Introduction

The goal in the Themed Car Challenges is to build an Car that is reasonable for the specific theme it is entered into.
This challenge is not about making as much power as possible or other crazy-ass Cars. The winner will be chosen by the
judges, and that is you! You decide which Car you would choose, if YOU were the CUSTOMER. Be realistic about your choices!


Submission Guidelines

• The latest public release version is used for the challenges.
• One submission per user per theme. The PMed Car is your final and only theme entry.
• If a patch is released during a challenge, the entry has to be (re-)submitted in the latest patch version.
• After filling the spreadsheet with your Car's data, submit your entry via PM to Pyrlix, the TEC game-master.
• You must submit the Car by the last day of building time, otherwise it counts as not submitted and is disqualified.
• Scoring (Season 1): 1st place 5 points, 2nd place 4 points, 3rd place 3, 4th place 2 point
• If your Car stats in the sheet don't correspond to the ones in the submitted Car file, this counts as cheating.
• Don't allocate 2 slots at one time. Only 1 slot at once. Finish your work before you start the next one!

Voting Guidelines

Remember that you are the customer, and you want to get the best out of a car for your money.
Vote accordingly! Some examples for what kind of questions you should be asking yourselves:

a) Is all that power actually accessible, usable and not far too dangerous?
b) Will the Comfort break your back?
c) Does it eat your wallet?

Do the voting by putting your name in the "Vote" line below each scenario. You have three votes per theme:
1) "3MyForumID" is worth three points towards the placement.
2) "2MyForumID" is worth two points towards the placement.
3) "1MyForumID" is worth one point towards the placement.

If there is one or several names in that cell already, edit the cell and add your name: "2NameX, 1NameY, 2MyForumID"
with the score you want to give in front of your forum ID.
You are not allowed to vote for your own Car!


Season Format

The runtime for every challenge is one week and every season will have 4 events, i.e. a season is 4 weeks long.
There may be minor breaks in between due to holidays or unavailability of the game-master.
The competition weeks are structured the following way:

Car Submissions: Saturday, Sunday, Monday
Car Voting: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Challenge Wrap-Up and Announcement: Friday

Any chance at a list of the mods found in the high quality collection? I, and I'm sure many others, download the mods I like individually instead of collections, so I have no idea if any of my mods are allowed or not.

i checked the list your mods are allowed, he has a link in the first post to the pack to see what's in it

Ah, I didn't realise it was listed like that, I thought the high quality collection was a bundle download

From the first post:
Minimum Driveability 40

From the Spreadsheet:
Driveability [min 45]

What's the right value, 40 or 45?

Its 40 - good observation!

What are CNC parts?

well.... virtually none


so what effects service costs again?
im using a v12, yet no matter what i do, it never reached $200 anyway

im guessing using RWD instead of AWD effects that a bit?

My totally amazing ad :

Does one have to have competed in the first round to enter into the second?

nah. just make one.



so once again. i don't know how my car usually ends up like this, but, it turns out to be the 'relatively' cheap car in the competition with a 'relatively' high power:weight ratio
