Galt Motors, excelence since 1945
(PS, Galt automotive is still Galt motors, i use it interchangably)
Re: Dessau Autobahn Automation Speed record 1994 [Open]
With any acceleration longer than 5km the flying 5km can get stupidly close to the cars Vmax, and once they become equal we would no longer need a track for the competion So I think I'll make it a bit shorter still, but how much exactly? Something in the range of 4000 - 5000m? Or 3 miles = 4828m?
Here is a preview of what I'm doing, but it's not nearly finished. I hope to have the final version ready when the competition is over.

Total expense per car (tiny) - 70,000?
(I haven't been here since ages ago)
Question:
By "Total expense per car (tiny) - 70,000" do you mean Total Cost? As in Overview tab>Total Cost? I'm asking because in Automation economy that isn't exactly a tiny amount of $.

Regarding the engine reliability...
When you say engine reliability, you are referring to this, right?:
I'm asking because about a year ago, when I used to participate in these events, there were 2 different engine reliability indications. One in the engine creator; and another in the model creator which took into account additional factors like amount of cooling airflow provided for the engine.
In the new layout of the GUI I am unable to find the second type of "engine reliability", but I've been dumb blind before so please tell me if I should look somewhere else.
Thanks

Overall aka. secondary reliability required is the one found in the car overview section as show in link and isnt the deciding factor over engine reliability but important nontheless.

but to answer shortly, yes, engine reliability is the reliability shown in the engine creation screen.

With the car stripped of interior parts, the disc brakes swapped out for drums and the pushrod suspension replaced with a very simple spring system, the car was significantly lightened and meant that more could be spent on improving the 6.0 V12 sitting at the rear of the car. The angle of the rear wing was reduced so's that it now only provides stability, and aside from that the car was kept the same.

1. is there a particular reason for engine reliability 40? I just noticed that otherwise our requirements (AVUS vs Dessau) are totally compatible, and cars and engine could be directly retrimmed for the other track.
I just want to know, and I have no problem with adjusting my reliability requirements to 40 in future competitions, if its "better". 40 definitely gives room for a little extra power, which is crucial on these fast tracks.
2. I fully concur with your safety requirement, especially because this elegantly rules out the older bodies like the Porsche356, without excluding them entirely.
Re: Dessau Autobahn Automation Speed record 1994 [Open]
Mind you other classes have other requirements (Although mostly the same pattern), I can send you a doc file with all classes I have come up with if you wish.
Also I see your PM's people, I will get to them soon as possible... XCOM2 got me hooked.
Edit : Xcom, Y U NO HAVE MEC TROOPERS?! Also, all entries caught up with, all is well.
