Hey everyone. This is my first time in the forums and my first time competing. What is the deadline for this competition anyway? The date listed is Feb 30th, but there are only 28 days in February.

Thank you and may the best car win.

I'm sorry, but the 30th February doesn't exists.

Hm. Not sure, you'll have to wait until @Speedemon (who's running the competition) sees this.

Jan 1st was almost a month ago. Do you mean March 1st?

Actually kinda excited now! Real racing circuits for the actual races, and a schedule for the two pre-race shakedowns. I can wait, but only barely.

Couple of questions before I submit my entry:

Has the racing calculation engine been decided upon yet? If so, are there BROBOT style dependencies such as drivability/sportiness ratio vs driver errors, camber vs tire wear and such?
What is the length of a race?
How are pit stop strategies handled? (Assuming race is long enough to drink a whole tank, tires wear out, cars may take damage, etc)

Don't expect much, but I believe that it is on Speedemon's custom track calculations (If he has finished it)
