The Lap Time:
(if you can’t record your lap time, then don’t worry, it’s not completely obligatory for you to record the lap time of your car, since I am going to test these cars myself)
Hopefully you will have made a car that can handle too, so it’s mission is to beat the Izzo’s lap time of 1:15.976.
-
Track - Hirochi Raceway - Short Race track.
-
Setup: 2 laps, standing first lap and hot lap the second (this is for the recording, you are free to drive your car as many times as you want on the track).
-
You must record the laps which you consider your best.
(upload it to either YouTube or Streamable)
When you are done with your car, just drop the specifications of it here, including the .car file.
P.S. Be gentle, this is my first Automation community challenge, advice on how to make these will be much appreciated 
Also remember, you don’t have to make a faster car, you have to make a better car, a car that has a better interior, better parts, more affordable and only then faster.
