1975 Compact Turbo Cup (Final Race Results)

[BitTwiddler]

That CRX body is really popular.

[Leonardo9613]

Yes, I am sorry for having used it, but it is very good for a small fast car.
It is aerodynamic, light, has a big enough engine bay, everything you could want.

It becomes too monotonous, but which other body would I use?
The Golf is the only really viable solution, but it isn't as good as this.

[BitTwiddler]

Oh, it doesn't matter. Just found it neat.

[strop]

Yeah the golf body isn't as good... I couldn't even fit the stock mk.1 block in the golf body when I tried cramming double wishbones in there! So the dynamics of my car is going to suffer a bit!

(Not to mention I think I'm using -15 quality suspension... For the sake of power!!!)

p.s. after a little discussion, I could have made the car easier to drive around the track and therefore a bit faster by sacrificing about 10hp... but naaaaaaaah

Gryphon Gear (fictional company for Automation playing purposes) was founded in 2014, starting out as a tuning house and custom parts builder mainly for local (Australian) HSV Holdens (much to my personal distaste), until it broke into the extreme tuner and pro racing scene. You could loosely say that any tournament that allows for the tuning of high powered cars for racing is inspiration, as each of the core group of the company have unique interests and they as a whole now work on a wide variety of projects.

But as this one stands, since the year is 1975 I shall enter it independently, as part of my "tuner Golf" collection

This doesn't bode well for my entry... I was feeling really upbeat until Automation's Kraziest Tuner entered!

[strop]

Don't despair! As results show, Kraziest (while a title I particularly enjoy), rarely means fastest!

Also, if you remember what we discussed you should totally be a new force to be reckoned with on the track!

[HighOctaneLove]

I haven't had any cars run in any competitions yet that use the principles you've taught me so I cannot be sure that my skillz can now pay the billz!

[BitTwiddler]

Alright, we have 6 competitors so far (plus the reference vehicle). Some of these cars are leaving people only with pocket change in their budget, which is a great thing to see.

I was able to make something half-decent out of the 1969 compact body.

But yeah, the CRX body is just so good.

Here is my submission, it's the 1975 Tishillyman Avīci Tigris.

Mars Engineering enters the Competition with the ME Mungo.

You know, you don't need to put a spoiler on a front, a lip also has down force effects.

Not as much as a wing, though. Perhaps he had tested both and found that the wing made his car faster around tracks.

[BitTwiddler]

No, but I just thought I would mention it. I didn't know it did until I discovered it by accident.

[strop]

Given it's mer_at, I would say the use of the front wing is entirely intentional

As of currently, regardless of morphed size, the wings and lips still represent fixed arithmetic base values for both downforce and drag, depending on angle of attack as determined by the aero sliders. Also, exact position matters in how much they add downforce to the front/take from the rear, or vice-versa.
