The challenge will not be shortened. if we bring more people into the result writing it will actually slow down the comp (as we are not all from the same time zone there is a few hrs between correspondence) What I will say is that we have up to 2 weeks to write results etc, this is only thier due to RL commitments, if the results get finished before the deadline I will release them early however the 2 weeks is to allow for a higher quality of Photoshop and reviews taking our busy lifestyles into accountā¦sorry i would love to have a 2 week total turnaround but it just wont happen unless we gave up the pictures and reviews

Wait hold on, 52 Kw max or did I read that wrong.
Correct me if Iām wrong, I think it says 52kW (Ā±20%) average between 1000 and 5000 rpm
You read that wrong!
Ram read it right, unless Darkshine5 meant it to be a minimum value then that rule will change to:
I hope that helps!
Ok so the average power is only a scoring thing. It is not required in the rules. It is there to punish turbo cars with massive lag and na cars with massive rpms. So an average of 52ish or more kw thru out 1000-5000rpms. Il write rules in a few hrs i am still working

Oh. That makes more sense, itās another criterion, and not really a rule.

DSG? You mean automatic?
No.
A direct-shift gearbox (German: Direkt-Schalt-Getriebe), commonly abbreviated to DSG, is an electronically controlled dual-clutch multiple-shaft manual gearbox
Dual-clutch sequential gearbox.
Hmā¦https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj1Vk7SE-TI .DSG is like DCT,i must say it is the same,sequential is something different- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1APhLQVtlE
I have to ask, why no safety?
because racecar
Yes but race cars tend to have at least some safety features
I agree. It would be nice that the game would include a āraceā safety option. Lightweight but safe. Would reduce comfort and practicality.
Why am I writing this here when I could put this to suggestions? Herp.

Because the safety options are roadcar safety options, as well as adding unneeded weight! Itās more accurate for roleplay purposes to leave out the safety entirely than arbitrarily select a safety level (or number).
That was my reasoning when I made the rules; feel free to go about things a different way should you be asked to set up a ruleset!

safety is still scored on so a 0 would be probably no points. I did consider a minimum but as it is a major scoring point I decided to leave it a zero as the minimum. I dont usually like one body only challenges but as it limits creativity and I reserve the right to modify the ruleset to make it more competitiveā¦just something to keep in mind guys
I chose a single body because rally is based on a strict dimension based ruleset and if you look at all the recent rallycars they all look REALLY similar to each other! 
But if you want another body then go for it, itās not like I can stop you!!! 
nah one body is fine lol
So the rules have been settled and we can start building?
And how exactly do you calculate this?[quote=āramthecowy, post:125, topic:18818ā]
52kW (Ā±20%) average between 1000 and 5000 rpm
[/quote]
Take the power every 500RPM from 1000 all the way to 5000 and then divide by 9?
