24 Hours of ATT: 1985 (DEADLINE: 24/2/2017)

What’s the top speed of that thing anyways?

Less than 300 km/h :stuck_out_tongue:

You want a sophisticated group B monster modified for 24 Hour endurance? Well, I think I have one here…

Developed in 1983 to replace the MkII Vole Rally Spec, the MkIII Rally is a modified MBS Vole MkIII hatchback, with new a kevlar reinforced body and a new 2.8L V8 engine.

-Ryoko Miyahara, up and coming race star through the Formula H series, she is hoping to prove her worth to the team.
-Durvasas Ramachandran, another up and coming FH racer, this Indian-Engish driver is hoping to gain a spot soon.

@Dorifto_Dorito That livery is honestly gorgeous. Perfect choice of colours.

@Fayeding_Spray Love the thin headlights on that thing. I look forward to competing against it, with any luck our two cars will be quite well balanced and we’ll be able to see whether Turbo or N/A is better using this body.

Developed from the 1982 Phoenix, the Phoenix GTi is a revised, redesigned model of it’s predecessor, with a new more modern chassis made from corrosive-resistant steel, a shorter wheelbase and new aluminium panels. In addition, a new smaller engine 2.8L V6 Turbo replacing the larger and older NS70V8 ‘Buzzard’ engine, making the car significantly lighter.

The GT-P spec was a modified race variant of the OAM Phoenix GTi. By replacing the aluminium panels with lighter kevlar reinforced fibreglass body the car becam significantly lighter and faster. In addition, the 2.8L V6 Turbo used in the GTi was modified to fit the rules of the ATT.

Ill give my cars in today

Oh, this makes more sense and here I thought @DeusExMackia’s Erin and @Fayeding_Spray’s Hodan entries were for the GT-P class. This explains why I was completely unable to match their power outputs :laughing: Well looks like I’ll be competing in both classes then.

I’m trying for both. The first one, trim name GT-P is GT-P, and the trim named GT-R is…GT-R.

I’m building an entry using a base from @Speedemon, I’ll try to make an entry for each category.

Will calculations be based on flying att lap, or basic stock one?
I’ll get at least GT-P car in today, GT-R coming soon.

@stm316 i haven’t opend it up yet, so i didn’t know

Youve got the name and trim the wrong way round. The car name should be ATT85NAME, and the trim name is your choice. Same for the engine family and variant
