Historic Road Racing Homologation Hot Lap Challenge & Tuning Comp at Road Atlanta (Results In)

Worth ago I think plz put me down for the 71 ford falcon phase 3

If there’s still a 65 Mustang free I’ll give it a go. No idea what I’m getting into here. I’ll probably log in tonight and regret my choice, ha.

HLR Mick & l Holty l = in.

Results post updated with the current lineup. Still no AMC Rebel (#1 on the LB the last I checked) nor two typically very strong contenders the Torana and Cougar.

Are we allowed to run are own cars as drivers or do we have to use alternative drivers?

Absolutely - Any driver can drive any car. I only limited to two entries per car on the tuning side to make sure we got some diversity. My intention is to drive all the entries my self and post my list of unofficial times so everyone at least gets some feedback. Hopefully we don’t get too much herding on the drivers side. I would encourage every tuner to submit their fastest lap as a driver along with the tune. I would like to accept saved replays to account for the fact that a driver may have already put up a faster time with another tune but I haven’t figured out how to verify the tune without being able to download it from the LB. Anyone have an Idea?

So after many years away I’m back, time to see if I can remember how to tune.

I dont know anything about the cars in this division so sign me up for:

1973 Ford XB Falcon GT

Do I need to let you know when the tune is up or name it something specific?

I will also enter as a driver.

@CXR ELITE UCCIO - Welcome back, you are in - post here when the tune is finished with whatever you decided to name it. Per OP make sure "RA-HLC” is in the description.

Cheers dude. I’ve thrown something together under the name RA-HLC LIGHT but for some reason tune sharing isn’t working at the moment. Will upload later.

I went for ultralight build with a stock block. It needs to be driven very smooth with wheels in line but will carry big corner speed.

In FTW, I’ll take 1970 Cougar Eliminator

Thanks for putting this together!

I’ll grab 69 Charger. I dont expect to win but I just love that car.

Just a stupid little question, Where are the leaderboards? Just wanna compare a bit before I submit me car.

@Juggs,

Free Play - “X” to Select track - “Y” to pull up the LB for that track then just like FM6. The replay files are there so I’m hopping it is just a bug that we can’t select them to view or run against. My attention span is going to be short lived if this was some terrible by design blunder on turn T10’s part. I saw your time but wasn’t able to get the tune. Please confirm that it is shared.

For everyone else I have noticed that if you are in Free Play you can make changes to the tune. As long as you save the tune before you run it and post a new PB you can share it at a later time and it will post to the LB as available for download. If you save after setting your best time there is no saved file to link to the LB. Apparently if you rename it later your tune will change but the shared file on the LB will keep the original name just like FM6.

@MARsSPEAD - Welcome

I noticed that for some reason it didn’t share so I took it down, and shared it again.

Watch the replay (on my storfront) you should be able to get the telemetry up, so you can see how I drive it (it’s on sim steering) the fastest lap is 4th lap (out of 5 laps)
And it’s 1:37.xxx not 1:36 =)

Thanks I’ll check as soon as my kids go to bed :slight_smile: Time corrected - I had 1:36 on the brain LOL. Glad to hear sim steering is working for you, I switched back to normal steering until T10Driver confirms the sim steering bug has been fixed (DUST’S 55 page! FFB wheel thread). Supposedly the normal steering code isn’t active with the wheel and there isn’t supposed to be a difference for wheel users.

UPDATE ON THE LB - you have to be in a Historic Road Racing Homologation tune of C475 to view the LB or else you get some useless overall LB, sigh…

Welcome back CXR ELITE UCCIO

Cheers dude! Great to see you’re still doing the rounds.

Remember testing your huayra when fm6 started. Still shaking from it!

Well I ain’t the best tuner or driver here,Someone can put that thing in to 1:36’s cause I was under a tenth off from it.

Car used: Dodge Charger R/T -69
Replay Shared: Tune drive comp
Tune shared: under my name

Last time I checked, 1:36 something was the top time! Nicely done!

Tune for the Mustang Boss is shared with „RA-HLC“ in description.

I‘m far from 1.36s so it will probably get stomped by the competition lol.

I’m not a good tuner but I LOVE muscle cars and I love trying them out…will keep up with the thread, pick up as many tunes as I can and give feedback here. I used to get some “decent” times on leaderboards so I hope to do these justice.

Excellent - I’ll try to keep the results post updated as the tunes and times come in.
