1:11.110; Tuner 5's tune Driven By Bass Addict

Most Consistent Wydopen 2.116
 
All tunes were tested at Mid Field Raceway, Time, Weather set to default, at 525 PP on Sports Soft tires.
ABS 1 used. ALL other aids off.
All cars were driven 10 Laps, or until I got what I felt was the best overall lap I could get, which ever came first, due only to testing time limits. Sorry I normally go for best I can get, but had to short the testing to finsih it on time.

Tuner #1
Lap Time;1:15.430 DC Rank; 11
Impressions; Solid, mostly stable. Left foot braking required. Get it all right and keep it smooth this car is plenty fast. Put a tire off or forget to left foot a turn and you get to say hello to a wall. Driving this car will improve your braking technique. Saved for later practice. Well done sir.

Tuner #2
Lap Time;1:13.784 DC Rank;2
Impressions;Fast, stable, and easy to throw into a corner. After driving Car 1, this was a walk in the park, using my improved left foot braking I picked up from car 1 I was able to smash this car around the track with little effort. Very very well done sir.

Tuner #3
Lap Time;1:13.557 DC Rank;6
Impressions; I will say this, this car and I didn’t get along. It wanted one way I wanted another and yeah, it was a fight. We finally agreed to disagree on the fast sweepers, I relented in the slower turns and it relented in the fast ones and we put a decent lap together. The tail kept stepping out on me at exit if I pushed too hard, and it would dive in the slow 2nd gear turns. Turn in was great, mid corner was excellent, exit that was problematic, if I got it right, it was fast, I got it wrong, I found I got a great view of the track I had driven over. Good car, just not my style.

Tuner #4
Lap Time;1:15.040 DC Rank;9
Impressions; This car was surprisingly quick despite it’s weight. But I could not hold the extra speed I gained from the added power in the turns so the car ended up being not as quick as I would have liked from it. The LSD was very interesting, it worked very very well.


Tuner #5
Lap Time;1:13.333 DC Rank;7
Impressions; This was an interesting drive. Like all the softer set up’s it would roll over it’s own tail with late trail braking. But unlike the others it would snap back with some serious BLOR. This is what cost it, it couldn’t take the chicanes flat out like car 6 could. It’s a good tune, with a couple of damper tweaks it would be a great tune.

Tuner #6
Lap Time;1:12.746 DC Rank;1
Impressions;This car had all the good stuff from cars 2 and 7 with only one fault, If I cooked a turn it would weight shift me into a spin. Solid, fast reliable, I could drive this one all day. Great job sir. Great job indeed.

Tuner #7
Lap Time;1:13.080 DC Rank;3
Impressions;Fast, stable and forgiving, mostly. If I was on line, this was a very quick car. If I got even a little bit out, I would understeer and loose loads of time. I had to spin out issues with this car unless I pushed way to hard in a corner and just lost it and even then I could recover it most of the time. Well made sir.

Tuner #8
Lap Time;1:14.725 DC Rank;10
Impressions;Out of the cars with high levels of camber this was the best behaved at entry, but mid-exit it was like car 1, baby it or spin. Try as I might I couldn’t hold it flat out if I was turning at all, this cost it on the straights. Overall good car. Does what you tell it, just have a feather foot. Which is not me :lol:

Tuner #9
Lap Time;1:14.613 DC Rank; 5
Impressions; This is a TT style car but not quite. It lacks mid corner speed due to understeer, but only in the mid speed corners. I couldn’t throw into a turn or floor it out like I could in Car 2, but this is a still a very quick car when driven right. Like all TT styled cars, drive it it’s way or it’s the wall for you.

Tuner #10

Lap Time;1:13.256 DC Rank;4
Impressions;This like car 9 was a TT type tune. And just like it, it lacked mid corner grip which was it’s downfall. It was fast, but only if you were dead on line. Off even a little and your turn was shot, I think a rear wing and little bit softer front end would have done wonders for this car.


