Automation Sunday Cup - Race 4: Laguna Seca

Community Challenges & Competitions
139

And I compiled all these into a sheets list so you can see which has the most bang for your buck. Just remember that this doesn’t really take into account how much potential the car has left in it or handling or weight, so just because a car seems like a bargain doesn’t mean it’ll necessarily be competitive! It can also be good if you just want to ctrl + f to quickly find cars!

Also, buy Keika

My car has the only turbo v8?

That brochure looks SICK! The stylized photos in the background look proper late 90’s.

Hmm, that dealership probably doesn’t sell what it says on the tin. Bet it sells useless things like sportscars and the like… Cursed marketing tricks!

Well, time to put those buying skills honed by years of playing GRID to the test. And by that I mean buy the most broken car possible so that then I won’t need to break it in! Strategy! :rofl:

are we allowed to sign up for dealers yet?

153

I only care that the wheel arches flare in a non boxy way…

154

You can if you want to. Just PM me.

155

There is no way to know what cars each dealer will offer, I guess, so there’s an element of randomness there, or did I miss something ?

Yeah, signing up for dealers is mainly just for lore reasons or if you want a funnier one. I’m working on putting them all together and they will all be random. It seemed better to give that option while you’re waiting on the next stage.

Deadline to pick a dealership is 7:00 pm EST June 19. Cars will be available to buy soon after.

Edit: pushed back the time a bit since I’m not done yet

Look in the dealership list a few posts above to see which dealer you can buy from. Choose a car from it in the catalog and PM me the car (and number next to it) you want and I will send it to you to tune.

Remember that the mileage loosely reflects how much fuel efficiency, reliability, and drivability will take a hit from being used.

Tuning regulations

I’m making a few changes to the tuning rules. Your tuned car no longer has to meet the same level of reliability, drivability, and fuel efficiency as the original cars. I will change the first post to reflect this.

When your new used car is sent back to you, you will be able to tune the car to your liking. Your team still only has a budget of $10,000 (@ -20%) for the car. You may not change the trim/variant years on the car.
You are allowed to skip tuning and just go with the stock car, though that isn’t recommended.

Part restrictions still apply to tuned cars. That means no race intake, Semi-Slicks etc.
Engine:

  • You may add a turbo (or 2) to an N/A engine, which will replace the exhaust headers.
  • You may not change the headers otherwise.
  • You may change the intake.
  • You may remove one muffler if the car has 2
  • No other components may be changed, only sliders can be adjusted.
  • No changing quality sliders

Trim:

  • Anything in the Transmission tab can be changed except Drive Type.
  • Anything goes with the Tires, Brakes, Suspension, and Aero sections.
  • Driver Aids & Safety and Body cannot be tuned.
  • You may remove the back seats, must still have at least 2 seats total
  • You can change interior and entertainment as long as it is at least basic.
  • You may change rims and add/remove spoilers or lips.
  • You can change the color of your car and give it a number and decals, but do not move existing fixtures besides -spoilers/lips.
  • little details like canards and rally lights are fine, just don’t go nuts :stuck_out_tongue: It shouldn’t look like a full on race car, it is the Sunday Cup after all.
  • You can’t move any morphs, except wheel arches.
  • Quality sliders can only be adjusted with the tires, brakes, suspension, and aero sections. The max total +/- quality points total is still 5
  • Power to Weight must be calculated by yourself. DO NOT use the in game number.
  • The power to weight ratio must be under 0.176 kw/kg

-Your tuned car must still meet all the same regulations as the stock car EXCEPT drivability, reliability, and fuel economy. That includes a 10 comfort minimum.

Don’t rename the cars (even if it says clone clone at the end)

Deadline to submit your team’s tuned car is June 27, 10:00 PM EST

Lore is encouraged but until everyone has bought a car, keep specific car stats a secret for now.

So I forgot to choose a dealer, right?

160

So did I get this right, you can, for example, go from a premium interior to a basic one?

161

So, I can’t change the wing?
