Survival of the fittest [FINISHED]
Welcome the the first annual "Survival of the Fittest" shootout 1975.
This is a multi-stage competition. Each stage will concentrate on a few key aspects of your car, and each stage, only the winners advance to the next stage, till there's only 1 car left standing. Your car will have to be fast, tough, safe, economical and comfortable, but not all those aspects weight in as much as the others.

General calculations
Economy rule
Your fuel tank in liters equals 5% of your car's weight in KG. If your car weighs in at 1 ton, your fuel tank is 50 liters. Fuel economy stages are done at a set speed, and are calculated based on automation's rating for economy at that speed
Reliability rule
Each point of reliability under 50 is allowed, but penalized by increasing your stage time by 2%. This means you have had some technical trouble along the way, and had to either endure them or stop and fix the problem.
example - your lap time is 1:40, which is 100 seconds. Your reliability is 40, which means 10 under required 50. Your penalty is 10 x 2% = 20%. Meaning your lap time is now 120 seconds exactly, or 2 minutes. After the completion of the stage each point of reliability under 50 is doubled and deducted. If you had a 45 reliability car, and you finish the stage your new reliability will be 35 points (50-45 = 5 points. 5 x 2 = 10. 45 reliability - 10 = 35). If your reliability reaches 0 you are out of the race.
Offroad / rally stages
Since we don't really have offroad stages, we will be using tracks that are twisty and tight with the time doubled. If we use nordschelife (which your car does in 10 minutes) as an offroad stage than the gravel nordschleife will take twice as long (10x2 = 20 minutes per lap). Each point of your off-road rating removes 0.5% of your final time. If you do 10 minutes exactly on the Green hell and your offroad rating is 10, then your offroad time will be 10min x 2 = 20 min. 10 rating = 5% decrease of stage time (which is 1 minute exactly). Final result is 19 minutes. For these stages each point of "Offroad" stat will remove 0.5% of damage dealt to your car set for the stage, to a total of completely negating the damage received.
Damage
Each stage takes a toll on your car (stated for each stage separately), damaging it, including penalties to reliability, speed and driveability.
example - your car enters a 5% stage with 50 reliability, and 50 drivability. In the next stage both these stats will drop by 5%, meaning 47.5 for each, and your next stage immediately gains 5% penalty due to car' being damaged.
Battle stages
8 cars stage for 1vs1 racing.
The qualification for battle stages is posting the best lap. After the qualifications the grid takes following setup
1st vs 8th
2nd vs 7th
3rd vs 6th
4th vs 5th
At which point 1 vs 1 battles commence
Battles
If the two cars are separated by less than a second per lap on a lap, then the battle commences. In battle 1vs1 drivablity stat acts as a multiplier between them, each 1 point of driveability takes off exactly 0.02 seconds off your lap time (Cars are using each others' slip stream and becoming faster both)
example car A does a lap in 100 seconds, car B does a lap in 101 second. Car A's driveability is 30, car B's driveability is 60. Meaning car A does 100 - (30 * 0.02) = 99.4. Car B is doing 101 - (60 * 0.02) = 99.8 seconds. Both cars gain this bonus untill the end of the stage.
Tire suitability of tires at stages
Unsuitable tires will increase your time by a set amount of percent
Asphalt : Sports compound - no penalty / Medium compound - 5% / Hard compound - 10%
Asphalt + Gravel : Sports compound - 5% / Medium compound - no penalty / Hard compound - 5%
Gravel : Sports compound - 10% / Medium compound - 5% / Hard compound - no penalty
