner, with a very slight tap on the brakes at the apex but not to much.
@Uday9479 not one complaint as yet to the stewards, but we all have a beer after the race anyway ;).
 
R17 DTM CLASSIC (8:36.748)

R17INV2 ALFADTM93 R584RH P1 836748 20181209_021539.jpg


Statistics:
- lap-by-lap record: 01:45.948 01:42.548 01:42.975 01:42.850 01:42.427
- best lap: 01:42.375
- best 1st lap: 01:44.676
Several 1:42 laps in the same race have been my nightmare, at the end I did 4!.
The first lap is quite slow vs potential but the traffic jam has been quite complex to be overtaken
Confirmed overpowered @praiano63 setup @ 584pp, rear downforce down to 500, gears slightly changed in accordance to the starting grid.

Pity, I've limited time for my 2nd try for NO-TUNE DIV 1... let's see...

Woohoo, I came last in everything!!!

...Mind you, I have been a bit busy, so... Can't complain. ;)
Won't be here for the next round though, at least not till the end. I'll be in Wellington from Wednesday seeing Rhiannon. When I get back I'll hopefully submit some scores and go from there!

@RMan72
LET SOMEONE ELSE WIN

@K3Tuning
INVITE ME AGAIN

---------

OK guys the new INVITATIONALS, BATTLE and the BONUS CAR for GONE IN 60 SECONDS are up and running

We have an event that is sure to be a NIGHTMARE right before Christmas, megane's and clio's go head to head in the INVITE ONLY CHALLENGE, and the new continuous event has started (THE GREAT ESCAPE).

I'll start the NO-TUNE CHALLENGE as soon as I get @RMan72 's choice, if the alphabetical order is the winner of the poll it will start with him which means @skeagracing will be next.

On a sad note I have decided to stop the ONE HIT WONDERS due to the luck of entrants as that event takes the most time to do and it gets the least amount of entrants. Sorry to those people who liked the event.

The ONE HIT WONDERS, this is just an 💡 replace it with the Licence test events mate, and the one with the fasters time gets a Trophy
 
Wanted to know when racing with a specific car, does anyone used customized setups such as by Priano? Ofcourse this would apply to those races where tuning is allowed. But a setup does help no doubt about it then using a default one!

Everyone here uses a setup of some form or another, there was many good tuners, @praiano63 , @GhostRider65, @shaunm80 , @Jeje6410 and many more
 
Sweet tagged a win :P took a sizeable Handicap lol

Finished my 20million grind. Bought my Jag And love it. Hoped for a lil more pp out of it but she's quick still :P handling is great, gonna tweak it for some S ranked events

Some vgt cars be great for no tune. Can run them in any event more or less as no tuning can be done.

Did a Faazination run with the YB on the Northern Loop of the Nurburgring recreating the epic video of the late 90's. A video that had huge influence on my love of tuning cars. Ill post it up, hope y'all like that sort of thing
 
Guys any chance for futer reference could the DIV1 guys try and keep to the spirit of racing and the natural pp of any NO TUNE event.why I ask when your racing with a car thats pp was set for that event thats what the challenge is set out to be,am not throwing a spanner in the works here guys or crying about this but I think this should be the way we race and especially DIV1!!

Do you mean not to do an oil change so the pp doesn't go up?
 
Just quickly guys I've made some changes to the KNOCKOUTS it will be now held over 3 rounds not 4, and the person who finishes last in both events will be eliminated.

@paddycars1 if you do mean about the oil change, it's something that can't be policed so everyone can still do it.
 
No bryce when the IA helps you gain more power from pushing your car to get a better lap its not the spirit of racing just guys:tup:
You make a good point, but again it can't be policed so it's all on us.
That will only happen with the slower cars
 
But the problem is bryce for the DIV1 racers there car and they were fast anuff to beat the IA from the 3rd lap onwords?
In the last round with the BMW 2002 we had to block the GTR to win the race, so with lower powered cars we will lose. Not that it matters because it's fastest time.
when we use a faster car the AI will not push us along as we will all be way ahead of it.

I'm not going to make it a rule as it can't be policed and I'm not to ask everyone for a replay, if people chose to do it or not it's up to them.
But I do understand what your saying.

PS one more DIV 2 win for you and you will be in DIV 1
