J.E.C.B (Junior Executive Car Brawl) 14th PLACE RELEASED

[WoarLord]

i read now about lots of fancy stuff like multilinksuspension and stuff. I vent with more common Stuff and give some quality, hands my reliability but its not that driveable. And i got no AWD, too heavy/expensive, RWD rulez. I wonder that there isn't an economic-malus for AWD or tirewidth. 225 should be enough for a 1.6 ton car.

[strop]

My beef, though it's a very minor one, is that there's no penalty for using rare tyre configurations. Service costs for tyres are based mainly on material and surface area, and the reality is that if the tyre isn't found at certain dealers it becomes a right pain in the ass to source! (This being the subject of a lengthy Jezza rant even a couple of years ago.)

However there's a much larger problem with using a tyre catalogue in-game, and that is of course that it'd be horrendously clunky. The sandbox mode after all aims to simulate the cars, not the market.

Really given the weightings of this challenge, in retrospect I should have used 265s all around, but instead I thought about real world conditions and concluded that 235s were already more than enough (and also the most common width for this kind of car).

[Mason148]

My car isn't that drivable haha and in all honesty cars of this class have quite wide tyres nowadays. 265's or even 275's in some cases on 18, 19 or 20 inch wheels. It's getting absurd but it is what it is.

I am going to release the car in 15th place later on today so stay tuned.

[BlastersPewPew]

I hope you do more than one per day!! 15 days is a LONG time to wait for the finish, 3-5 per day would be better if you decide to space out the reveals. Dont take this as negative criticism though, it is just my .02.

[strop]

(A 2 cents that I would wholeheartedly second, and imagine quite a few people would do the same. Particularly if you are only revealing stats of the cars not reviewed!)

[Mason148]

I ran into a problem with my perfectionism. I wanted to include the non-weighted stats but then I thought that I should order these too so now I am putting them into a spreadsheet as well but I should be done soon enough and I will update the mean and median stats too with this information and then I will release the 15th maybe in the evening and will do more than one a day starting from tomorrow.

*edit* It may actually be delayed until tomorrow. Something came up and so I'll do what I can but it will be either tonight or tomorrow.

[DeusExMackia]

Argh damnit! I can't bare this tension. I need to know if I'm last or not!

[Mason148]

First off, let me apologise for the delay in the presentations of the cars. Some things came up and I didn't have enough time to sort this out. But finally I am ready to start revealing the cars.

HOW TO IMPROVE THE CAR
Use better pistons (more reliability)
Use a less aggressive cam (more efficiency)
Reduce the fuel mixture (more efficiency)
Use a different muffler setup (more comfort)
Use less exhaust pipe (more efficiency)
Use a less rearward biased power distribution (more drivability and prestige and less wheelspin)
Shorten the final drive (better acceleration)
Use wider tyres (tames the oversteer and increases sportiness and drivability)
Optimise your brakes more (less weight and cost for other things)
Raise the ride height (more drivability and comfort)
Utilise your budget with quality sliders

[BlastersPewPew]

Did you use the RPM limiter to limit the car to under 350 hp RoyalStig? If that was the case I think I would have also lowered the cam profile to bring down your peak HP while increasing fuel economy.

EDIT: I do NOT foresee my car doing good here, if Royal was in 15th then by looking at my stats I am going to be following very close to him.

[DeusExMackia]

I cannot have done much better than @RoyalStig or you @BlastersPewPew either by the sounds of it. Let's see who's least worse!

HOW TO IMPROVE THE CAR
Rev the engine out more (more usable power band)
Up the cam profile (more power)
Use a bigger exhaust (more power)
Use a diff (less wheel spin)
Use wider and sticker tyres (more grip)
Use vented discs (less brake fade)
Utilise the budget

[DeusExMackia]

Welp, I'm glad I did well in cost, reliability and safety

[Mason148]

Cost wasn't a weighted stat so it had no bearing in your score.

[DeusExMackia]

I *might* have looked over that while I was designing the car. But hey, this is the first competition I've completed

[victorgarcia]

both last places would be much more well scored if stile was weighted, very handsome cars!!
