So you can enter as engine manufacturer or racing team that needs to get their engine from what is offered?

[Lothoren]

You may an engine manufacturer, Racing team or both. I myself am just producing an engine, so that there is at least one engine to choose from. But if you wish you may be both.



Note: Added production year of 2014 to the rules.

4" exhaust? Maximum, or absolute? If it is absolute, is this single exhaust only?

Also, any limits on tire width and diameter/height?

One last question. Max 20PSI turbo, so are turbos required?

And this sounds awesome (so far)!

Exhausts is up to 4" and dual exhuasts are allowed,

Dont worry about tire as of yet, Car rules will be devised and announced following the first deadline. These first 2 week are purely for engines.

Turbo's are allowed, but not required.

When i wake up a bit more i will add some clarification to the current rules to reflect that.

[Jakgoe]

Smolensk will supply engines, with both turbo, and NA options available.

[Lothoren]

Dalora Performance Engines have designed 2 engines for the upcoming season.

The DPE-1 and the DPE-1T. Both are NA and Turbo. Final dyno runs and tuning are being ran this week with a look to being finalised before next weekend.



Also added Smolensk to the Engine Manufacturers

[Jakgoe]

PM me if you would like to consider a Smolensk engine. I will disclose some details via PM if you would like to look further into the Smolensk range.

[VicVictory]

Ardent Motors will be entering this competition as a Car Manufacturer only. We are in contact with the two current engine builders about their offerings, but want to put out a call to any others considering it. Don't be shy; we're keeping our options open, and plan to make our motor selection on or shortly after the engine builder's submission deadline.

(Translation: speak up if you're doing engines.)

[Cheeseman]

Gonna be making engines. Hopefully will have them done shortly.

EDIT: Engine sent in for submission.

[Discovolante]

Do you need to have an established company on the forums to participate ?

[07CobaltGirl]

Doubtful, since there is currently no official "established" companies on the forums. There is only a directory thread, and a way to make a thread for your own company. Once AutomationHub goes live, this aspect will likely become more "official".

[Lothoren]

No offical company is needed, We have just created our before release so we may enter competitions or show off our creations.

[Discovolante]

Right, well then, Automobiles Levassor is game.

Levassor DRD-C will make the engines used by the Levassor sport team.

[Lothoren]

So far we have 4 engines registered and legal. (Revisions are still possible.)
