No price limit? Also 2L max displacement is too low, when you need like GT4 race cars, i recommend 3L
Yeah, that’s where I stumbled as well. 2L is fine for TCR, but then it should be any 2WD. Or GT4, but then it should be some form of BoP instead maybe?
I mean, the Audi GT4 runs a NA V10, and the M4 a TT I6 …
some kind of touring cars is also where i thought this was aiming, not the level of the inspirations
The inspirations are only meant to be for design, sorry for the confusion. These aren’t supposed to be GT4 cars either, something different. There isn’t a price limit because lower price is one of the criteria that submissions will be scored on.

So from the inspirations, the Toyota 86 and the Ginetta (if it is a G40, not a G55) are close to what you envision, engineering-wise?
Or, in other words, a GT5 challenge, but not with just Ginettas who invented (?) GT5?
The idea is make the best race car with the rules and priorities given. The inspirations are only for exterior design, not how you engineer your submission
This might be a dumb question, but should we give our cars liveries?
Not necessary, but you can make one if you want. The idea is that you’re selling to a racing team, who will make a livery based on sponsors they have.

Is a base car required for submission or ad?
As far as I know, a base car is not required for an entry.
