Opps!

wow, I got rekt by the lack of displacement, for sure. And by extension, lack of power and top speed. Also a smaller footprint. I'm fairly sure it was compounded by lack of power also impacting the sportiness score on top of everything that reduced the prestige.

Also, with all that power, I genuinely wonder how the car will stack up in a race. My entry, as usual, is relatively honed for good handling. Time to vote!

p.s. are we allowed to vote for our own car? I'll declare now that this will affect my vote.

[Lordred]

yes you may, if you like it, vote it.

Well, honestly, that's not as a good as I was hoping for. I thought a 191 would go farther up even with a different market. Downloading the market competition and checking the couple changes I made seems would have netted me a 100.4 which wouldn't have moved me up much.

I'm thinking I made it too expensive based on what Nialloftara posted the other day with 80% affordability (I had like ~72%). I do know I need to manage costs better while still putting up good numbers and weight too. My cars tend to get heavy and expensive quickly past a certain point. Or maybe, overall, it just wasn't as good as I thought. Still a lot to learn.

Good job guys! I can't wait to see the final places after votes and lap-times are factored in. Gonna need some time to go over all the designs, sure 5 votes is a lot, but its still 30 cars.

Awwww...this is not good at all! The V12 I started with was only about 3 points higher than the V8 I submitted....

Wondering how much cost effected mine and the others. heheheh

anyway.

im surprised that im the only SOHC that got so high

[ArnRno]

I know for a fact that the body I built suffered a 17% hit to its desirability for the old style, so, if I adjust, I should be about 8 places higher... Not too shabby for a quick and angry build.

[durk]

Old body, puny engine with the rougher of the two crank configs, forgot that hand made interiors were a thing...I'm surprised I didn't place last XD. I got close, though. Hopefully it fares well on the track and people are pleased with the looks.

My car isn't the biggest capacity engine, but had a great amount of HP.

[AirJordan]

yes you may, if you like it, vote it.

in that case minus one point for me because I thought wrong

[nerd]

Well, my car was not particularly good looking anyway, so I didn't vote for it.

[Lordred]

Not much time left to place your votes! I will be counting em up tomorrow after 4pm (PST) or so.



Do you guys think the keeping the Market secret till after the entry period was a good idea? Or would you rather I have the market I use be released to the steam workshop prior to the competition?

[thecarlover]

I think after is better, to keep part of the competition a surprise, much like any race and vote.

[strop]

Did it change the order of the results? If not, then I don't really mind either way. This way is good because the spread of the results is much narrower, and for a heavily weighted result that's a good thing.
