Paddy infect the hub with the Elise 11 bug ,
So i can't be an exception
No tune div 1

No tune div2 update

And a vid from the king challenge , close but not enough


Trying to bring down the time in 25k with my " cub" was almost impossible and the reason for that was the damn gearing in that %*£¢≤@#\% Eclipse , from 4 gear goes at 6th in a sec. when you are in AT and always bog down .
So i had to use MT as i can to shave a bit of time.
Of cource i messed up cause am not use to that ,but even that way the cub went quicker
25k update

 

[Nismonath5]

My main problem in the no tune challenge is the damn traffic. Getting past them quickly and effectively even though they have no business even being on a track in the first place!

I'm still pushing though, not throwing in the towel yet!

 

[Nismonath5]

Well that was a hard fought run.. @paddycars1 how the heck did you manage to go so much faster??? Maybe you're @Vic Reign93 in disguise!

[RMan72]

No Tune - Final Entry

Worked hard for these times, finally got a good opening lap and 3 laps within 0.1s of each other in the low 1:39's.

@smoothbore12 how does that song go, oh yeah 'I do like to be beside the tree side, oh I do like to be beside the trees'

 

[bjl23]

What a finish to the NO-TUNE CHALLENGE DIV 1, @RMan72 running it in by showing us his progression times, nice time by @lfm58 and @paddycars1.
@paddycars1 with the DIV 2 win, he is clearly a DIV 1 racer but give it another week before I fast track him into DIV 1 just to see if it was Irish luck.

@RMan72 choose the next DIV 1 car
@Paddy choose the next DIV 2 car

We had 4 entrants in the SMOOTH OPERATOR, I will post the replays shortly.

@smoothbore12 ‘s taxi takes the chocolates in the 2nd 25K CHALLENGE.

@lfm58 ‘s Lotus was the pick of the bunch in BATTLE#13

And lucky last the ONE HIT WONDERS, @RMan72 topped the leader boards, and it sounded like @smoothbore12 loved racing at the Nürburgring.

[paddycars1]

[Nismonath5]

Stealing my $25k win once again @smoothbore12?!?!?! This means war!!!!!

 

[smoothbore12]

@paddycars1 ...... now you realize what Boogeyman " means" , the evil monster coming out the very last night and leave people empty handed .
Now he just ad one more " house " to visit and steal the candys from .

Gongrats to all for this heavy battle in div1 and for the 25k sorry Handsome but you didnt try enough.

Here the real face of @RMan72 when he start "visitnig" peoples houses

PS
Today ill go o the capital city visit my mother , race news from tomorrow.

 

[paddycars1]

Still kept the D1's in check that wosnt easy thats for sure guys

 

[bjl23]

Sorry for the late start guys, it's been a very busy day.

Firstly,
I apologize to @Racin510s I didn't add his DIV 2 time (6:31.669) and his G60 with the Alfa. I think this was due to the edit button.
So this doesn't happen again, if I like your post with a time posted on it that means I have updated the leader boards, so just post your times in a new post even if it means that you have to double or triple post.

Secondly,
@Racin510s was a little bit late with his SMOOTH OPERATOR entry, but since I didn't post the replays yet I've allowed it to count.

Right down to business,

ITS TT WEEK

The boogieman has selected the VGT TT track, who thought he liked fruit? Flesh yeah but fruit! Just between me and you I think he's a bit backwards.

The replays for SMOOTH OPERATOR are on post#3
There are also 3 invitational event running, 25K round 3 , an event that will compare us to the boogieman and some drift action.

The BATTLE ROYAL is all about the last 3 BATTLE winners, but this time you guys have control.

There us going to be no bonus car in the GONE IN 60 and no ONE HIT WONDER, but the amazing race starts next week, I'll tell you guys more about that later

Check out posts#1-5

For the new guys, TT WEEKS is only open for you guessed it 1 week.

@paddycars1
WHO NEEDS TUNING​

 

[bjl23]

I just watched the SMOOTH OPERATOR videos and I'll tell what, there all so good its so hard to vote. I think I'm going to have to watch then again.

PS @K3Tuning and @paddycars1 feel free to vote as well

 

[lfm58]

R16 INVITATIONAL #3 DRIFT (7.633)

 

[smoothbore12]

Handsome drift is your field....... go boy go,
We give you the right to fight both " tyrants" for all of us.

I must be very " Sick" !!!!!!
Today at Athens went to give my laptop for repair and i came back with a new one second hand ( dell 65 something) and just leave it in the bag .
Grab the pad and remember the good days of Daytona when i beat @RMan72 first time .!!!!!!!!
My f@$&3#@n cub flys there .

[bjl23]

BATTLE ROYAL
For this BATTLE I decided to get all cars the same HP and KG (484hp, 1100kg), fitted SS tyres and chose the RED BULL RING (short track).
Since there was only 3 cars and I've already purchased then I decided to tune them myself.

First up was the NSX,
Surprisingly this car was a bit of a handful.

Spoiler: tune

Next was the Lotus,
Very fast and didn't give me much trouble.

Spoiler: tune

​

 

[bjl23]

And finally the ZZII,
The car I thought was going to be the winner, boy was I wrong, and that's why I haven't won a BATTLE for a while.

Spoiler: tune

Forget to save the replay ​
