-Engine type: all.
-Only mechanical injection, and 98 leaded fuel.
-Race exhaust and race intake only.
-5 valve per cylinder: FORBIDDEN.
-You only can use this body: 60s Pre-Wedge Supercar (download these pack to avoid problems: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=5289 (the credits is for all authors who make 3d mods for Automation). ONLY if this body doesn’t works, you can use the exotic 70s body.
-The maximum engine capacity is 6.5 liter.
-The minimum weight is 600kg, and the max. weight is 1100 kg.

-The security can be NONE (except for Jackie Stewart ).
-The costs and man hours doesn’t import.
-The car MUST BE HAVE: headlights, tailights and indicators.

And a some advice: the fuel consumption is important: try to set the best equilibrium between power and fuel consumption, or you need to stop in boxes more.
[/ul]

The last day for submit the cars are the 8th of january of 2015 (9th day I don’t accept any car).

The track is Le Mans sans Chicanes: download/file.php?id=6432 (thanks Oldgreg).

The results are calculated with a function that relates the lap time, the fuel consumption, the pit time (1:30 minute/stop), and the 24 hours.

Please, sent me the models via PM (engine and model in *.zip to avoid problems), and the car file name format is this: 74LM-[NAME OF MODEL]-[USER].

I see you soon in the track!

I really like your rules and idea, however the time constraint is a problem only 4 days is pretty short especially during the holiday season. Can you move the deadline back to January 7 or 8th?

Ok. Thanks for the suggestion. I vill change the time constrain.

I have something in the works… I let it all hang out and i have 666 HP and 666 Nm to launch my car to victory (somewhat accidental figures)

[strop]

An excellent idea, I was hoping somebody would either do this, or a Group C tournament!

Thanks Strop for the suggestion! Once these championship finished, I would start to make a C-Era (only I need a le mans proto with a bigger engine bay), and a mid-80s Le Mans C-Era body (Like Porsche 962 or Jaguar XJR12 LeMans).

can somebody please make a screenshot of the body, i’m confused

[HighOctaneLove]

Be careful using the modpack as after I installed it I got this lua error:

---

Lua Error:

tolua++ dbcall failed!: [string “–client\functional\PlatformDesignerWindowDel…”]:1334: attempt to index a nil value

You can CTRL+C on this to report it.

OK

I tracked it down to these files; Pyrlixgrille 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7

I was previously running grille 5 without problems but after installing the modpack it too caused the abovementioned lua error (and yes, I did try to re-intall my old download but the error remained )

Hopefully someone knows why this is happening so I can fix the extra grilles but until then, avoid installing these files!!!

Now I can start my entrant for this competition…

[Manche]

this choice of body… weeeeeeellll I dont see possible fitting a 6.5L engine… i tried

Screenshot of the required body for this competition: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=5197 (is the pre-wedge era supercar).

About the C-Group:

[strop]

Omg 787B! <(^3^)> actually the group c cars in general were simply mad. My kind of class.

[Leonardo9613]

The sound of the 787B downshifting must be the greatest sound… in the world.

I even tried to isolate it to use as a ringtone once…

I totally agree (video with the greatest sound: youtube.com/watch?v=az39eqLIbyU of the r26b wankel engine).

WIth shell, you would say monocoque or ladder chassis? If is this yes. If you would say to edit the bones fine, no.

The 6.5 engine is almost impossible (but I put this limitation if anyone can fit a 6.5 engine), but a 6.1 liter engine is possible.

[Manche]

I am very tempted to go after extra displacement but the sensible choice is extra valves and cmashafts… because i dont have OHC v8s in the regular partsbin

meaning that my company doesnt produce SOHC or Dohc V8s I tend to build challenge cars as if I was a real world company… using what i have around and tinkering with it.

Test your configuration in time/lap, no brute power (look the weight/power ratio).
