Welcome to Week 17 of the GT4 Tuning Competition. Here is everything you need to know to participate.
How it Works
I start the competition every 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:
- To Be Announced
- To Be Announced
- To Be Announced
- 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?)
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 Ford Falcon XR8 @ Nürburgring. 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:
