Welcome to the seventh Tuning Competition on GTPlanet. Here is everything you need to know to participate.

How it Works

I start the competition every Sunday, listing the name of the car you are to tune, and which track the settings will be tested at. You will not have to tune at that track, but it is highly recommended, since the judges will be testing there.

The judges are:
  • Sonzilla
  • noobie 4 ever
  • Dark Elite
  • To Be Announced
Once the judges are finished testing all the settings, they will rank each of them on the following categories:
  • Turn-in (entry to corners)
  • Mid-Corner response (whether the car under/oversteers mid-corner or holds the racing line well)
  • Corner exit (how quickly you can exit a corner whilst staying in good control)
  • Stability (rear end staying in line, car not 'jumping' or feeling skittish in turns)
  • Grip (start-offs, how much power can be used without the drive wheels losing traction? Does the car oversteer excessively?)
  • High-speed controllability (whether the car becomes 'frantic' and turns far too sharply at high speeds)
  • Handling while braking (are you able to easily turn the car while braking, and without going into oversteer?)
  • Acceleration (how good is it? Is there a lot of traction while doing it?)
Each category will be rated on a scale of 10 (with 10 being the best). Once the ranking is complete, all of the seperate ratings for a set-up from each judge will be compiled together for that one set-up. This is done with all the other settings, and the one with the highest ranking wins.

The judges will also write a mini-report about the settings, and how they felt driving them.

What to Tune, and Where to Tune At

You will have to tune the Scion xB @ Infineon Raceway Sports Car Course. You must use S2 tires, and no ASM.

Rules

  • No ASM, ballast, or nitrous is allowed.
  • You can tune the car in any way you wish, as long you use a reasonable amount of parts (ie don't slap on a sports suspension and a 1.5 LSD and expect to be rated high)
  • You must list every single part you used in the PM to me with your settings. Failure to do so will result in a deduction of points.
  • You must PM Me your settings, do not post them here. PM them in the following format:
Code:

Good luck!

 
Can I assume that, as a PAL user, I am OK using the Toyota bB 1.5Z X version - identified as being the same as the Scion in this thread?

No Scions in the PAL version...

Read the first post to get a better idea of the procedure.
 
No need to double post, you can edit your 1st post and just pop thge new question on the end.

Anyway to answer you, a results thread for that weeks competition is created the following week. It houses all the marks, comments and disscussion from the judges and competitors. If you look in the list you'll see older results threads which, if you have a look will show you the format for results and how it works. You may also get a feeling for what the judges are after. :D

zefff is correct. Once the week ends, I PM all the settings to the judges, and they have a week to judge. Once I get all the ratings back, I tally them up and post them in a thread in this forum.
 
I'm hoping that the Scion xB and the Toyota bB are the same car, because as a PAL user I will be judging the setups on the Toyota bB. Just so everyone knows.

It probably is the same. Kind of like the Nissan Skyline Sedan and the G35.
 
Well, there is a slight difference there so I'm thinking more like Vauxhall VX220 and Opel Speedster. I think I've seen them claimed to be the same car somwhere on GTP, so we're safe to assume that there won't be any trouble with tuners or judges on different versions of the game. This is one of the situations where I wish all versions of the game were the same!
