Hi guys!

Today, I announce the 1974 LeMans 24 Hours.

The rules are these:
    -Tech year: 1974
    -Engine type: all.
    -Only mechanical injection, and 98 leaded fuel.
    -Race exhaust and race intake only.
    -5 valve per cylinder: FORBIDDEN.
    -You only can use this body: 60s Pre-Wedge Supercar (download these pack to avoid problems: http://37.120.160.45/AutomationModPack.rar) Source: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=5289 (the credits is for all authors who make 3d mods for Automation). ONLY if this body doesn't works, you can use the exotic 70s body.
    -The maximum engine capacity is 6.5 liter.
    -The minimum weight is 600kg, and the max. weight is 1100 kg.
    -The engine reliability they be equal or more than 7.5 (LeMans 24 Hours had 4500 km aprox. in 330-380 laps).
    -Sound insulation must be set to 0.
    -The interior must be set to basic, and quality sliders to -15.
    -The only assist accepted is the assisted steering, and the quality slider must be set to 0, and the entertainment must be NONE).
    -The security can be NONE (except for Jackie Stewart :lol: ).
    -The costs and man hours doesn't import.
    -The car MUST BE HAVE: headlights, tailights and indicators.

    And a some advice: the fuel consumption is important: try to set the best equilibrium between power and fuel consumption, or you need to stop in boxes more.

The last day for submit the cars are the 8th of january of 2015 (9th day I don't accept any car).

The track is Le Mans sans Chicanes: download/file.php?id=6432 (thanks Oldgreg).

The results are calculated with a function that relates the lap time, the fuel consumption, the pit time (1:30 minute/stop), and the 24 hours.

Please, sent me the models via PM (engine and model in *.zip to avoid problems), and the car file name format is this: 74LM-[NAME OF MODEL]-[USER].

I see you soon in the track!


Entries accepted (NO MORE SUBMISSIONS, PLEASE):
-HighOctaneLove (Bogliq Magnum) [exotic]
-vmo (Montes 618LM)-> TEST CAR (is the reference car) [Pre-wedge].

I really like your rules and idea, however the time constraint is a problem only 4 days is pretty short especially during the holiday season. Can you move the deadline back to January 7 or 8th?

An excellent idea, I was hoping somebody would either do this, or a Group C tournament!

Thanks Strop for the suggestion! Once these championship finished, I would start to make a C-Era (only I need a le mans proto with a bigger engine bay), and a mid-80s Le Mans C-Era body (Like Porsche 962 or Jaguar XJR12 LeMans).

Be careful using the modpack as after I installed it I got this lua error:

---------------------------
Lua Error:
---------------------------
tolua++ dbcall failed!: [string "--client\functional\PlatformDesignerWindowDel..."]:1334: attempt to index a nil value

You can CTRL+C on this to report it.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I tracked it down to these files; Pyrlixgrille 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 :o

I was previously running grille 5 without problems but after installing the modpack it too caused the abovementioned lua error (and yes, I did try to re-intall my old download but the error remained :( )

Hopefully someone knows why this is happening so I can fix the extra grilles but until then, avoid installing these files!!! :?

Now I can start my entrant for this competition... :D

The sound of the 787B downshifting must be the greatest sound.... in the world.

I even tried to isolate it to use as a ringtone once...

I totally agree (video with the greatest sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az39eqLIbyU of the r26b wankel engine).
