Survival of the fittest [FINISHED]

[cpufreak101]

i have no objections

[KLinardo]

Ok, how about these implementeations?

...
We treat average and engine reliabilities separately, each by the rules stated.

I object to this provision simply because engine reliability is factored into average reliability. Therefore, less reliable engines will now be punished twice.

[acemaster25]

Does the damage stack between stages or is it only going to count the damage from the stage before it?

[squidhead]

Damage stacks and accumulates through stages.

Re: engine and average reliability, you can refer to my given formula as discussed on BurningBridges' AVUS contest for working out components reliability. However it is easier to work out when the ventilation is adequate. Is there a rule about minimum ventilation?

[AirJordan]

I wouldn't include engine and ventilation, they are already both part of average reliability.

Stage 1 will be changed an offroad baja style stage with offroad being judged as well (for hard compound to be needed)
We go tire quality +5 max
We treat average and engine reliabilities separately, each by the rules stated.
We also drop the budget to 30k.

-I support the idea of a off road stage
-separate reliability would be great, but they are interlinked - so I vote no.
-maybe keep the tires at +1 and lower the budget even more?

[squidhead]

There is no rule about minimum ventilation as of yet, but having it set at a minimum required would be a good idea i think.

Also how much smaller budget are you proposing?

So far passed propositions : Off road stage
Declined : engine and avg reliability treated separately

[squidhead]

Added - offroad stage for Stage 1
Added - budget drop to 30k
Added - tire quality now +5

We are also now accepting submissions up to 4th of march.

Stage 0
Drive to the event. Your car will have to cover 400km on a single tank of fuel. The speed set is 120kph.

I haven't used the economy tab that much until now. So let me know if i get this right; If not, explain it to me.

Let assume I have a 50L tank. distance = 400 km@120 kph ==> 12.5/100 km
This means that in Detail Stats>Economy>100 km Cruise Test, If my math is correct, I should get the value 120 km/h [10%] = 1.25L

If this the correct way to calculate my fuel consumption?

[squidhead]

Correct.

1.25l is for 10% out of a 100km, so it's 12.5 liters per 100km. Meaning you need 12.5l x 4 to go 400km. 12.5x4 = 50l.

I would also suggest higher time penalty and/or damage for cars that have low off road scores, when racing on non asphalt surfaces. Surely a car with very rigid suspension, magnesium rims on low profile tires wouldn't cope so well on a rally stage.

[TR8R]

Do we choose one set of tyres and suspension for the whole challenge or are we allowed to change the setup for each stage?

Good point, added a bonus for high offroad.

No changes, no repairs, one car goes through all the stages.

[RaduST]

I will be riding in style with my Siret Monarch Limousine.
