Re: Automation Airfield Lap Times

It's real easy to run something pushing 800+HP with that size, but I found it more interesting trying to keep within the constraints of what would actually be something I'd run in a car doing endurance races. Spent basically 2 minutes changing to more power, but found myself kinda bored doing so. The prior engine was something that I wanted to get to minimize weight, maximize economy, retain MTBF, and keep within a nice power range (around 450HP). I stuck that one in a car for kicks and found it reaching 188+MPH and still getting ~35MPG.

Re: Automation Airfield Lap Times

Well what I meant was for the race class a 380lb engine with 500hp is on the low side, at the same time the hours are high for a production class, maybe I'm wrong but it seems like a engine for a limited run track day chassis. Either way we'll all find out by the weekend when the tracks are up and cars are pouring in.

Re: Automation Airfield Lap Times

I made a full-size luxury car that ran it in 89.xx seconds. I'm uploading it to Youtube (more of an advertisement, not just the lap). Obviously, this is a production car.

So that will get the ball rolling!

Re: Automation Airfield Lap Times

Is their no restriction on year or part quality? I would have assumed there would at least be year classes so that its not just a challenge to see who can tweak a 2020 car best as possible.

You can't make a car from any later than 2014. Cars from the future will not be counted.

Well at the moment I'm not getting any submissions anyway. But once the leaderboards start filling up, I may add it in the future.

Re: Automation Airfield Lap Times

I'd be making some cars to run on this track if it wasn't for the fact that I'm working on Road Atlanta still. I think I got an initial version ready to go, so I'll probably get a very slow first car of the company to run the track.

You have semi-slicks there.., I think would be better if they were only for race cars (due that we have no proper slicks) :)

I'll accept your entry this time, but next time send me the entry as a PM. It says in the rules that entries not made by PM won't be counted, it just stops this topic being flooded with irrelevant replies. :)
