@Dorifto_Dorito That livery is honestly gorgeous. Perfect choice of colours.
@Fayeding_Spray Love the thin headlights on that thing. I look forward to competing against it, with any luck our two cars will be quite well balanced and we’ll be able to see whether Turbo or N/A is better using this body.
Developed from the 1982 Phoenix, the Phoenix GTi is a revised, redesigned model of it’s predecessor, with a new more modern chassis made from corrosive-resistant steel, a shorter wheelbase and new aluminium panels. In addition, a new smaller engine 2.8L V6 Turbo replacing the larger and older NS70V8 ‘Buzzard’ engine, making the car significantly lighter.
The GT-P spec was a modified race variant of the OAM Phoenix GTi. By replacing the aluminium panels with lighter kevlar reinforced fibreglass body the car becam significantly lighter and faster. In addition, the 2.8L V6 Turbo used in the GTi was modified to fit the rules of the ATT.
This car is using OAM Racing Team #55 ‘Yellow Bullet’ Livery used in OAM’s entry into International Rally and European Touring Car Championships.

Oh, this makes more sense and here I thought @DeusExMackia’s Erin and @Fayeding_Spray’s Hodan entries were for the GT-P class. This explains why I was completely unable to match their power outputs Well looks like I’ll be competing in both classes then.
Youve got the name and trim the wrong way round. The car name should be ATT85NAME, and the trim name is your choice. Same for the engine family and variant
Well looks like I’ll be competing in both classes then.
