If it turns out they limit TT's to no tuning from now on as a way to combat the plague of hybrids, that's just a mistake in the other direction with a bandaid solution. Throwing out the baby with the bathwater so to speak. 👎
We don't know if this is the way they are combatting the hyrbids - it's only 1 more TT that is tuning prohibited and it's been since the hyrids starting to spread like a virus. Wait and see if it continues and if it does it will ruin the Seasonals even more - the event seasonals are ruined now from SRF being forced on, on every one since Christmas. Now people are complaining that there is tuning prohibited TTs because they can't win by using a magic tune, or by using a dirty oil 2J. I think people just like complaining - this is not only a way of addressing the Hybrids, but a way of addressing the use of cars like the 2J, which have been complained about in TTs numerous times over numerous threads.
It seems that whatever PD do people will complain, and they complain again when PD don't listen. They just can't win - people were praising the Corvette C7 TT that was like these ones, but there were also many people complaining. But at least there wasn't dirty oil cars that were topping the leaderboard like the 2J or the GSX-R/4. And I remember during the time that TT was live people were hoping that this was the direction that TTs were going in, more tuning prohibited TTs with stock cars provided by PD.
And as has been said on the first page, this thread is not a place to vent about the fact that this TT is tuning prohibited, and not a place to discuss the fact that hyrbids won't be able to participate and that cheating will not be allowed in this TT. Too right, this is not the place for it, as per usual the discussion of hybrids finds its way into the conversation regularly and I think the more we discuss the more exposure they get and the more people will think they're cool.
But as for the TT I shall still give it a go - I like driving stock cars, and I agree that it does level the field - this time people won't be copying the top time's tunes or relying on their own and the only way to get higher up the leaderboard is to be a fast driver. People who say this doesn't level the playing field are wrong and simply have a different driving style to what stock cars provide and end up tuning a car to suit them, this often results in them not being as fast because they've had to compromise on certain elements to adjust to the car which could have made the car faster.
You will still have the fastest drivers placing at the top, but at least they got there with the same car and setup as everyone else - and changing the BB will not necessarily make you faster, it's just the only thing that will make the car most agreeable with your style and has always been a personal preference.
Now it's down to the driving skills. I like that....pretty much.
