FITT Universal Tuning and testing challenge
Welcome to the FITT universal(adaptability) tuning challenge. This like most of my challenges is offbeat, but right up the Gran Turismo ally. One car, One tune, any track, any power part configuration.
All tuners and testers need to be familiar with the FITT Standardized rules In particualr rule 13;
13) Driver feedback, both positive and negative, is strongly encouraged and should be done in a constructive manner. Not all tunes work well for every driver. Personal attacks WILL NOT be tolerated and may result in penalties or disqualification at the discretion of the organizer(s) and also may be subject to sanction by GTPlanet Moderating Staff. Treat all participants and spectators in a respectful manner so that everyone may enjoy the event.
*This applies to feed back as well, You can be blunt but be polite about it.*
If you have concerns about the challenge, a tune, or tester reviews and feedback send me a PM DO NOT AIR IT OUT IN THE THREAD. If you choose to do so you will be warned and a PM will sent to continue the conversation, continued open thread discussion may result in removal from the challenge if you are participating as a tuner or tester. If you are not part of the challenge, please do not derail the thread. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Tuners, your goal is to make a car that will work on any track within the listed PP range on any of the three tires listed. You will have no prior knowledge of what PP, tires and track a tester will be using.
Tune allowances. The ONLY Change that can be made to the actual tune is the final gear to accommodate power and track changes. I would suggest you give common speeds in final gear number. eg 3.010 will hit 240/140 km/h/mph
The transmission could be an interesting challenge this time around. There are four options.
1: Tune a gear box. In this case the Tester would build per instructions. Than adjust the final to suit the track they picked and the PP they have been assigned.
If you want to tune one here are basic instructions here in the Non-Drag Racing Transmission tuning guide.
2: You can install a adjustable gear box but use ONLY THE TOP SPEED slider.
In this case the tester installs parts to reach the assigned PP and than sets the top speed to the track they have picked. No other changes are allowed.
3; You can install the close ratio gear box that's available. The tester simply resets defaults after installing parts.
4; Use the stock gear box. Like the close ratio gear box, the tester would simply reset defaults after installing parts.
Tuners I suggest that you give example power set up’s for a couple of PP’s and suggested max Power limiter use. These will be treated as suggestions and not use this set up please.
I will send you a PM with your tuner number after the tuning period has been open for one(1) week.
If we get a sign up after your number has been assigned. You may be re numbered.
Tester rules.
1; Test all the cars in the same conditions.
2; You can configure the power parts for the car however you want for each tune. Don’t be afraid to try a couple of setup’s to get the most from the car. Tuners may provide you a set up for a specific PP, you are NOT required to use it. The only PP affecting parts and settings you CAN NOT CHANGE is the weight and ballast amount and location.
All cars shall be Tested at the same track of your choice *see below for track rules*
Grip set to real.
Time default progression is set to 0
Weather Off that means everything related to weather is set to the lowest setting.
3;Rim size must be used, Rim type is not required.
Car Rules
All tunes shall be tested at
1; The same PP, as you are assigned.
2; The same Tire level you are assigned.
TCS = 0
ABS = 1
Track Rules
You may test at any track in the game that fits the following rules.
If the track has variable time and weather
Same time of day.
Weather = 0% (none)
Rain = 0%(none)
Surface water = 0%(none)
Change factors = 0/1(none)
No Kart tracks
No Dirt or Snow Rally tracks
No Tracks over 16 km/10 miles
Should a tester only submit a tune for the challenge AFTER they have received their PP and tire assignments, they will be re-assigned with a new PP, and tires if applicable. If they decline the reassignment. The tune will not be approved.
Timeline
Tuning
March 1st to March 17th
(I need a day or so to check last minute tunes)
Testing
March 19th to April 2nd
Before any “what about lap time average?!?!” arguments start. I will say this. With the tester rules in place. Any differences in the lap time due to PP or track will have the same effect on the overall average for a tuner as faster and slower drivers in a normal challenge.
There will NOT be a fastest lap mention in this challenge due to the track being open. Lets face it a blistering fast lap at one of the Nürburgring's will never be as fast as slow but solid lap at Tsukuba.
Tune submission, PP and Tire assignments
Send me the tune in the PM I sent your tuner number in. I will test build it, and post it. Images suggested but not required.Testers will be assigned a PP and a Tire that they will test all submitted tunes at.
To be fair, tires are assigned based on the PP.
445-484 will be Sports Hard
485-524 will be Sports Medium
525-565 will be Sports Soft
I will allow one Driver to drive a car at 565 PP on Sports Hard Tires. If you are up for a decent challenge in the driving department, Send me a PM volunteering for it.
I will allow one Driver to drive a car at 445 PP on Sports Soft tires. If you want to drive a car that is over tired, send me a PM volunteering it.
If a Max/Min or Min/Max is taken I will post which one has been taken, but I will not say by who. Lets keep that under wraps untill reviews are posted 👍
Tuner/Tester participants. You will be assigned your PP and Tires AFTER your tune is submitted and approved. You can be a Max/Min or Min/Max if one is still available after your tune is approved.
