• "The 24 Tires of Nürburgring" : September 02, 2013

[CharlieTuna]

SupaTuna GT Presents:  The Twenty-fours Tires of Nürburgring



Pick your choice of :

’02 Ford GT  (standard)
’05 Ford GT  (standard)
’05 Ford GT “no stripe”  (standard)
’06 Ford GT  (premium)



Any and all tuning is allowed but may not exceed 607pp.  Then slap on some Racing tires and you're ready.    

Racing will be held in an OPEN Lobby and will start promptly at 5pm EDT.  The lobby will open at 4:30pm and Qualifying will begin at 4:45pm.  After qualifying do not leave the pit area or you will be placed in the back of the pack instead of your qualifying position.

 

You can plan on pitting at least 5 times in the race; maybe more based on your driving style, but definitely at least five times.  All driving aids will be disabled.  False Starts engaged.  "Race for Real" mode.  Heavy Damage.  Heavy penalties.

Still you can expect some very goos times as we race around Nürburgring 24h for 12 laps (186 miles).



Also also, there will be prizes for the podium finishers.  

So grab some faulken tires, or any other kind of tires you choose and let's race!




This event is brought to you by upChuck Enterprises (what's upChuck?) and the great folks at Ninja Tuning & Testing Services.

Normal TUNA Wrules and Wrinkles:

Race Fast!  Race Hard!!  Race Clean!!!  Have FUN!!!!

Our event participation guidelines are very simple. We ask that all drivers race hard, fast and clean. Participants should control their cars as if they owned them and avoid in-race contact with others. If your actions disturb the forward progress of another driver we ask that you pull over or slow down and allow the other driver to regain his position ahead of you. Have fun!!!

I confused, how is that different from me qualifying?

You can plan on pitting at least 5 times in the race; maybe more based on your driving style, but definitely at least five times.  

So once every 2 laps if you are good or once every lap if you are me?

Charlie is just being kind and reminding everyone to not exit the track after they have a Q time. Because if they do they will start at the back of the grid. That's how it always works by the way.

Yes, I know.  It was a joke.

I is DOLT, and proud of it.

If i'm back from my weekend trip perhaps I'll see if I can work this in... though it may be difficult.

oh, and you have August 2rd in the description.  Confused me for a couple seconds...

Looks fantastic.

However, given how long it takes to complete a lap (around 8.5-9 minutes), it will be impossible for anyone to complete a complete qualifying lap.

[CharlieTuna]

Goos point.  I can open the lobby for at 4pm and we can qualify at 4:30pm.

Also also, I will fix the date.

It's gonna be funny seeing everyone qualify on bald tires

It's gonna be funny seeing everyone qualify on bald tires

Given I have altered the start to allow for 45minutes of qualifying; everyone should be able to get at least timed two laps in (though on somewhat worn tires).

warm-up; lap; pit; lap; lap  (granted this is if you opt for Racing Hard tires...)

We can also shit-can the qualifying idea and just let folks warm-up and have it set to "fastest first"...

[DudeTuna]

Slow warm up lap (to conserve the tires) then one hot lap is all it should take.

[CharlieTuna]

Based upon feedback; I am dropping tire wear down to FAST...

[GoesTuna11]

Lets keep it very fast, that's what I practiced for.  Can we have time change?

I would like to keep it on very fast also.
Please no time change. My eyes still are not great.
