Just kidding. I'm going out with the wife in about an hour (with no kids ) so in about 13-15 hours (no KIDS ) I will wake an offical post, so be ready for that! Thanks again for all that took part

Giggity.

Also it appears someone broke the 3-way tie in the photomode poll.

Also it appears someone broke the 3-way tie in the photomode poll.

I got 9 votes. 9 divided by 3 is 3

And three is a magic number.

And last
Drivers Choice

Looks like Rustbuckets on the Riviera is turning out to be a huge success. I know this is hard work even if you only had to tune and drive. Great job setting this event up!

My Driver Choices

1st ACSR421’s “lil Ray” Corvette Convertible has to be my favorite car in this shootout. This was a tough call… I loved DigitalBaka’s Corvette (Voted for it in the Photo Comp. ) but it felt just a tad bit unstable on the lower speed corners. "lil Ray" is what I image a perfect handling pre-1975 sports car should feel like cruising this track.

2nd Prainano63’s Camaro Z/28 was my favorite of this shootout dominating Camaro’s. I found it had a slightly different feel that suited my driving style the best out of the cars. Even though I put down a faster lap in Rotary’s Camaro by 0.130s this would be my second choice.

3rd Snake55wildcat’s Fairlady 2000 wasn’t much of a surprise to me given how I was thinking about entering that very car for my tuna. I guess I just like rooting for the underdog.

1. Digitalbaka Corvette
2. Dylans10 Lambo
3. Tris_73 Mach 1

Hi Mate,

My choices for the driver's award are -

1. VTiRoj
2. Dylans1o
3. MotorCityHami

1st Dylans01
2nd ACSR421
3rd XDesperado

OK, so driver's choice.

1 - Dylans1o
2 - Praiano
3 - Tris

3. Cykosis
2. Tris
1. Dylan1o

1. DigitalBaka
2. Nighthaunter
3. krenkme VtiRoj

And the Drivers Choice winner, and Any Premium car under 125,000cr, with a score of 26
Dylans1o

Oh my... I think I may have overdone it

But seriously everyone this was an amazing event indeed, I had a blast with my tuning my Countach (I nearly choose the Camaro until my last lap on Cote D'Azur in my Countach) but seriously Drivers Choice, Photomode and fastest car winner!

I guess the saying "Irish eyes are smiling" is true.

Well I really enjoyed this event alot and I think my comeback went well.. Thanks Krenkme for hosting the event and everyone for being so friendly thoughout the competition!

[/Worst acceptance speech of all time]

well that's it... ...



Oh one more thing.
Slowest Average Time
The "winner" of the Honda Beat. The tuner that got "Beat" by all the rest is...

Snake55wildcat with an average time of 1'51:154

Haha, oh wow I don't know whether to be happy or embarrassed.. I guess i'll be both
I knew my car wouldn't win, but not as bad as this, but its the fun that matters, I took a gamble of entering a car completely off the wall and the wall fell with me
I have really enjoyed this little shoot-out (as this was actually my first one I have ever entered) and its been great to be here, I am definitely thinking of entering more of these types of events. Big thanks to all the drivers, other tuners and event organisers for this great demonstration of classic cars around a timeless race track!

I'd like to thank all the tuners for puting some great tunes together and to all the testers for putting in alot of driving and time with all the cars. Seventeen cars all within six seconds of each other, and the bottom two seperated by less the one tenth of a second. Great job everyone, and thank you all for making this shootout very FUN!!!!

THANK YOU!!!​

That's it.





all over.





Nothing left.










I don't care where you go, but you can't stay here.

Bye-Bye

[DaDog]

You sure about that fastest lap boss ? i could have swore that i saw a 1.42.xxx floating those boards before ....

 

[VTiRoj]

Damn, only 0.040 off RJ's average. I'll take third though, since it gets me a prize car.

Congrats to Dylan for the sweep. Bloody Lambo.

 

[krenkme]

Yep. I just tripple checked and you have the fastest. Unless I'm blind you can check for yourself if you'd like HERE
I think I got it right.

That was Jackthalad's Stratos time I think. Since Jack couldn't finish his testing, all of his times were removed from the spreadsheet.

I need to think of something to say if it is correct , i am speechless and thats a first

[C-ZETA]

Lost the Beat by less than a tenth D:

Still, perhaps I don't have to bear the shame of being last. After all, I was almost beat by something with ~20PP less!

Seems like my Europa was a good drive for most though. Know I shouldn't have risked the 4th-5th gap though...but to be fair without it you would have been hitting the limiter around the lap a lot so it's either that or a long gap. Kept the other ratios so short to preserve acceleration, which I needed given the mid turbo I elected to use. to all, congrats to Dylans, although I have to say I have no idea where your exclamation marks went in all that

 

[Akira GT]

Congrats to Dylan, although I have to say I have no idea where your exclamation marks went in all that

Thanks C-ZETA... I know right only 2 of them in the whole paragraph. I think my Countach ate them all! <--- There's another one.

 

[C-ZETA]

Heh.

Need to try one of your tunes again. Veedub 1200 would be my best bet at this point since now have a full modded one and need a setup for it, stat. Not gonna get it to look like yours this time though seeing as I used up my XJR-9 'paint chip' on it as well as yellow BBS RS wheels too. Have to say though, who would have thought it would sounded like a 458 with Racing Exhaust? Lol. Now you can see where the SambaBus sound comes from too

[Onboy123]

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!! I LOST!!! I AM DISAPPOINT!

Meh, that was expected from the off. But hey, good point, I am the dominate Goof after crushing C-ZETA in the overall results!

That aside, good job to everyone, even to those who missed out on the deadline, this has been one shootout that I will remember fondly.

Oh, final thing. Congratulations on the win, Dylan. RVR, back in town, takes the win in style. 👍

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Italian car won?

Oh well, it'll light itself on fire in a few moments.

USA is dominate.
