Automation Super Go Karts [Final Results]

[strop]

Oh, a turbo MR car isn't necessarily the worst thing you can use. Front engined AWD are also potentially fast but much heavier. Let's just say that I have a fair amount of experience with this exact problem in the game, and one ought to be prepared for the fastest track times seen since the 'unlimited wings and lips' was nerfed from the game over a year ago.

[Madrias]

I still plan to place decently in this one. Small and lightweight were things I went for. Unique was another thing, and apparently my engine's less than 2 liters.

I updated the OP because I thought it would be a prerequesite of any community challenge that each user can only submit one car and the first properly working car that applies to all the rules counts. But it's in the rules now. I promise, this is the first and only change to the rules.

Kampf: *Sees competition* Ohhhh... Raquel! You might want to see thi-


Raquel: Not interested.


Kampf: Just have a quick look at the damn competition, ya damn woman!


Raquel: All right, all right, but I'm still pissed about you flipping my Group B prototy- *Browses through briefly, picks up the key words* Hold on.


Kampf: Well?


Raquel: Count me in, so long 4WD is involved.

Hope my entry works. Main PC did the engine, while my laptop built the car out of the steam mod only version of Automation... @_@

[Nirat]

I finished building basic concept f my car under this requirement but strange thing was NA version of my car can do a lot of faster lap time but I have to go for Turbo because weight/power ratio
I will try to overcome this issue before summit it still got no clue how to do it

[strop]

NA cars are frequently more driveable than turbos and will be able to corner and exit corners faster, as well as attack bumpy roads faster. Less peak torque also makes for lighter gearbox. So on technical tracks you'll find the NA cars are superior, but will likely lose out on high speed tracks.

It is indeed virtually impossible to find a frame with enough room for an NA engine to match, but small enough for the weight to be sub 1000kg. If somebody finds how, I expect they'd be a real threat!

Found it! running a naturally aspirated 8.2L 1000 HP V8, and just for the added challenge it makes it with pushrods and is still emissions legal.

[DoctorNarfy]

What Possibly? 8.2 Liters? Naturally Aspirated? What freaking car can fit an 8.2 Liter V8, Fit Within the Wheelbase, and still be light enough to compete? This, I gotta See.

[strop]

I only managed 999hp... where's that last 1hp!? Can confirm though that you CAN shoehorn it into a legit entry, though I would add that it isn't very practical...

[nialloftara]

I think you picked the wrong car then, mine has AWD

[strop]

Ooh okay I found the body you used. It's got great potential for sure!

[Kampfzerstorer]

Kampf: Err... Raquel?


Raquel: What is it, Dyno wrecker?


Kampf: Anyway... about our submission, did you retune the spoilers after you said you would deal with them after tuning the LSD?


Raquel:...


Kampf:...


Raquel:


----------------------------------

Yep, I forgot to tweak the spoilers back to where I initially intended to lol.

[nialloftara]

So my car is called the rapier simply because I altered a existing model in my inventory, but l should have called the Buffalo Mk 3, because nothing says hardcore Centauri track car like an 8 pack of velocity stacks proudly sprouting from the hood. I might be able to post a picture and spoil the mystery of my body choice later.

[TheTom]

If you wanna give away your secret, I'm not gonna hold you back. But there's still people out there who might be able to use that information to beat you at your own game

[Urbanliner]

Well, I ended up making my car unsuitable for the stats-revealing after the competition begins, because I uninstalled VMO's diffuser, dammit...
