'95 NASC (Major Announcements)

[Vri404]

Vri, are we going to have another battle at the back of the pack? It would an interesting story for our companies if we became rivals at the back of the pack. Haha

Cheers - Racer13

I think I've made a somewhat good car (Unlike my AMWEC Vehicles) so maybe not

[durk]

Will we get to watch the race, in any form? Or will it be like AMWEC? (Not saying the AMWEC system is bad, it's really good actually)

There isn't really going to be much to watch with the way I am doing it, but I'll see about posting "live" updates in this thread when a race is in progress. There should be no problem with that. I bit off a little more than I could chew with this series, but I'm still going to run it. Just don't expect this to be on par with AMWEC . In fact, the comparisons to AMWEC that keep popping up in this thread are making me giggle a little.

We already have our first entry . The #404 Astronaut Magazine Racing entry is undergoing the process for NASC approval as we speak.

I'd love to run my company's supercar in this race and already did a tune that matches the regulations, but before I submit I have a question.

Does fuel weight factor into our power to weight ratio? This might be obvious to some, but I approach nearly everything like I'm a complete idiot. Lets say my car weighs 2000lbs and I chose the 25 gallon tank meaning the added fuel weight is 150lbs. The max power for 2000lbs is 400HP, but the max for 2150lbs is 430HP. The HP gain would be 24hp for 20 gallon tanks and 36hp for 30 gallon. While such gains might be small, I'd like to know if I need to add fuel weight so I don't miss out on some free HP. If not and we just use the weight the game states then that is fine I just want to be sure.

As a follow up, if no one else has expressed interest I'd like to have my motorsports team's tire supplier, Zeke-Zero (who is their own entity and other than supplying tires and parts to us have no relation), to sponsor the Sonoma race.

That's actually a pretty good question. I'll only be measuring dry weight when I check if your vehicle suits the regulations. Fuel tank weight will not factor into it, so just use the weight the game states. Also, Zeke-Zero has the Sonoma sponsorship.

Here, have a look at my banana.



Tis just a teaser of the front end. No more to be shown until deadline/full entries.

As one of the commentators for the AMWEC, I want to say that live races are actually a very big project. I know both Sillyworld and myself were exhausted after doing the live Melbourne race. And since it would seem, as you admitted, you may have bitten off to much, I would recommend keeping with the final results for each race. Just my two cents on the matter.

Vri, I guess we shall find out. Maybe I won't have made such a dog either. We'll have to wait and see! Excitement!

I'll see about it. Even if I did do live commentary none of these races are more than 300 miles long. I don't know. If nothing else, I'll include a summary of accidents, pit stop times etc. in the final results. Or maybe just occasional updates while I'm calculating the race.

[Racer13]

Probably a bit late, but HP Craftworks is finally beginning development for its NASC entry.

[durk]

Depends on what you consider late. The deadline is the 22nd.

[Racer13]

First attempt resulted in a car with a .29 power to weight ratio. Right, time for some adjustment.

That just sounds weird...

Too bad I don't have enough free time to participate

Unfortunately, I am going to have to halve the entrant cap. I will only be accepting 10 entrants now. Hopefully this is understandable. Based on the traffic this thread is getting, I'm not sure we would hit 20 anyways :p. This challenge turned out to be a bit too ambitious for me to guarantee that it will be finished if 20 competitors enter. Anyone who has already expressed interest in participating will be guaranteed a spot.

If you were still rolling dice, even with 10 entrants you would hate the competition (maybe for a bit) Anyways, good things come out of ambitious projects

That was the point ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[durk]

I had some crazier ideas for a more modern series, but depending on how this goes I may just have to pass them onto someone else willing to run something like this, except even more complex XD. I'll probably run NASC multiple times, but I can tell you right now the next running won't be any time soon. I have some other, easier to run ideas, which also happen to be a little more unique IMO. We already have AMWEC and BRC offering stuff like this. I'm not saying this series doesn't have any value, but I'm more excited about challenges different than what this series has going on.
