The Car Shopping Round (Round 64): Tears in Heaven

#CSR25 - Legendary Specifications
The legends car has been a staple of spec racing here in the US for nearly 20 years now, however their popularity has started to dwindle due to their age and the body style that appeals mostly to older people who aren’t in a state to begin racing. That means it’s time for a replacement.

You need to build a new spec series race car that will appeal to the younger generation, getting more people involved in the world of motorsports. In order to replace the legends car you must make something interesting to drive(sporty), with the right balance of difficulty (drivability/sportiness). Too easy and it won’t reward driver skill, too hard and the drivers will make too many mistakes and get discouraged. Comfort shouldn’t be lower than 15, we don’t want to break people’s backs while they’re out on track. You must use advanced safety, crashes are bound to happen at some point so it’s important that we keep the drivers safe. The actually safety stat is not very important to allow the use of old bodies, so you’ll need to use other methods to show more of a focus on safety. Noise can be an issue so max loudness is 50, also a catalytic converter is required.

As this is designed as a beginner racing series costs should be fairly low with purchase price below $20,000@50% with running costs such as fuel usage (at high rpm) and tires also being low. Any fuel is acceptable although whether higher octane is worth the increased price is up to you. Also as this isn’t a massive market no parts requiring a medium factory are allowed. The car trim should be for 2016.
