Re: Sell on Monday, Win on Sunday [Eco Review and Results]

Wow! Absolutely amazing and very professionaly written and constructed! Results are interesting but, I have a question; are the two at the bottom of the table (highlighted I red) being dropped?

Very nice review, sad that the Lynx wasn't good enough for top 5.

Hopefully the RS version will be good enough for the top 5 of sporty cars.

Yes, only those two cars got dropped, since they were badly executed version of what I was trying to avoid. All other cars were fine and within reason, so I didn't think it was necessary to let them go.

Re: Sell on Monday, Win on Sunday [Eco Review and Results]

Ok, probably better to do it like that as more cars means a more exciting BROBOT races!

Excellent job! I'm just glad to have placed somewhere in the mid-field, hopefully the sporty trim and races go better (that's what counts the most for Armada).

Re: Sell on Monday, Win on Sunday [Eco Review and Results]

Cool beans. :)

I was a bit surprised by the only-two-drops, but given the small field and looking at the scores, the logic of it is pretty clear. It actually gives me a little bit of hope that I might survive the drops in the Sport bracket! (That low Prestige score, though....)

Re: Sell on Monday, Win on Sunday [Eco Review and Results]

It was a proper hard fight up there. I'm happy to be in the top5 with the review, but I have to do it better next time. Maybe a 16v MPFI was too much for the 1993... the running costs are very high compared to the others. And the lack of galvanized steel panels didn't gave me a cheap rust protection system (because Znopresk polymer were banned!)

Great review Leo. I can't wait to see the remaining results of the competiton. ;)

Re: Sell on Monday, Win on Sunday [Eco Review and Results]

Excellent review and great work! I never thought my car would perform that good, but I am of course very happy about it. I don't expect similar results from my performance models, though. So I am very excited about how the challenge will turn out!

Re: Sell on Monday, Win on Sunday [Eco Review and Results]

...wow, that's weird. I just did a test, and apparently Hand Made Alu is cheaper than Fibre Glass. Heavier, but cheaper. I'd blindly assumed fiberglass would be cheaper. I guess I should give alumin[i]um more consideration for future builds.

(On a related for-future-build notes: it seems that fibreglass stops getting lighter at -10, not -11. Given how pressed I was for money, though, I guess that's not a horrendous error.)

Re: Sell on Monday, Win on Sunday [Eco Review and Results]

Nice review and read. Congrats to Der Bayer for winning the eco competition. I also do not expect to do well in the Sport version of this car. With hindsight I think my sports version is still rather dull.

I'm not too optimistic about the sports bracket, still can't wait to see how it pans out though!

Great reviews, Leo! :)

And I didn't do as badly as I thought I would. There's (almost) hope yet! :D

Re: Sell on Monday, Win on Sunday [Eco Review and Results]

Thank you all for your positive feedback, it really means a lot!

Do you have any criticisms/suggestions for things that I should change/you want to see before I start dealing with the sport versions?

As the last place finisher - thank you for all the work you have put in so far. Are you eliminating us, or are you combining these results with the sport results?
