Yeah, I'm a huge fan of V8s too, though mine is much smaller than yours. It's a trade off between weight and torque.

I call it... the Grizzly. Y'know, because it's totally not a really angry Fiat Panda.
Am I crazy? Yes. Am I going to be left biting the dust? Yes. Was it fun, making a superfast Panda? Yes.

And here it is!
The Snake
The fastest car (and so far, the only one) of the brand new Car maker, Meliora.
It's as fast as it is beatiful, some even say that is the spaceball-1 of cars. Sadly it's not ready yet and it needs some minor tweaks, and as soon as the CEO decides that there are enought photos of the car, the engineerings will start doing their job.

Meliora... always better

Ludicrous speed

Even if it doesn't win, well there's no such thing as bad publicity :D

Well I spent all day trying to build a car for this but after 6+ hours of tuning, saving, and losing work, I give up. It saved the initial build, but won't save tunings. Good luck to all those who could successfully save a fucking car. haha

The save file for my car was also deleted, but only after I managed to export it 8-)

It isn't deleting them. It just isn't saving them. I make changes to make the car better, but then when I close and reopen the car, it is back to the original save, including fixtures.

Might have somethign to do with the fact that there's now two fixture tabs. If you click between them, your car may change appearance.

Re: 2016 MRCSR Time Trial Series [ACCEPTING ENTRIES]

While that could explain the fixture problems, it doesn't explain the gearbox/tires/brakes/aero/interior/suspension problems which lead to the cost going back to $24k. I'm hardly the only person experiencing a bug with saving a car. Just sayin...

Re: 2016 MRCSR Time Trial Series [ACCEPTING ENTRIES]

Oh, I hate that saving issue. My only rather crude fix so far has been to take my Cars folder, back it up, and start from scratch (the backup is so you don't lose any cars you have already created. Could do the same by exporting everything, then cleaning the folder out) which, admittedly, is probably not the right solution, but it seems to work. I've also been following that one saving procedure that was posted in the Support area, the whole "build it to the end without using the save button, name the engine, save, then go to the last tab, name the car and trim, then save again" trick. It seems to work for me, but I get nervous after a while of designing.

I backed out of trying to do a couple other challenges because I was fighting the whole "Not gonna save properly, you'll load it up and get lua errors" glitch, which is the reason I started save-spamming, which seems to cause other problems. The problem being the bloody autosave feels like you have to schedule an appointment with a 50% chance of cancellation in order to save the car.

Something you could do, perhaps, is to make the car as you were intending, then let it sit a few minutes at the end tab, hit save, run it through the test track, and see if it saved. I tend to look in the folders for "date modified" and file size changes, personally.

I'm having the same problem here. In my case it saves everything, except the changes on the fixtures and the chassis :/

Oh yeah - the 599 TT goes around Green Hell several seconds faster than the TTX. Should be pretty good, I hope.

Ok, so I did say I wouldn't show any photos until after entrants are closed, but I'm about to go back on that seeing as everyone else has posted photos.

Here's a promotional photo for the Erin Tauga XR:
