Why an open diff for the 60s when a clutched LSD is available in that era? To keep costs down?
Just a curve ball. I personally love open diffs and usually carry it to 80s even. I want to see how people try to keep the drivability up without the LSD
Eww, one-wheel peels from a car that’s supposed to be legendary? I’ll think up something.
I would like to suggest if you want participants to enter 3 cars for this, that you would consider either dividing the entrants into three stages to reflect the three eras of cars, or to extend the deadline. I am not going to speak for everyone here, and I am not trying to make assumption on your own situation, but I myself will be having at least 35 hours of work a week for the next few weeks, as well as other responsibilities that I will need to attend to outside of work.

Yeah, the only way I’m at all hoping to have three cars ready is because at least two of them are substantially done. Even then, it’s ambitious.

What if you just turned this into a team challenge— could be teams of three with one car each.
That already exists tbh
Judging in progress, and it’s not as if teamup-specific challenges should be the exclusive domain of the eponymous challenge series.
Technically nothing stopping you from teaming up with people to do just that, unless the host specifically says not too.
Does the three cars have to be competitive in a single market across all three decades? My 60s 2 door coupe is apparently a sedan as viewed by the came and is stronger in Pony than Muscle as a result.
Alright there seems to be a little rethinking on the rules and time frame for these that might be needed. I’ll be adjusting the rules and the idea and get back to you all, for the time being, this current challenge is cancelled. But I’ll make a better system and come back to you with a new challenge.
No worries - I found a litany of problems with the rule set as it was originally defined, leaving plenty of room for improvement. But I could take the idea of evolving a (light) sports/pony/muscle/GT/supercar model line over several decades, and expand it to cover every decade from the 1960s to the 2000s (and possibly beyond) - to be posted in one of my threads instead.
I like the idea though. There should be a way to make it work. Perhaps different rounds for each decade, with points given to continuity of design.

Honestly, this is a great idea. This could be used to give people more time for creating what was originally three cars by giving people a month (?) for each decade, perhaps.

I just finished mine … Ah well. keep at it, maybe do a 60s then 80s then 00s with two or three weeks between them?
Ah man, why did this get cancelled.
This got cancelled for a better idea in my opinion (and everyone elses, it seems) so there challenge is still here, but with a revamped and easier to understand ruleset and rounds for each decade specified. So don’t worry, the challenge is still here in a new thread!
