Re: Regular Communist (1986) - Racing and Car Rating! [RACE
The Soviet Statemen and Engineers gathered with all the cars in moscow. The race results were in and it was time to examine all cars. They had 3 favourites on their list. But before they looked at these, they looked at the Z220-EST again. They all thought its a great car, but with a pretty mediocre racing degree, its not really suited to be used by prolets on racing tracks or by the police on chases, even in a couple of years. While it was not a sporty car, the Z220 amazed as one of the most comfortable and desireable cars. They put it far up on their list in regards of car rating. As they have already looked at the PC86 extensly they went on to their personal favourites.
The rather slow Pinguin Wagon Turbo, the pretty fast Allegro and the average Desert Motors Firefox.
The Austing Allegro, one of the russians said he already heard that name, but he got thrown out of the conference room after metioning british engineering. The Austin showed amazing Track Performance, but was a rather average car compared to the Z220 or PC86. It was not too comfy and not so cheap. But it had above average safety and a very practical body design. It was although shocking when the soviets first saw it, they were blinded by the amount of headlamps and chrome, but under all of that they saw a good performer, with average stats.
Then they looked at the Desert Motors Firefox. In terms of comfort and safety it was even worse than the Austin, but it won in terms of costs and practicality. It was the cheapest to produce but also had a lot of rusted parts after just a couple of weeks. Although not as bad as the Vroom, which arrived with rusty panels on the first day, and the PolMot which already had small rust dots. The russians favoured this car, as it was cheap and still pretty fast... but then they revistied their last favourite.
They already said a lot of good things about the Pinguin, pretty good comfort, again one of the best, a very high safety standard (Second safest!), third most desireable car with a really nice design and a HUGE cargo bay. It had issues on the track with its performance, but in the end they decided that this car - the Pinguin Wagon Turbo - was the best car overall, while it had a not so good trackperformance, it showed a GREAT result for in the consumer ratings.
The car that came second is the Austin, which does it the other way around, good to great trackperformance and an not so good conusmer rating, it could've done better if it would be slightly more comfortable, but it did well enough for the russians to reach the second place.
And then comes the Desert Motors Firefox, which showed an average trackperformance and a good consumer rating, if it would've been just slightly faster or better, this would be the russians favourite car!

Hope you enjoyed this challenge, this end was a bit rushed, and i apologize for that. I go in vacation from tomorrow on, and did not want to let you all wait on the Results. It was a lot of work in terms of balancing, and I hope to make a similar challenge once again soon, maybe with BROBOT, maybe with something else. Post what you liked, what you disliked, if you have any suggestion or just general feedback!
