This entry scored incredibly well in the design and reliability categories, but lacked in outright pace. It succeeded in attracting sponsors and didn’t have any mechanical errors at all. Well done @Riley

This entry has incredible pace, being 4 seconds a lap faster than every other car in the championship, and for very cheap. It dominated the season because of its ridiculous pace, and kept costs very low for teams who used it. Congrats @AndiD

Wow, that was an unexpected outcome… and a very quick turnaround! Thanks!

Wow, that was quick! 2nd place, let’s go! Would be interesting to see a comparison of all the entries’ stats, if you don’t mind sharing that. I suspect some of the non top 3 finishers would be especially interested in that too. Anyway, congrats on hosting your first challenge! And congrats on the win, @AndiD

Thanks. Here’s the spreadsheet I used for scoring ITC3 Scoring - Google Sheets

the way I scored was the lowest score would get zero and the highest would get the maximum for category, with everyone in between getting a proportional amount

Did I get binned? I don’t seem to be on the sheet.

sorry, I had you under the wrong name

oh nvm I did exclude you

I’ll fix that a few hours, but I believe the results won’t change much, looking over your car
