Welcome to Week 15 of the GT4 Tuning Competition. Here is everything you need to know to participate.

How it Works

I usually start the competition every Tuesday, listing the name of the car you are to tune, and which track the settings will be tested at. You will not have to tune at that track, but it is highly recommended, since the judges will be testing there.

The judges are:
  • GT40 MKII
  • 2078TM
  • Dark Elite
  • To Be Announced
Once the judges are finished testing all the settings, they will rank each of them on the following categories:
  • Turn-in (entry to corners)
  • Mid-Corner response (whether the car under/oversteers mid-corner or holds the racing line well)
  • Corner exit (how quickly you can exit a corner whilst staying in good control)
  • Stability (rear end staying in line, car not 'jumping' or feeling skittish in turns)
  • Grip (start-offs, how much power can be used without the drive wheels losing traction? Does the car oversteer excessively?)
  • High-speed controllability (whether the car becomes 'frantic' and turns far too sharply at high speeds)
  • Handling while braking (are you able to easily turn the car while braking, and without going into oversteer?)
  • Acceleration (how good is it? Is there a lot of traction while doing it?)
Each category will be rated on a scale of 10 (with 10 being the best). Once the ranking is complete, all of the seperate ratings for a set-up from each judge will be compiled together for that one set-up. This is done with all the other settings, and the one with the highest ranking wins.

The judges will also write a mini-report about the settings, and how they felt driving them.

What to Tune, and Where to Tune At

You will have to tune the Bentley Speed 8 or Audi R8 @ Circuit de la Sarthe I (the chicaned version). You must use R2 tires, and no ASM.

Rules

  • No ASM, ballast, or nitrous is allowed.
  • You can tune the car in any way you wish, as long you use a reasonable amount of parts (ie don't slap on a sports suspension and a 1.5 LSD and expect to be judged)
  • You must list every single part you used in the PM to me with your settings. Failure to do so will result in a deduction of points.
  • You must PM Me your settings, do not post them here. PM them in the following format:
Code:

Good luck!

 
S3's? I thought it was R2's for the race cars?

This looks like a good week for me:tup: I think I might have a good chance of winning

Oh good Lord...

Shame, S-series on an R8 would have been interesting :D :lol:

In a crazy sort of way...

But... there's absolutely no way we can run two cars. We can't judge two sets of submissions as it means double the time, and we can't test the setups from both cars on one - they're just too different. What are we going to do? It has to be one car or the other. :boggled:

DE
 
Too different?? I was sure The Speed 8 was basically the Audi R8C wasn't it?? ('R8' with the roof that Audi was going to scrap till Bentley took over the closed roof project??) Though I could of course be wrong...
 
HAhahaaa!!! I really have to pay more attention...I wasted last night tinkering with my Speed 8 on N3's!!! :D .....Hold up! I have payed attention and now see its the Bentley or the Audi??? whats going on here?

The Speed 8 is rather similar to the R8C as far as mechanics are concerned, but try telling me the R8C is the same as the 2001 R8 :P
On a serious note, you only need to take a look at the 300mph Leaderboard to know that the two cars behave quite differently (namely, the Bentley is faster).

DE
 
Well aye, of course they don't have the same power plant, but I was lead to believe the chassis was very similar. I'd actually be interested to try an R8 setting on a Speed 8 come to think of it...
 
I dont like to say this but I dont think Im not going to take part this week. :yuck:

I have a crazy set up for the Bentley that kind of works but Im scared the judges will hate it, especially if its up against R8's. :indiff:

FEAR the mighty R8

All the setups I receive will be tested on Audi R8s. Sorry to say it, but I can't get a Bentley anywhere near quickly enough for this. :guilty:

zefff

Crazy I like, just make sure it works on an Audi! 👍 :lol:

Expect mine to be sent in later today:tup:
 
I don't get 'em until after the deadline, but thanks for letting me know I've got at least one setup to test! ;)

Just a quick note for everyone, make sure you tell us what car you were using to make the setup when you send in the final setup - that way, those judges who are using both cars will know which one to use :)

DE
 
Technically it isn't still open, sucahyo, but I've not received any settings yet so you might get in 'under the radar' ;) 👍

DE
 
DE, I was about to PM Duck just to make sure that through some glitch I hadn't yet received settings - but since you've not received them yet either then I'll just sit and wait.
 
I hope so DE, I think it's still open since usually Duck will lock the thread if the competition is closed.
 
I wasn't paying attention to the week number. I thought this was another comp after the Speed 8. Race cars aren't my thing. Hope it goes well for you guys!
