Old Time Racing(ish)

[KingJanic]

This is a race I came up with and was hoping someone else might enjoy. These are the rules:
Engine: 1965, =<4 liters, push rod, regular leaded, Man Hours < 50, Material Cost < 1,000.
Platform: 1965, Steel Monocoque, RWD, 4/5 Speed Transmission, Single Clutch, Medium Compound Road Tires, Quality = 0, MTBF >25,000 miles. (High Comfort and Prestige encouraged)

How to Submit:
Name of Car
Name of Car Company (optional)
Pictures (optional)
Time around Standard Automation Track

I think that should cover it, tell me if you think the rules should be changed Leaderboard will be updated once 20 cars have been submitted. After that the race will advance to 1966.

I think rules for platform year and quality settings for platform and model are missing. The MTBF limit should be not the engine itself but mounted into the car.

Everything should be fixed now, not sure what the quality should be but less than 5 sounds good.

[Der Bayer]

Because there currently is no cost for platform and model, why wouldn't you want to use it? Locking quality to 0 is the best solution for now in my opinion.

Ta Dah!

That's an interesting challenge.

I've already made the engine, a 262hp 4L FP V8, although the push-rod is very limiting and it was a bit of a challenge to make something decent.

Tonight if I have some time I'll finish the car and I'll post the results.

[AGarcia]

Well, there's my car:

Car name: The Bastard

Engine: 4000cc XP V8 16v "Screaming Pig" (262hp)

Lap time: 156.59s

It has some problems transmitting the power to the rear wheels, it did the 0-100km/h 1.6s with all-wheel drive, and the suspensions could be a little better set-up, but I'm happy with the result.

Well, I hope to see more and faster cars!

[KingJanic]

Well darn, I was hoping to be competitive Good job AGarcia

If you are looking for old fashion racing you should probably include a transmission restriction, 3 or 4 speed would be accurate and definitely single clutch.

At least in Europe the sports cars from the 1965 had 5 speeds gearboxes, no dual clutch although.

I will suggest to ban the lips and wings

idk there were some big wings back then, true this one was from '69 but its the same era.
