5.0L = 5000cc
Noted. Speaking of engines, I toyed with the idea of slotting in a lighter, less powerful I6, but rejected it for being too peaky (lots of power and torque at the top end, but much less of either at the bottom end of the rev range).

Not the best start to this challenge, but not the worst one either - the Arrow 5.0 Club Sprint has so much torque and so little weight that it’s a real challenge to drive smoothly. Then again, much of it is due to the fact that I deliberately set it up for a driver whose skills are even more advanced than yours.
As a side note, I feared that my entry in the previous challenge (1995 Budget Sports Cars) would be a total bust after the first two races - but it did much better than I expected in the last race, which helped me salvage some pride.
yeah, I felt like I wasn’t fully doing the car justice but maybe I can redeem it in the next race. The potential is definitely there!
Thanks, was really fun to watch, and a huge range of engineering approaches.
For the next version of the table, can you please sort it by overall score or something?

These are the standings after the 2nd race, it’s really close at the top!

Another mid-pack finish - but better than last time for sure. I wonder what the next round will bring? I still need to improve my tuning skills for Beam, though.
Nice challenge this one, it’s a bit of a shame that my Levina had beaten the Mayster in 2 races out of three and came behind it for just 1 point 
. Anyway gg to everyone and looking forward to the next one.
