Being the first year they were available to everyone, this seems like a good place to start the compact turbo cup. It’s all about being small and fast. In that spirit, it is limited to inline 4 engines.
The no mods rule is mostly so everyone is on a fair even playing field.
Entry open until January 5th.
The tracks will be disclosed after the closing of the entries. This way no one tunes for just those tracks. That means we may have only super smooth high speed tracks, to only highly technical mountain climbs on so much dirt. Please plan accordingly! Not even I know, I will be using a tool to randomly select the tracks so not even my reference car has an edge.
Name your lua, “1975-CTC-.lua”. So for example, my lua would be “1985-CTC-BitTwiddler.lua”. I will only accept the first car you send to me (that qualifies), I don’t want to hassle over revisions.
Send your lua, car name, username and nationality to me via PM.
I don’t want to spend forever on getting entries in. That and I have to leave on the 9th, and I will not be sure of my computer access for awhile after that. So I want to get the races mostly done by then.
(There, strop… now we’re even. And sorry BitTwiddler. I had to pay up. Obviously for legality reasons I didn’t include the badges in the official LUA I sent you.)
Hehe well then I too shall join this sparkle party
The year number can’t be a coincidence! This being the year the first Golf GTI was unveiled, given I already ran a Mk.III in the 1600 cup, and a Mk.II in the Group B Rally, now it is only fitting I run a Mk.I here
Gryphon Gear (fictional company for Automation playing purposes) was founded in 2014, starting out as a tuning house and custom parts builder mainly for local (Australian) HSV Holdens (much to my personal distaste), until it broke into the extreme tuner and pro racing scene. You could loosely say that any tournament that allows for the tuning of high powered cars for racing is inspiration, as each of the core group of the company have unique interests and they as a whole now work on a wide variety of projects.
But as this one stands, since the year is 1975 I shall enter it independently, as part of my “tuner Golf” collection
Yes, I am sorry for having used it, but it is very good for a small fast car.
It is aerodynamic, light, has a big enough engine bay, everything you could want.
It becomes too monotonous, but which other body would I use?
The Golf is the only really viable solution, but it isn’t as good as this.
Yeah the golf body isn’t as good… I couldn’t even fit the stock mk.1 block in the golf body when I tried cramming double wishbones in there! So the dynamics of my car is going to suffer a bit!
(Not to mention I think I’m using -15 quality suspension… For the sake of power!!!)
p.s. after a little discussion, I could have made the car easier to drive around the track and therefore a bit faster by sacrificing about 10hp… but naaaaaaaah

This doesn’t bode well for my entry… I was feeling really upbeat until Automation’s Kraziest Tuner entered!
