Bavarian Rallye Challenge: The Real Deal [FINISHED]

[Quintus]

Can engine MTBF be lower than 20000 km in engine editor, if MTBF in model editor is higher than 20000 km, or is this reason for disqualification?

[Der Bayer]

Just to be clear on this, there are NO restrictions on engine other than year, n/a or turbo with displacement requirements, and hours/cost? We can choose any configuration and components including race components so long as we maintain MTBF?

Yes to all. MTBF in the car, not the engine designer. It may be lower than 20000 km in the engine designer.

How do we determine MTBF in the car? The one displayed on the "Drivetrain" tab after engine selection? Sorry for the noob questions, but I'm still trying to figure out a lot about the Car Designer. Cooling and Aero are absolutely killing me. hahaha

Yes, that is the value you should be looking at (for now at least, until a proper reliability stat gets introduced)

OK, on to the next question. Driver Assists are not allowed. So no power steering, ABS, TCS, or ESC? Power Steering was pretty much a standard in 1992 I think. Not sure about rallye cars, however. Are any of these allowed, or am I in the wrong section (wouldn't be surpised if I were)?

Nope you've got it right, all of those are a no-no in this.

OK, removing them added about 1.5s to my times.

I hate that I missed the trial runs!

Subbed as to not lose track of this one.

Guys, make extra sure that your engines dont change their values when they are loaded. i have a 1800cc engine which, after it is saved and reloaded again, becomes a 1801cc engine. I asked Der bayer and this would exclude the car. I've now made it a 1799cc engine just to make sure I don't get any problems.


ps. Der Bayer, for some reason the photo of the car is not showing up when I highlight the model, but it shows up when you highlight the platform. is this going to be a problem?

[WildKarrde]

Just got an automatic update to 1362... so this must be the competition version?

Yes it is!

You may now send me your files. One full week to go, so take your time. Please double check the rules and "how to submit correctly". Thanks.

I present you my 2 participant cars.

The NADA Mishka



Is making good impression on others, has licensed engine from Banhammer Cars (thank you for this) and is very fast.

and the other participant for the 1100 Class is the

NADA Mirov 3000



Looks normal until you sit in and start the engine. It has massive V8 engine with over 300kW power and will blow your ears. Driving on the track will frighten you because of the very extreme cornering and speeds it can reach


Good luck everyone for this race!

Der Bayer,

Can you please put a list of entries once they start coming in, just like in the last BEC?

[Der Bayer]

Yeah, but today is a bit early. I will probably post the first list on Saturday and then update it daily.
