I've never run a competition series before, so here goes.

Regulations are (very) loosely based on LeMans Prototype rules, and are as follows:

Engine
Turbo and N/A will be scored in separate classes before being combined for a Grand Total.
Max N/A 3400cc
Max Turbo 2000cc



Chassis
Mid-Longitudinal
RWD
Minimum 900kg (total weight)

Wheels
Semi Slick
Max Width 380mm
Max diameter 680mm
Max Rim size 17"

Driver Assists
ABS
Power Steering
(Nothing else is allowed)

Quality sliders
10 total on engine
15 elsewhere
No negative tech points

Other Stuff
Only one gearbox/suspension configuration is allowed. Choose your gear ratios wisely!

Everything else is up to you.

PM me your .LUA file, and feel free to showcase your car design.

You can re-submit any modifications up until the deadline.

Submission deadline is Friday, October 24th @ 3:00PM EST. First race is on Saturday the 25th.

RaduST - Gemina XIII
HighOctaneLove - Bogliq Shelob

I'll give it a try. 2014 production year I assume.

Ditto on the production year question. Also, are there going to be any settings that are legal to change between races?

Production year is 2014.

You can't change any settings in between races, but you can make as many revisions as you want up until the deadline this Friday.

(Honestly I have no idea how well this will work out; that's why I'm calling it a prototype series :lol: )

Nice car! Really like what you did with the rear windshield :P

Hopefully we'll get some more submissions by the end of the week

After testing the first few entries, I've decided that N/A and Turbo cars will be scored in seperate classes.

If the numbers start to get close towards the end of the week, I'll put everyone on a Grand Total scorechart to determine the Overall champ.

Sorry for the bloop; as always good luck and happy racing! ;)

It's a 3.4L V8 powerhouse that represents our greatest technological achievements to date and we're hoping for a podium win in this series! :D (Rather than last as it has been for the last 3 or 4 competitions... :lol: )

And also presenting...

The UNGOLIANT :shock:

A turbo straight-6? you're a madman! :lol:

I just built myself a turbo 2.0. It's considerably more powerful than the NA. Are we allowed to enter 2 cars? One with turbos and one naturally aspirated?

When a Turbo-sensitive looks at me they'll say; "The RB20DET is strong in this one!" :lol:

Nearly all my favourite cars have straight six powerplants and the couple I've owned (E21 520i) or driven (XF Falcon 3.3, EL Fairmont 4.0) have felt somehow more special than other engines I've experienced (mainly Inline 4's).

How much power you get from Turbo and 3.4 engine? Or how much should I get to even try this competition? This is my first try to do 2014 engine. Usually I am learning on oldtimers from 1940.

let's say 500-550 hp for the 3.4NA and 600-700 from the 2.0T
