When do you think you are likely to close entry? I will be entering a Triple Volvo team of course but just wondering if i will have any time to tune them Currently looking to run a 5L, 6L and 7L v8 stuffed into my trusty green volvo becuase why the hell not

Me and oldgreg haven't decided on when we close for new entries, but I doubt we'll start before friday or saturday, so you should have plenty of time!

This Friday or Saturday? That might be a bit soon!

Again, we haven't decided when, and as I said: I doubt it will be before this friday or saturday. I have planned some things this weekend, so probably not this saturday or sunday. We also want a lot of entries, so we will wait until we got quite a few entries!

[Dragawn]

Hang on, do you already want the cars then, or just close the sign up?

Well, as I wrote in my last post

We also want a lot of entries, so we will wait until we got quite a few entries!

So you got plenty of time to tune cars and engines, and people can still sign up for the next days. No need to worry, plenty of time

Turns out extracting 30% economy from a lightweight, powerful turbo engine is quite hard.
Or I'm doing turbo terribly wrong.

Off to the good old N/A, it is!

EDIT: well, the trouble is in the GT2 class. The Prototype and GT1 engines were a lot easier to make. (gonna do something about these power curves before starting work on the models, however)

Mine either have no power, no economy, or too expensive.

Yea the requirements for GT2 are a bit absurd, more eco than most passenger cars, this isnt a race that goes by real life gt2 class etc.

Well, but with a normal passenger car you don't drive an endurance race like LeMans etc. You drive like 20, 30 or maybe 50km on average per trip, sometimes over 100 if you make a longer journey. But the point is that in a race like this, every second counts and that's why the car should be very economical in order to avoid unnecessary stops for fuel. In everyday life, you can stop for fuel whenever you want to as long as there's a petrol station nearby.



One more question: i haven't seen any restrictions about how much downforce or how many points in quality sliders the Prototype can have, so that means there are no restrictions to that, other than man hours and costs on the engine?
