You need to be more specific when making a challenge. How will they be scored? How do you enter? When is the deadline?

Also this should be posted in the Community Challenges and Competitions forum! :)

You're using the 50s small 4 door, yes? That's the lightest vanilla body in the game, to be sure.

There's ways to make this even lighter, by using strictly the lightest components, and also, rewinding time to the earliest year that CF is available, as it gets progressively lighter. After all that, the minimum weight for that body would be 626.3lbs, that is, with a functioning motor, for which the transmission even exists. If you deliberately get rid of that by breaking the engine, then it's 620.6lbs, but that's all very academic since we're now essentially building a lawnmower...

There is now an even lighter body available, the K-car built by trackpaduser! Using that, with the same minimally functioning engine, the weight goes even lower, something like this:

Here it is!

There's something hilarious about attempting to make a k-car spec (say, 660cc engine) race around the track.

Open up ''Run'' on your computer (if you have windows) and the write %programdata% and hit run.
Then look for the folder ''Automation'' and click on it.
when in the file go to assets then meshes.
There you will find the folder ''cars''. click on it.
(this is for the k-car only.)
Go to ''front'' and then ''small'' and put in the file for the car body.
then start your game!

hope this helped! :P
