How the championship works & Championship Rules

It is very important you fully read and understand the following document at least once. This explains how the championship works, how points are given out, along with all of the rules we will enforce. Please read this before entering any round this season, even if you have entered previous seasons as we have a few new rules, and also skim read this every round for new rules which will be highlighted in blue.

Please, pay close attention to the full 👉 Championship Rules .

Background to the round

It’s the 1990s, and supercars are all the rage. But some manufacturers wanted to produce the fastest cars the world had ever seen, with insane speed capabilities and price tags to match. This challenge to make the fastest production car led to the crazy fast and agile Ferrari F40 and F50, the poster child Lamborghini Diablo, the quad turbo monster Bugatti EB110, and the fastest car in the world, the McLaren F1. These cars typically are really expensive, high tech, and use advanced materials in the search for less weight and more power. It’s your job to create a legendary hypercar and race the factory machine along the coast of Italy.

Aesthetics brief

It’s still the 90s, so cars were generally still quite blobject, even to some degree the hypercars, so keep that in mind. Also, no LEDs yet, and most saved money by taking off the shelf parts from other cars, most notably lights, which sometimes caused some quirky designs.

Been trying a test mule, and my first attempt turned out to be too much of a GT and not enough of a hypercar according to Discord chat responses - so I upped the power and cut the weight, raising my score from the low-50s to 86.0 in the process.
