Re: [Event is Finished] The Automation Endurance Challenge

Damn, I wish I had spent more time tweaking the car. I built them so quickly, surely there was something more to get out of. But, a second place finish, with cars that took a fraction of the time of the winners to develop is something I am proud of.

Edit: That last-minute effort was what disqualified my Prototype, because I simply forgot to put the mufflers on.
Also, I didn't even run the GT1 and Prototype on the track, I simply used the same suspension set-up from the GT2 and that was it :);

I'm pretty happy with where my team finished, but i must say i'm not surprised that Strop and Dragawn were even faster :P i'm content with 2nd place though :)

Re: [Event is Finished] The Automation Endurance Challenge

As our aim was always to set the benchmark, this event was Belua's to lose. So we are pleased with the win, but I am hardly surprised that it was possible to be competitive with far less preparation, as it is that last little difference that crowns the champions that so often comes down to the hard yards.

Nonetheless, such a small margin certainly provided a thrilling finish! We can't say for sure what would have been enough to change the result, but if one came that close this time, we can look forward to even stiffer competition in future events.
