[ACCEPTING ENTRIES UNTIL 10TH SEPTEMBER] GTP Engine Series [ONLY STEAM]

The competition is to find the best engine builder, basic to understand.

The base body car (untouchable) it is the MRP CTH-16R, pride-built by MRP (Montes Racing Performance), and it features a full-carbon body, with headlights and taillights to provide good visibility under the endurance races and overcast races, with a LMP1-styled body.

You need to built your engine to power this car, according with this rules:

Here is the rules:

The required base car is this: el chasco - MRP CTH-16R.zip (101.1 KB)

And is required the 90% of steam mods. Is better to download all workshop fixtures (except logos), and my LMP1 body (NO THE SMALL LMP1).

Ok. Here the rulelist:

And, for the engine, in the family tab, put your brand and engine internal code (if you would), and in the variant, put the engine version (put v1. If you make before the next (the first race it doesn’t count obviously) a engine revision, put v2… Logical).

Wait, and what happened to your DTM competition? (and how can we be sure that won’t happen to this?)
Also, how the scoring/racing formulae is going to work?

I have already put a like up there but let me just be super obvious… ^^^^^^^That!

It was cancelled due that some bodies and fixtures dissapeared from workshop (and obviously the cars doesnt load), and other pink bodies.

The scoring… True. I forget to put. I’m thinking to make 3 scoring systems depending the number of entries: points to the first 6, 8 or 10 cars

No economy requirements? And 4 engine reliability is awfully low.

Minimum reliability should be 40, not 4.0, otherwise the entries would self-destruct :slight_smile:

Ok. 40 could be great to make the most balanced performance/reliability engine.

And, about the economy, please, suggest a minimum engine efficiency (a 580g/kWh could be?)

Changelog: I edited the efficiency and reliability values, and added the required fuel.

Any more suggestions?

Ok. I have the unique chassis for the competition ready. Coming soon photos.

Is there any interest in this at all? I don’t see a lot of activity here…

IDK.

But I expect that the activity increases

Looks interesting … may give it a shot …
When do we start?

I’m finding a track for the first race.

Once the first race has been finished, I will decide to continue or no (depending the amount of entries).

The submission place is open!

If I update Watkins Glen, I will get back to you ASAP!

Ok. Thanks!

Will you score based only on (flying) lap times or is there some sort of racing mechanics going on?

Oh sorry! I forget the race rules!
