Firstly thanks to N4HS for allowing me to bounce this idea off him, but now down to business. (Potential drivers and tuners read all the rules)
Touge Challenge
Sponsored by Red Venom Tuning
I'd like to announce the birth of a new competition for the tuning garages and private tuners alike. The aim of this? To provide a new challenge that isn't restricted by the rules and regulations provided in online competition currently, but to create our own to give us tuners a different challenge. Touge (for those who don't know, often refers to winding, tight road with lots of changes in gradient and so on, the ultimate test of car handling (often a mountain road). For GT5P we have our version of a touge style road in the form of Eiger Nordwand, and for the purpose of this event, we will be using the normal forward course.
Rules- Each car class division will have a set PP to adhere to, and tyres must be S3 or lower.
- Cars will be reviewed independantly by drivers with no ties to any particular garage, this means drivers participating in the Garage Showdowns for a particular team, can not be drivers for this. However those with no preference in the showdowns may be considered.
- Tests will be done in Arcade with the AI set low enough to be able to pass them without fighting for to many laps, preferable to be ahead by the start of lap 2 for the sake of ease and to reduce variables.
- Drivers will take note of sector times in the first section of the course (From the start-finish down the hill through the hairpins to the bridge). These times will be compared but are not the defining factor of reviews.
- Reviews will and must be based primarily on car feeling, handling, grip and stability during all of the lap, not just sector 1. The same amount of time must be spent with all cars reviewed, there is no set amount of time thats up to the driver, but it must remain the same for every car, no matter how much you love or loath it. Driving AIDs must also be off (accept ABS and racing line), and pro physics must be used.
- Reviews will also include a mark out of 100, and average will be made of all these ratings to give a overall rating leaderboard, as well as a leaderboard per class.
- Anyone may enter a car, but please, no half completed efforts, only serious, hard worked entries for the sake of the test drivers and so time is not wasted.
Submit set ups in a personal message, or a link in the personal message to the set up
The Deadline for this is the whenever we reach enough drivers, 5 drivers is preferable.

Besides, I have never tuned for Eiger before, should be a welcome change. 👍
It's not like they have to race on a set date, just in their own time. I could probably do some Touge 500 cars with the wheel already, I'm not bad with them.