Tuner #11
Lap Time;1:13.613 DC Rank;8
Impressions; Good solid car. But exit grip was lacking which hurt it’s lap time. This was the best car at entry it was the most stable I could brake late all the way into the apex, but I couldn’t jump the throttle had to feather it in and that slowed it down a tad.
Thank you for the review. Great job testing and glad to see your PS3 is playing ball once again. close event considering the challenge you set so well done for that!
 
Thanks to all the reviewers so far! This event was fun to tune for, hopefully we'll have another review or 2 crop up before it ends... Thanks for putting this one together @Otaliema!

I haven't had a lot of console time lately with my new job and with the weather improving and warming up my weekends have been filled with fixing/riding dirtbikes! Hopefully I'll be able to make some time to participate in the next FITT event. :cheers:
 
Well I'll close it down in the morning to give @lBt_33, @Grippy and @xande1959 a chance to post and update their results.
@xande1959 i'm not holding my breath with the bug he got hit with, he has more important things to worry about than updating his DC scores. I could go out on a limb with them and rate them based on his scores but I don't want to put words in his mouth on that one.

@coryclifford @TheInfamousJEW6 @shaunm80 Thank you gentlemen.
 
Hi all !

This week, I had a full day on a military camp with my school. Very pleasant, I discovered a lot of things about the army, police, firefighter and more ! We were 14 team, each team composed of 10 students. There were many workshops and one was the obstacle course... I was running and my knee decided to go away, causing my fall. I have been examined by the military doctor and tell me my knee is sprained. Here is the reason I can't continue the testing and just can't play... Hope I will come back very soon but it's the third time I have this... !

@Otaliema , sadly, I have to withdraw for the testing... One day maybe I will finalize a testing...? :(:guilty::confused:

That is a very good reason to not finish testing. I do hope your knee heals fully and correctly. I sprained my left knee twenty years ago, I can still tell you when a storm is coming and how big it is.

I hope too, and it's my left one too ! But I had an MRI and saw that I have some problem at the patella, which move weirdly and rub on the cartilage... Great ! :lol::lol::ill:

See if they will set you up with physical therapist get that problem sorted out now while your still young.
 
I pretty much recovered fine without therapy from three sprained ankles, but it was when I broke one into three pieces and didn't do any therapy was there then a movement problem.

Sprains are nothing but an inconvenience. :D

That's why I'm not so reassured, I'm young but I have already this, it looks like I will need a titanium patella for my 40 years old birthday :lol::lol::lol::nervous:

Make sure you listen to the doctor and follow the stretching/strengthening routine (if you weren't told anything then give it a google), I did a fair bit of damage to mine in school and now the older get the more I regret not letting them heal :(

Your just an adrenaline junkie ani't ya?
@lBt_33 Cory is right sprians normally don't have long term issues. Mine was a major sprain, ligament sprain that's why I have issues twenty years later.

Ok people's gonna call this event, LBt is down w/injury, grippy is MIA and Xande is down sick. I'll get final results posted here in a bit.
Anyone want to take a shot at guessing? Even if you didn't test tuning style can give away a tuner.
 
I'm going to guess on 2 tuners....

@coryclifford = Tuner #2.

@Ridox2JZGTE = Tuner #1 or Tuner #5.... Hmmmmm Tuner #1

I'm sorry for the delay in posting the winners and closing the challenge. My weekend was a bit more hectic than expected.
First I'd like to thank everyone that tuned and tested this event. The open testing format worked well from what I gathered from the testers that completed the testing. So I may do it again for the track but I think the huge PP range on the car is what made this truly hard for the tuners. If you got the car working above 525 it didn't do so well below 500, if you got it working well below 500 it was a hover car above 550. So the winners here are truly great tunes.
A bit thank you to @Bass Addict @Wydopen for testing this event.
I hope @Grippy, @xande1959 and @lBt_33 recovery quickly and get back up and thier feet quickly.
