It’s the name of the stat. That is a hard limit that you will be binned for going over
And yes, the budget has been raised, because I had forgot to factor quality slider use (or the recent update affected things)
Ah alright, didn’t even realize that is what the stat is actually called

So, I’ve got something put together that meets all of the requirements but its pushing like 615HP & is AWD. im going for a Euro / Italian look. Is that excessive? It’s a supercharged V12

If it fits the budget then why not, but I doubt there’s much room for anything else other than engine, try to match the priorities atleast a little.

Since there has been no other objections, I will set a submission deadline for the challenge to finish at the end of November, and allow this challenge to start to receive submissions. But, please don’t rush to be the first to submit since you’ll have a whole month until the deadline.

There is a bundle of all the old janky bodies on the workshop. It’s called “legacy bodies”

So that 550hp - should we take that as gross or net? After all, the “horsepower war” of the 1960s didn’t edge much past 430 gross in its time.
I have a ponycar prototype that is currently sitting at 420 net - which is a lowball, but it’s also a very light car, and still already manages to use all of its considerable traction.
Right now, it appears that the challenge is practically begging for people to throw mid-engine cars at it to use all that power.
I was looking at the power output on the engine & torque graph as a reference which I think is gross rating? I’ve not compared it so I can’t be 100% sure.
I don’t mind if the power output is not at the 550hp level, but I had that in there as a guess for the rough level there would have been if emission regulations hadn’t been in effect.
I’m fully expecting a few mid engine cars even though I had only made front engine test mules. It will be interesting to see the ratio of front, mid, and rear engined cars.
I would advise you to lower the wheelbase req because I have something really tasty built on 101.0 inch wheelbase because true 2-seaters after the Corvette and Vector mold tended to have really short bases back then

I can lower it to 2.55m (~100 inches) minimum if no one objects. It shouldn’t matter changing that too much.
1978 Canley Golson 530i
Constructed in a building that more or less resembles a Shed in Coventry, and using Indicators and other various pieces from Ordinary cars, The Golson 530i was Canley’s attempt to go into the High-Performance car market competing with the very best, whilst still maintaining some luxuries.
Although probably as deadly as any TVR, the 530i holds the distinction of being Canley’s first and last venture into this market to date.

Would be nice. Objections, anyone?

As someone who tried running another challenge around alternate history, I’m definitely excited for this and will try to make an entry.

Since there was no responses against it, I have implemented the wheelbase ruling change
