The Grand Tourer: 1971 (User Voting/Market Results)

[Lordred]

Oh, 4v was made all the way though the 20s 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s in race cars (Notice the word race) I know where are are coming from, but you are missing the spirit of the competition Leo, it is missing the forest for the trees.

The 3 examples we have of limited and not limited production Multivalve pre 1975 engines all have something in common. They are all Inline-Fours.

I will make a counter offer.

If players wish to use an Inline-4, they may use a 4v setup.

Rules edited to allow Multi-Valve setups for Inline-4 engine configuration. Last chance to ask questions about rules/contest them.

A competition with v6/v8/v12s can be amazing: not always the best car is the most powerful car.

A real fact: the 90s Ferrari V12 F1 it was the most powerful car, but needing much fuel and the chassis isn't the best of the grille.

I have never entered one of the challenges here, so forgive me if my questions are obvious. What are the rules on engines in terms of how they work overall. I have seen a lot of engines proudly posted in the engine forum that break under testing or are broken before they are even started. I myself had to retool all of my engines after a recent update because I noticed while they ran fine on the dyno, when I put them on the track they would backfire when I hit 3rd or 4th gear depending on the car.

So my question to you is, do you accept all entries or do they have to run clean without issue or is this somehow weighted?

Reliability is up to you to decide, you must give it adequate cooling and it has to get the fuel economy required but if you want to let it rev until the engine starts to come apart that's your call, remember 50% of your score is based on gt premium market value, even if reliability is not a heavily scores stat, it will still bring down your overall points, so balance it wisely.

[Lordred]

The competition is officially open.

Is anyone else running into this problem?

[koolkei]

uh yeah. unfortunately or maybe fortunately the year 1971 is one of the most optimal year for a hyper car

Indeed, same thing happening here. Both cars that I've made within regulations (one purpose built and the other a new trim of my company's flagships) had very green and pleasantly (perhaps stupidly) high numbers in that corner (and Utility Sport luxury). Even without a V12 its not difficult to make the greatest thing since sliced bread, apparently.

[Lordred]

As i've said, my market system will look VERY different from yours. I spent a few days building test cars, and having some built for me by others.

The default set of competition cars only gives you 1 competitor. The set I've made gives you 24, ranging from bad to great.

Does anyone have a clue what am I doing wrong because every 1971 car I want to build has max 165 tyres?

[nialloftara]

You need rims of 14-15 inch and a lot of tire sidewall size

[AirJordan]

I hoped there is a way around that Thanks!

[Lordred]

You can add quality to the tires to unlock lower profiles

[AirJordan]

Nice
Btw I got emissions: inf ---> well that escalated quickly

I have no clue how expensive should I go but it is fun
