Tuning Competition - Week 2

[DuckRacer]

Welcome to the second ever Tuning Competition on GTPlanet. Here is everything you need to know to participate.
​

How it Works

I start the competition each Sunday, 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:

• PLmatt91
• Dark Elite
• GeorgeMorley
• De@tthwi§hOo

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 TVR Tuscan Speed 6 @ El Capitan. You must use S3 tires, and no ASM.

Rules

• No Driving Aids (ASM, TCS is OK) allowed.
• No ballast 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 rated high)
• You must PM Me your settings, do not post them here. PM them in the following format:

[Sprite]

Well submited my settings, I love this car as standard with road tires, but the aim is tuning, so ive done my best sort of

The only thing that im having trouble with is high speed cornering, it just want to go straight

Yes it is a bit of a handfull when turning in as high speeds, but if you tweak it you can get the understeer down a little, but no matter how hard I tried, I could not iradicate it fully. good luck.

[Mt. Lynx]

Cool car! Was really fun to tune out the understeer and minimize cornerexit oversteer!

 

[gregc]
