BRC: Shakedown Challenge [FINISHED]

[Der Bayer]

It's only a quick test run, there will be bigger challenges later. I really want to start on Monday so that we're done until the public (automatic) update. The problem should be fixed very soon anyway (hopefully until tomorrow). If not, we will have to wait of course and start later.

[Razyx]

I'll join both classes.

And a second post, because i found a very stupid bug.
I was building both cars, and switched between them. Now whenever i load the other car and view the stats, the weight is off.
e.g. my 1600 car shows 822kg when entering new. when i klick on the disk brake size one up, and one down again, the weight shows the right amount of 820kg.
it's even worse in my group b car. it shows 1102kg. again one step up and down again in a break disc, the weight is now corrected to 1114kg AND THE LAPTIME IS 9 SECONDS FASTER.

So please consider that when driving our cars around

Just a few quick questions:

1. I cant find a year when I'm in the model designer. Am I right in assuming it automatically takes the the year from the platform?
2. When you say standard safety requirements, is that for the score or the interior equipment? (and if it is the score, what score constitutes 'standard' safety?)
3. Where is this mystical MTBF in the car tab that you talked about on the previous page? for now I will go by the MTBF of the engine when it is put in the car

1.Yes, you are right.
2.Go for standard 80s safety package and you're all good.
3.Yes, it's the MTBF of the engine as it is put into the car (engine has to be reloaded, if you go below the cooling requirements)

[Jakgoe]

1. Yes, it is taken from the platform.
2. It is for the interior equipment.
3. Here:

Thanks guys cant believe I missed the MTBF when it is literally one inch from the button I press to alter the engine

*edit*
i guess you have to reload the engine with your updated MTBF for that number in the car editor to update itself

Count me in for Group B!

PS: <100 man hours, does this mean 100.0 man hours gets disqualified? Or is it "<="

[Reaper392]

Just sent you my entry. It sometimes takes a couple of clicks around the place to get to the correct stats, but usually you don't have to change anything.

[Der Bayer]

Kubby answered all of the questions correctly, nothing more to add. I'm aware of the loading issues and will make sure that every car is tested as it was intended.

So I am having trouble making my car 1100 kg/2425 lb...does this include engine weight? Any tips?

[Kubboz]

Yes, it doeas include engine weight. What, is it too light? If so, fit it with some more comfortable interior and sound insulation.

[CNSpots1]

That is the full weight of the car with engine/interior/etc

I simply used luxury interior to keep the weight up. Combined with 4WD and a 3.0 liter V8, my Mono Razor (Pics here: http://imgur.com/a/uejX9#0 ) meets the 1,100kg minimum and is ready to tear up some rally stages!

Ahh ok thanks!

Put in my Group B entry!

May put in a Demo 1600 entry but I need some sleep first...
