Scoring is the highest market score from each of the three market categories averaged out.

So, say you had 110 in Premium Commuter, 84 in Family Sport, and 54 in City Premium, You final score would be an Average of all 3, as those 3 were the highest demographics for each total market.

the top 3 will be reviewed in Astronaut Magazine.

There will also be a small mini challenge once the deadline ends of a looks challenge, where I will let you all decide on the best looking car, and crown the best looking car champ.

PART 2 WILL BE: You must take your Homologated Car, and BUILD A RALLY CAR! *I will sort this better at a later stage!

So no sedans? So according to this the Lancer Evo or Subaru Impreza WRX STI sedan never existed.

3

But are they in the WRC currently? No. The Current WRC has only hatches, so hatches only. I may run this if it works again in the early 2000’s.

Those are the current WRC regulations. Notice the lack of regulation regarding hatchbacks and sedans.

5

I’ll edit that then, and remove transverse rule.

6

you have some flaws

powertrain: rally usually use AWD
Tyres: must be chunky, you cant use sport compound tyres on dirt and gravel
Suspension: should be offroad. your car can’t be low, it needs ground clearance

7

This is a Homologation challenge. This is for the road cars, hence the name (Part 1)

8

Is this inspired by my Homologation challenges so far? :slight_smile:

9

Why do people think that rallying is purely an off-road thing? Makes me want to facedesk.

10

Yeah, what about the tarmac stages? (Of which there are plenty).

Welp, with those kind of restrictions, I definitely can’t homologate any of my own company cars LOL. I’ll think about something else, maybe.

11

And the max engine capacity?

12

Just to make sure, I can make my car to fit in either of the categories:

  • Commuter budget, regular, prem;
  • City budget, regular, eco, premium;
  • Family budget, regular, premium, sport budget, sport regular, sport premium
    ?

And the goal/scoring system is based on

  • relative score in single category?
  • relative score in combined categories?
  • Is sportiness required or just base engine and chassis for ARC?

Looking forward to the chalenge, just don’t want to make bad decisions so early :slight_smile:

For Part A: Yes.
For Part B: Goal is [Classified] but the scoring is average score over your highest score from the said catergories. Calculation: [Highest score in any of the Commuter Catergories + Highest Score in any of the City Catergories + Highest Score In any Of the Family Catergories / 3 = Final Score.]

Doesn’t Matter, but make it logical for the markets.

15

The limited production parts is only the CNC tooling required parts?

16

So, I’m going to revitalize this challenge.

I won’t open this challenge up yet, I just want any Rule Questions answered now.

So, FIRE AWAY!

17

Yessss, time to get this running again!

Are all market calculations to be done using a particular factory, e.g. Medium 2 (default)?

18

For this, I’ll be using Default, as it is easy.

19

Now where do I submit my designs! :smiley:

EDIT:
Think I found It?

Since I have had problems with Automation resetting the color in the past this is the proper color.

@Vri404 you need to decide the deadline and put on the title “submit your entries now” otherwise no one will send cars and the challenge will be buried in the subforum again… :confused:
