Gentlemen, build some engines! The very final round of season 3 has just started!
Again, there are two themes for you:

1958 F1
Build a powerful, max. 2500 cc engine for a car which can win the constructors championship. But pure performance (Pure Performance Index) is not everything that counts. Have in mind that the drivers must not crash too many cars and that the engines should stay alive at least in some races. Everything will add up to the cost of the season for your team.

2020 Micro Fuel Saver
The price tag for fuel has skyrocketed, but there is still the need for small fuel powered/hybrid vehicles which can cover long distances. Prove a point by building a high-tech fuel saver for a small production series. The price does not have to be extremely low, but the car should not be a concept car either.


For those new to the challenge and those who forgot:

READ THE GUIDELINE
This is the new spreadsheet for the last round.

Send the engine files via PM to me (not Pyrlix) in this season! Please name the files in this structure: Theme-Name, for example "1958 F1-Der Bayer" That makes stuff easier for me.

Have fun and may the votes be with you!

1958 F1 car are you kidding me

The engine failure calculation for the F1 theme seems to be rubbish as it is right now. Considering every car does ~5500 km in a year, and it currently say that an engine that should be able to run two full seasons will break 3.3 times each year. I know it's Mean Time Between Failure, but still, that should only mean that the engine at "most" breaks one time to to a faulty component.

Nope, Automation doesn't give you MTBF for full engine load, so it needs to be much stricter/harder a limit in this calculation Martin does. Or do you cruise in your F1 car for the most part?

That's exactly what I intended. Racing is not street cruising. And I needed to tweak the MTBF because it would have been a real pain if 0.1mm of stroke made the difference between exploding or not.

For the F1 cars Range ISNT important it has to last a max of 800km and I went out and built a great race engine

also, you went out to not understand what we're talking about

What about economy in F1 cars? Better economy means less time in the pits.

That is considered in the calculation for the overall performance already.

oops

Voting is now open!

Bah, only got one in this time...

I havent yet...but I did build my engine for performance and all out speed....

Wrap-Up Time!

The end of season 4 has come and the overall winner is:

Pyrlix

Congratulations! Well done, as well as the rest of the podium!

The final round was again a close competition with multiple participants on the thrid places! Points for all!

Thanks for participating and voting, I hope you all had fun! I tried to make different themes so that the taste of everyone was met at some point. Post your feedback, ideas or some other stuff! It's very much appreciated!
There will be a little break for the challenges, but I guess you will have enough fun with the coming update! Stay tuned for further announcements about future TEC on the forums!
