Car Overview


In the third round you will have to build a...

1990 Entrylevel Car for the European Market


The european market is getting bigger with the german reunion and the end of the iron curtain... that means a huge amount of new potential customers. But the competitors are around the corner already... the Ford Escort, Fiat Tipo, Opel Astra and many more cheap cars. Small Sedans, Hatchbacks, tiny Coupes and Wagons... all different cars, but they are being sold at a cheap price in huge Amounts.

Introduction

The goal in the Themed Car Challenges is to build an Car that is reasonable for the specific theme it is entered into.
This challenge is not about making as much power as possible or other crazy-ass Cars. The winner will be chosen by the
judges, and that is you! You decide which Car you would choose, if YOU were the CUSTOMER. Be realistic about your choices!


Submission Guidelines

• The latest public release version is used for the challenges.
• One submission per user per theme. The PMed Car is your final and only theme entry.
• If a patch is released during a challenge, the entry has to be (re-)submitted in the latest patch version.
• After filling the spreadsheet with your Car's data, submit your entry via PM to Pyrlix, the TEC game-master.
• You must submit the Car by the last day of building time, otherwise it counts as not submitted and is disqualified.
• Scoring (Season 1): 1st place 5 points, 2nd place 4 points, 3rd place 3, 4th place 2 point
• If your Car stats in the sheet don't correspond to the ones in the submitted Car file, this counts as cheating.
• Don't allocate 2 slots at one time. Only 1 slot at once. Finish your work before you start the next one!

Voting Guidelines

Remember that you are the customer, and you want to get the best out of a car for your money.
Vote accordingly! Some examples for what kind of questions you should be asking yourselves:

a) Is all that power actually accessible, usable and not far too dangerous?
b) Will the Comfort break your back?
c) Does it eat your wallet?

Do the voting by putting your name in the "Vote" line below each scenario. You have three votes per theme:
1) "3MyForumID" is worth three points towards the placement.
2) "2MyForumID" is worth two points towards the placement.
3) "1MyForumID" is worth one point towards the placement.

If there is one or several names in that cell already, edit the cell and add your name: "2NameX, 1NameY, 2MyForumID"
with the score you want to give in front of your forum ID.
You are not allowed to vote for your own Car!


Season Format

The runtime for every challenge is one week and every season will have 4 events, i.e. a season is 4 weeks long.
There may be minor breaks in between due to holidays or unavailability of the game-master.
The competition weeks are structured the following way:

Car Submissions: Saturday, Sunday, Monday
Car Voting: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Challenge Wrap-Up and Announcement: Friday

wait.... sooo utility is not scored here? and practicality. i think that would make sense to be scored for this kind of market.
if not, then i dont think anyone would build and sedans or wagons because of weight, cost and fuel economy although they would profit from more utility and practicality scores


also catalytic converter?

[mer_at]

You want a refined 6 Cylinder engine?
You want a sporty little car?
You want an economical citycar?
But you don't want to get a stroke due to boredom?

Mars Engineering presents the Heraclides. A little, affordable, fuel-saving, yet sporty car.

Equipped with M.E. VLEV Technology for low Emissions.

Got quite late yesterday... practicality is added - and it could make sense to build a sedan or wagon - as long as its cheap and economical, why not?

And Cats: Logically yes... try making a car without a cat!

yeah. v12 on a cheap entry level........ that running cost must be sky high.........

[Riso]

That's the problem. It isn't.

[koolkei]

holy derp....... i just noticed the tables says kW and not HP....... all this time. i inputted HP number


luckily(or not) i haven't won anything. so it doesnt matter


so that's why i always have higher power top weight ratio against the competitor....

[pyrlix]

Well it does affect your insurance costs...
I usually make a quick check if all main car stats are okay, and if cost are put in correctly. When these are correct, usually everything else is.

And yes... that V12 is freaky.
