2022 Automation Official Design Competition (Category J Results UP!)

Trivia




After the A1GP, X99 Minuteman, and Fenrir, this is Zacspeed’s fourth attempt at making the quickest vehicle on four wheels

In one of their updates, RZEI patched the problem of the Fenrir being able to outrun the racing lines. However, the introduction of Helios means that they need another update to prevent the newly introduced car from doing that.

There is a symbol of a long-eared bunny painted on the rear wing endplates of the car. This is a reference to the “Arctic Hare” Group 5 Zacspeed race car. This is also a reference to the fact that, with its airbrakes deployed, the car looks like a rabbit from front.

The suspension reflects the 2022 Zacspeed F1 car’s suspension change (pullrod front, pushrod rear). This flips the order from the 2021 Zacspeed ZR21 F1 car (pushrod front, pullrod rear)

With the engine on its highest boost setting, it may only last two to three laps depending on the circuit. Players driving the Helios should set their boost pressure with caution when using it on longer races. Maximum boost pressure is recommended for qualifying runs.

Just like its predecessor, the Helios would require its own race class for any resemblance of competitive racing.

The Helios is undoubtedly the craziest car I have ever seen - to say that I am awestruck would be a huge understatement.

Looks amazing - totally fun stuff for Cat J or V…

Maybe just me (so my opinion) - it seems to me to be more of a concept hyper race car then a concept production hyper car. But I know the descriptions, and it does mean pretty much anything and everything can go in those two categories - which make it an awesome entry! Really-really awesome! :smiley:

My entry (not in those classes) looks even more conservatively tame and even more dated now (which is cool). :+1:

To say that the Serenity lives up to its name would be the understatement of the decade - in fact, it would not look out of place on Coruscant shuttling high-ranking Republic politicians to the Galactic Senate Building, around the time of the Clone Wars.

When I saw the Vendetta, I realized that it bore a strong resemblance to the RC5 introduced in CSR 144; the Tiburon S5, meanwhile, is virtually identical to your CSR 145 submission (which, unlike the RC5, actually won the round in which it was entered). I suspect that each of these is a new trim of a model you originally created for a CSR.

As for the Matador, it reminds me a futurized 2035 equivalent of a Plymouth/Chrysler Prowler, right down to the centrally-mounted instrument panel, but what body did you use as a base for that build? Please correct me if I’m wrong, but my best guess is that it’s built on the '05 C7 Stingray-esque body (specifically, the larger of the two available in-game). At any rate, the Matador has to be one of your most ambitious (and amazing) designs yet.

Guys, I’ve just received a notification on my smartphone from somebody which tells is Frank Stevenson with a quite suspicious phone number, saying something about my Category J submission… If somebody has received a similar thing, I wouldn’t recommend to open it because I think it is a scam or something like this
