Re: Budget Speed

I think it's OK to specify a single time train. On that note I do think the discrimination calls were tongue in cheek!

Nobody's made an AWD only challenge. I think I will do that heh.

Re: Budget Speed

May I suggest to specify a minimum size or usable bodies?

Sometimes it is about restraint when you build a car, I think mine is going to be dead last on almost everything but it would be a fun day to day car IMO :)

I've managed to make one under $10,000, but it looks like it will be eaten for breakfast by your car. How did you manage to get it under 10k?

Also I guess it doesn't matter what we set our MSRP to? Mine is going to be like an upmarket GT86, so will have similar specs but cost a bit more for the same performance...

Looks like ours will POSSIBLY be similar then, I went more for a MX-5 type of car, should be interesting but I still have issues with tuning the handling, tend to just use the presets and let it be.

Re: Budget Speed

At the same time, it would make sense that if you don't specify the rule, you can't refuse entries, which is basic tournament operations so :P

Re: Budget Speed

I agree with that strop but to get that thing under the $10k limit there has to be corners cut somewhere, that is possibly where a more "sensible" car would be able to squeak out something, like MPG or cornering. I honestly cant wait until this starts :)

Re: Budget Speed

No limit on production units? Because if i up some quality sliders things get cheaper and better and only the production units go up. Can i just put them at +15 without getting a penalty for the big amount of production units?

Re: Budget Speed

Is that no to the first question, the second question, or both? (Of course it wouldn't make sense to be an answer to both because that would entail a contradiction :P )

I think it's a no to the whole concept! Automation charges the player labour costs for every PU generated so if the original question was "So, since you stated that the cars budget was $10k MATERIAL cost then can I go nuts on the sliders since they seem to only affect PU's?" then the no would refer to the sliders usage but since TOTAL cost takes into account PU's then the QUESTION is invalid! :lol:
