Tuner/Tester Participation
Tuners may selected up to 2 classes to tune and due to the number of groups being used for this event, We (as hosts) would encourage you to join in with testing for the classes you are not tuning for. Testing is not mandatory and we will not be forcing anyone to join in with this element, but it would help us out greatly as we want to have a good spread of results for all classes.
If we are short in any classes, we may open up a third class that tuners can enter to give each class a good number of cars for testers to use. If we do open up a third class for tuning, I would strongly encourage those people to test at least one class of cars to create a large spread of results for all tuners.
Sign up for tuning/testing by clearly stating what classes you want to take part in.
Tuning/Testing Deadlines
Tuning schedule will be as follows.
Sports Class - 8/1/16 – 22/1/16
Old School RUF Class – 8/1/16 – 26/1/16
RUF Super Sport Class – 8/1/16 – 29/1/16
Open Track Day Class – 8/1/16 – 2/2/16
Tuners have 2 weeks from start date to submit their tune to the thread. Due to the nature of the event and the testing schedule, should anyone require an extension, contact us both by PM and we will see what we can organise.
Once you submit your tune,
We will consider it your final tune and no changes will be allowed, unless there is a problem detected with your tune when checked.
Testing schedule and deadline will be as follows.
Sports Class – 23/1/16 - 6/2/16
Old School RUF Class – 27/1/16 - 10/2/16
RUF Super Sport Class – 30/1/16 - 15/2/16
Open Track Day Class – 3/2/16 - 20/2/16
Obviously, if the event requires extra time for testing, or a rejig of the testing schedule, this will be changed during the event itself and all participants will be made aware of any changes.
Another thing to remember about testing these cars is to ensure after each test that you have set TCS to 0 and ABS to 1 as well as setting the grip level to Real. For some reason, these cars revert back to TCS 5 if you leave the Time Trial mode so be sure to check this before starting a new test.
DC Scoring for Sports Class and Old School Class
Scoring
We only have one request when it comes to driver scoring, rate the DC based on your thoughts, feelings and how the car made you feel when driving it. Be honest, noone will feel hurt. Also, please provide constructive feedback on the tune you have tested, whether this is positive or negative feedback for a particular tune.
Driver's choice - Each tester will score each tune on the scale listed below. Driver's choice scores will then be averaged across all testers. The maximum number of DC points that can be earned is ten points. Please choose driver's choice on a scale of 0.0 to 10.0.
Driver's choice scale:
10.0 among the best tunes you have driven in GT6
7 to 9 a great tune that could be a little faster if...
4 to 6 a good tune that needs a few adjustments to become a contender
Under 4 a tune that needs work (please be specific with feedback with any tunes listed here)
DC Scoring for Supersport Class and Open Track Day Class
For this event, we are testing a new form of DC. The testers will rate the tunes in order from 1st to 15th place. Where the number of tunes exceeds 15, any tune after 15th will not score any points. Testers will score DC for these classes in the order in which they liked the cars, and how much enjoyment they had from the tune.
The places given to the tuners will score the following points.
1st : 25 points
2nd : 20 points
3rd : 18 points
4th : 15 points
5th : 12 points
6th : 10 points
7th : 9 points
8th : 8 points
9th : 7 points
10th : 6 points
11th : 5 points
12th : 4 points
13th : 3 points
14th : 2 points
15th : 1 point
The winner of the DC category for these two classes will be calculated by adding up all the points a tuner gains. The one with the most points wins.
For the purpose of this, and all future FITT events, we will be highlighting Rule 13 from the official FITT rules and any personal attacks will be looked into, and resulting penalties will be at the discretion of the hosts as the rules state. For those of you who aren't familiar with this rule, here is the wording.
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.
Finally, Average Lap Time will be calculated as per the normal system. The best lap time achieved will be added to the scoring sheet, added together with the rest of the lap times and divided by the total number of testers. That will be the average time scoring for this event.
