Yes!

We need more challenges! Thanks, Niall. I will make a car soon!

By units, you mean production units, right?

Correct, production units.
I've been needing my automation fix for a while now as my computer access has been limited, so thinking up and hosting challenges is the next best thing.

Let's go racing folks :)

Does the car need to be a sedan or can it just be a 4 door?

I named it FWD Sedan true, but I did not include Sedan in the rules, so you're free to use wagons or 5 door hatchbacks. If someone mods a 4 door van or truck I'll have to make a call about that later but for now...Image

The ZRP started to strip out the super confortable and luxury Zephyr to hit the racetrack.

So... after a little bit of debate, I decided to try out maffc's most excellent new sedan/hatch/saloon/whatever the hell you want body. Then I thought what car could I possibly model it off?

Then I thought, "we should make a racing version of a 1984 Ford Telstar... said nobody ever," so this is the work in progress.

Conceived at the risk of death by Hannah throwing spanner at my head, as Hannah is a Holden girl. She was only placated by the fact that the Ford Telstar isn't a real ford, it's essentially a rebadged Mazda 626...

I loved the Volvo wagons in the Supertourer racing so I made a Bogliq tribute to everything that's great about production car racing! :D :D :D

More obvious questions are obvious: Is there a minimum safety requirement?

After the ZRP started to work on the Zephyr they have found out that the car was RWD... embarassed they put aside the prototype and start over on the Zest.

*Facepalm*

No, not this time. I already have some entries in don't feel like making people redo builds. The note will be made for the next series.

Behold, the product of "I'm getting sick of not squeezing out a million horses from each block." Time for a return to form with way too many horses and a ridiculous power to weight ratio (hint: more than ever before for any GG submitted car on a tight budget).
