The No Driving Assist Tuner Challenge

[dr_slump]

Thanks a bunch JP I am still really clueless with good BB for testers, to the OP : is it possible to change the tune BB now ? I might lower it to 3/1 so the testers would have less to worry about locking up the wheel . If the OP allows BB changes, I will update the tune posted. So to all testers, my car = Stagea 25t is also shared by JohnnyPenso.

I'm fine with 5/3 as long as it's well balanced. If it keeps locking the, AND ONLY THE, rear tyres... then good night.

 

[Johnnypenso]

Great! You're already on my friends list if I remember right, aren't you? (can't check)

The GTP address is there, yes.

I know BB without ABS is highly individual, most of my FR's end up at 3/0 or 4/0. 4WDs vary but usually 2/1 or 3/1. Have to check with Fast to see if you can change it now.

Also, Fast I need a PSN ID from you. I sent an FR to Xande and everyone else listed in the Tuner post is on my friends list already.

If you go into my profile at some point and find Rido's car not there, it means I took it off share to test it and it'll be back up in less than an hour...FYI

I definitely had you on my list once, but I can't really tell if I "accidentally" deleted you because I couldn't remember who you are...

(you wouldn't believe how many people I already deleted just because I no longer knew who the 🤬 they actually are. )
I feel I'm getting old...

I think you are off the hook this time , I might have deleted you when I did house cleaning a few weeks ago sorry

If you are free, could you give the Stagea a lap or 2 with 5/3 BB just to see if it's driveable.

Can't remember anyway

I am, oh blame me for it, at work at the moment. BUT the great thing of my job is that as long as the machines run, I can do whatever I want. (again)
Working on two CNC mills at the very same time and alone ftw!

Is that the STAGEA wagon? I ran it with 5/4 and 5/3 she ran great, good set up, I would leave it alone. It felt composed and no real surprise other than how far you do need to get into the brakes (without locking up) It had me the most curious with the huge 525hp gap over 440hp and close kg numbers.

What kind of laptimes were you getting?

lol JBPS3 with banned PSNID Bro its 'FastAShecK' if it were to have access lol

Does anyone have his car on share? I'm not going to recreate it.

Nah, it's a little less dangerous.

Are you testing? I've sent out FR's to Ferraridude308 and GTPMcBride (GTP_ASRacing account). Other than that I've got no idea who I need to add.

Are you referring to the Stagea - my entry ? It's on share at JohnnyPenso

Yeah, I know.
I was asking for Fastasheck's BMW M3 GTR entry.


EDIT ---------------------------------------------------



Ahh how awful! I simply hate to hotlap AWD cars!
Tested Ridox's Stagea and did only a 2:08.392. Damn, this car is apparently good for 2:07.
It suffered a little from understeer and the brakes felt a little weak (2/1).

Is 2/1 the correct balance now or is it still 5/3?
However, I took some additional time and tested different brake settings:
2/1 - a little weak (could hardly lock), but not bad for the most drivers.
5/3 - too strong, you tap it a little and the brakes immediately bite like mad. Would probably work with racing tyres, but not sport tyres.
4/2 - really good, for the ones who like it aggressive.
3/1 - by far my favourite; rear still brakes enough, but especially the front and seemingly the rear too to a certain degree snatch quicker than with 2/1 - 2/1 would be better with tire wear on though.


EDIT 2:
No worries, I'll write a feedback for every car I test in this shootout. This above is just to give you a brief glimpse of your car's performance.

 

[VTiRoj]

If anyone needs to add me on PSN, just send me a PM here so it sends me an e-mail reminder. I'm not really on the PS3 that much when I'm not tuning. 👍

3/1 BB seems to be the perfect just like I was thinking it would be, I am waiting for fastasheck response about changing my BB tune.

Did the car behave badly that it may cause you to hate hotlapping in it I am glad it could get into 2:08, I was expecting low 2:10

No, just the usual AWD flaws and some understeer, which is typical. The car didn't feel that bad actually.


EDIT -------


Did some laps in Rojjie's NSX. As expected a really nice car, although it has one big flaw... (it would've been clearly faster without that weakness)
However, I wasn't surprised to burn the at date fastest time into the tarmac: A sweet, but not too amazing 2:05.696. It's a NSX, what shall I say?

 

[OK8]

I would be also very interested to test these cars, so if you're still in need of testers, you can add me to the list.

Thank you for answering the invite OK8 we all look forward to your excellent test drive results . In the mean time, you might want to send FR to tuners. My car - the Stagea is hosted at PSN : JohnnyPenso. Other PSN id tuners to add : RoJJieE , Ziz528 , xande1959 , Praiano63.

@Fastasheck : Please let me know about the BB changes, and update on the tuner list and tester list with their PSN id to get the testing on the way smoothly

 

[praiano63]

Need to inform in post 2 that my Miura is shared by VTiRoj. I can't add some new friends till day 23 +-
If new testers that are not in my friend list need to test my yellowbird , somebody will have to build it too....

Thanks again.

Wait…we're submitting tunes now, right? I'll have the RS4's new BB posted ASAP then. Completely forgot.

I'm going to guess you mean the downforce, or how the downforce is excessive and how I could've used the extra PP to increase horsepower? Both of which I would agree with, but for my first venture into using no ABS, I wanted safe handling over pure speed.

Nice time too. 👍

It's not the downforce, although that's one of the things I'd probably change.

Oh.

I guess I'll wait for you to reveal it later.

A question to trackripper: Is it a "feature" that your RGT always tops out on the start/finish straight?

 

[trackripper123]

Transmission-wise? Yeah, I optimized the gearing to be as short as possible for the track.

Wondered because I get stuck in the rev limiter at the end of the straight. Kinda helps to find a good braking point though.

Probably means you're coming out of the final hairpin faster than I was so you're picking up more speed down the straight.

 

[dr_slump]

Seems so

RS4? Where?

 

[FastAShecK]

I'd rather not accept the change as it's well past deadline, any tuning testing should of been done before. I need to keep that a tight rule or loose changes may get requested by others.

Deadline for testers will be extended a week to aloe more iltime and more testers to join.

Sorry for my low presence I was supposed to have the two weeks off work but stuff happens and I'm stuck on the grind. I will pop in as much as I can.

Please if anybody can build and share my Beemer I would be thankful.
