*I still need a working copy of your cars.
(Depending on the amount of people that enter this, this may become a series)
The year is 1990. You and a couple of mates are watching the Le Mans races on TV, cars whizzing by the camera and all. You imagine yourself in the Jaguar XJR-12, flying down the Mulsanne Straight, twisting through the chicanes, then reality hits. You’re just a young lad who works for his Father’s shitty dealership. You and your mates get together and decide to start your own little endurance race with the clapped out cars in the back of your Father’s dealership. You use the little money and resources that you have and bring these cars back from the dead, and maybe even a little more.
[size=150]Basic Idea[/size]:
The whole concept of this race is fairly simple. You have a choice of two cars, the 1980 Solstice Buxton or the 1980 MM Carbon, both of which are *relatively* shit cars. You have $15000 and the total cost of the car that you chose will be deducted from your starting money of $15000. Which means that if you choose the Buxton, you're only going to have $9981.91, because the total cost of the Buxton is $5018.09 and if you choose the Carbon, you're only going to have $10032.77, because the total cost of it is $4967.23. You can use the money that you have remaining to do almost anything to the car...
The cars: <a class='attachment' href='/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8c5aff082f7d675d2faa5907cebc578d8084322f.zip'>24 Hours of Automation.zip</a> (29.8 KB)
The Buxton will require the following grille: [37.120.160.45/PyrlixGrille4.rar](http://37.120.160.45/PyrlixGrille4.rar) If you are unsure on how to install it, just ask.
[size=150]Tracks[/size]:
The tracks will go as followed:
21th December: Circuit Gilles Villeneuve download/file.php?id=8306
22th December: Shanghai International Circuit download/file.php?id=8294
23th December: Silverstone download/file.php?id=6824
24th December: Green Hell download/file.php?id=4914
26th December: Circuit De La Sarthe (with chicanes, of course) download/file.php?id=6431
The results may not be on time on all 5 days, but patience is key. These circuits are radically different and you’re going to want to make your car good in all aspects and suitable for all tracks, not just for a particular one (though if you wanted to, I guess you could do that and hope for the best).

[size=150]Things You May and May Not Do:[/size]
You may:
Swap the engine out,
Modify the current engine,
Change anything you want in the "chassis" tab,
Change any of the fixtures,
Change the colour of the car,
Use positive and negative quality sliders,
Use modded fixtures,
Use engines from any year up to 1990, the car MUST stay in 1980.
You may NOT:
Modify the car with Lua and all that,
Re-make the car entirely (re-morph the car, in other words).
[size=150]Car rules:[/size]
You must have headlights, tail lights and fog lamps,
You must use standard 80s safety at the very least,
You are recommended to have at least 65 reliability, anything under will result in you having an extra 10 seconds per pit stop.
Pit stops will work like so:
Each pit stop will take 30 seconds (adds 30 seconds to your track time), and will be judged on your fuel economy (all units are in UK MPG),
<15 MPG = 5 pit stops
15-20 MPG = 4 pit stops,
21 - 25 MPG = 3 pit stops,
26 - 35 MPG = 2 pit stops,
36> MPG = 1 pit stop.
