needs to be in the spoiler category either way
And one more thing - How do we measure the spoiler so itās not bigger than 6 inches or whatever? Some ruler mod?
On a sidenote, I donāt think aero fixture size has an effect, only the number of fixtures and the sliders.
I am gonna be fairly lenient on that rule because as you said, it doesnāt actually affect performance. That said, there are vanilla ruler fixtures in the misc section
Production cars must have a normalized desirability of 60% in at least one of the Sport demographics
What does ānormalized desirabilityā mean? How do I check it?
also
The minimum for any tech is 0. A maximum of 5 negative quality slider points can be distributed across each of car and engine.
Does āmaximumā mean we canāt go below or above -5 quality per techpool category? I could see reasons to do both beyond -5 and under -5 so Iām just checking
normalized desirability is desirability adjusted for affordability, it shows up alongside the vehicle stats in the main screen.
you cannot use more than 5 negative quality slider (not techpool) points TOTAL for the car or the engine, e.g. you could put -1 into each of body, safety, aero, assists, and suspension, or you could put -5 into safety, but they must add up to no lower than -5 total. You have a budget of -5 for the engine, and another -5 for the car.

Presenting the Calber Copacabana GTO! Derived from a sports car/grand tourer, the GTO variant is the dream muscle car, featuring an all new, high tech, fully aluminium V8, widened body, and for the first time on a Calber automobile, all wheel drive!
Iām split on having the car available to competitors, Iāll give an update on this as we get closer to the race car entry.
As a fun fact, this is a car Iām actually making in campaign, so itās actually got a story!

Alright, thanks
There is no need for a mod, there is a ruler built into the vanilla game, probably in the misc section
Hello !!
This challenge is extremely interesting, as well as extremely complex in its rules, and thank you for offering it ! But I therefore have a few (clears his throat loudly) questionsā¦ (that havenāt been asked before - at least Iām pretty sure)
-
To be clear : for phase 1, we provide a production car with its production engine (or only a race engine if we go for GTP). But if we use a variant of the original production engine, we donāt have to provide that tuned variant in phase 1, right ? Only the production variant ?
-
Does the race engine/variant have to respect emission regulations ? Itās not specified, therefore I guess it doesnāt have toā¦ Now I hope it doesnāt cause Iāll get everyoneās nerves over me for asking ^^ā Same question for noise, does it have to have at least one muffler ?
-
You talk about fuel tank capacity, Iām guessing itās for calculations only, but does the actual car has to reflect it somehow ? I donāt really see how except maybe visually ?
-
Iām a bit nervous about this oneā¦ Advanced Trim Settingsā¦ So Iām guessing sound tweaking is ok (?), but I couldnāt let my OCD not take over and I put a +3 on the body Z offset (to align it to the chassis). Now that Iāve put 300+ fixtures in place, I donāt wanna move everything again, please tell me thatās okay with a tap on my shoulder x) I also moved the engine X, Y and Z (all of this is for the production car btw, and I kept it the same for the race version).
-
For this race version though, I do have to push the wheels out a bit (+10 front, +20 rear), because of the body I chose (mod : 1979 Peugeot 505, fast checking if itās ok). If I donāt do the offset, the wheels look very weird with the fenders poking out a lotā¦ I already reduced their depth, making it almost reconsider my GTX entry into a GTU oneā¦ By the way I struggle knowing what this race car goes into, I guess weāll see later for phase 2.
-
No for the rest, Iāll wait for phase 2
If itās a yes for every point, Iāll have my entry as a proud answer, the most detailed car I ever made I think !
- correct
- race engines do not have to pass noise or emissions
- donāt worry about it, itās just for the calculations
- thatās all okay!
- so is that

Coming from Mendaux, Val-du-Mauve (Gasmea), Brunelle is a generic cars manufacturer who has been racing since the early days of the automobile. It is the third manufacturer of the region, after Chanion and Danhiez. With Danhiez, they form the āBrunelle-Danhiez SociĆ©tĆ© Motoristeā (find the short version yourself) since 1966 and share more and more of their platform.
Whereas Danhiez innovations are more comfort focused, Brunelleās are still somewhat turned towards sportiness, often working with Joliet and Fernac, two fellow manufacturers having a bigger name in racing than in mass production. With Joliet, Brunelle formed the Brunelle Sport division 3 years ago in 1981, and are focusing their work on a rally version of the brand new Brunelle 200.
The Brunelle 500 was introduced in may 1979, with the MI trim, a premium sedan equipped with one of the first MPFI system Brunelle offered from a work with Fernac in their also new āPontinā 2,2L block. Since then, they have been working on a turbo version of this ā now improved ā MPFI system. They are now proud to present : the Brunelle 500 Turbo.
It is equipped with the BF (Brunelle-Fernac) Pontin 2,2L Turbo, capable of 158 hp with an early spool. A new limited-slip differential developped with Danhiez and Fernac has been installed and provides the car strong yet smooth traction improvments. It also has rear discs brakes, and the front ones have been ventilated. Itās main visual change, the lower front bumper together with the rear spoiler lip also provide the car improved performances at high speed.
Fernacās main mechanic, Jean-Pierre Le Grand, was very interested in the project and has been approved by Brunelle to push his experiments as far as he wanted for a racing version. He has been working on the 500 from the beginning and knows exactly where he goes. He has announced its participation to the upcoming 24 Hours of Ellisbury, with his formidable Brunelle 500 Superturboā¦
Brunelle is now announcing that the
Brunelle 500 Turbo
along with its BF Pontin 2.2L Turbo
are available for any serious race team to modify
Although no pre-selection will be made, if a racing team wants Brunelleās support and sponsoring (i.e. Put on āBRUNELLEā decals as racing sponsors, and get a featured ad along with J.P. Le Grandās Superturbo entry), the team will have to contact me, sending their demand along with their creation (before the main decals are added). In order to do so, just DM me here
PS : no, this is not a complete shameful copy of real life car.

@everyone phase 1 deadline is currently set for less than a week away. I currently have production car entries from:
@Kobalt619
@icrafter
@fabiremi999
@Gautske
and @Dildoplocus
and GTP engine entries from:
@Ritz
@Riley
and @fabiremi999
If you want to enter but would need an additional week or so to get your entry in let me know sooner rather than later. I have no particular attachment to this deadline but I donāt want the people who already submitted to feel cheated out of extra time
Thanks!

Quick question, i know we can enter in 2 classes, but if i wanted to enter the same car in two classes, but change the engine so it was the right displacement, how would i do that?
Those are some nice visuals.
Could you do mine? My pc instantly crashes when i load up photo mode and doesnāt have a graphics card, so all i have right now is the editor with fixed lighting.
Thanks for the compliment^^
I had that kind of issue quite a long time ago. Iām pretty sure if you enter photo mode at lowest quality settings, do your stuff like so and only in the end enable better graphics settings to take the picture, itāll work. If it doesnāt even do that, man, Iād be happy to help, but I donāt like taking pictures that much, I had a pretty hard time getting those together. So if I do so, Iāll do basic stuff and not many.
just send in a single road car, then send both racecar variants in phase 2
but what if i want a higher capacity engine? (like for gto and gtu)
do i need to make another car if i want another size engine, or can i just say it was sold with 2 engine options (i will submit both stock engines)
submit it as two separate .car files, that should be fine
For the Entry Format it mentions the family name and the variant name does that include the engine as well?
If thatās the case then will the car be automatically disqualified for itās class if it doesnāt have ā24HE - usernameā at the beginning?
