BlueShift isn't that what tuning a car is all about. And isn't that analogy what any of the tuning options will result in.
Tree'd by Paulie.
No, it's what driving is all about. There's almost no dependancies with high/low gear setup, esp on 4x4, if the change is ~20km/h. But on times it's huge.
Tuners aren't drivers in this competition: they make their tunes to beat their personal records, not trying to break "world records" set by another setup.
Why we started all with S3 tires then. We should run all under the same conditions, so the same tires and gear ratio since that is only what ppl change going from track to track. It's "driver"'s likes.
Now that's just stupid, knowing what ratios to give a car is important for any tuner, and down the back of a straight a fast driver vs a slow one may only vary a few km/hr.
Let me complete "a few km/h that hit the rev limiter or not".
I'm a tuner, I can't drive fast, but I'm probably faster than mr anybody with my tunes that is all.
I can't turn around the hairpin before the straigth line. Imagine I enter that straigth line with 40km/h less than I should. Now say the diff is 21km/h at the end. I'll have 3 clicks less than I should so the competition is over.
Note that it's not over because I can't tune. It's over because I can't drive.
Am I a tuner or a driver ?
The other day I posted a setup that made 7:26 on the Nür with me driving.
Someone took it and put 6:09. Do you expect tuners to know what problems you can have at theses speeds and that kind of track mastery, or not.
If so, we need a few monthes for 1 tune on 1 track. Tuners tune, drivers drives. And guess what is the only setting drivers changes beside tires, it's the shifting so why do you say I'm stupid lol
The third thing I see is something not fair for little garages. I'm the only one who tests and run my car. You guys can count on two or more ppl to say "nah, give it higher/lower rev". This is unfair because this setting is critical for time improvement.
Anyway anybody knows where do we post our tunes ?
Just another Summer day in Australia. Maybe tomorrow.👍 I won't post my WRX tune in LDP until after the deadline in case I give someone any ideas, but I must ask, if during the testing the track leaves Trial Mountain, can the tuners at least be given the option to review their gear ratios?
