Thanks to all the participants! I learned a lot of stuff to improve the next season! (like to use an automated software instead of spreadsheets :<, and to release a benchmark car disguised as a safety car).
Don’t sweat about the 2016 AMWEC, there’s not a date for that, but I guess it will happen in the second half of the year, probably around october-november. This challange required a couple of hours per week, so I want to get a break from that. The regulations will be slightly different, the AP2 will be more balanced in comparision to the others, and the AGTE will be split into 2 classes, one for anything that is not a SUV or a truck (4 doors, wagons, etc) and the other for highperformance production limited cars, and I still need to figure out other stuff. Since I’ll be trying new stuff, I will do mini challenges (like 12 hrs of sebring, 24 hrs of Spa, 1000 km of whatever) to try that (1969, 1975, 1988, 1998) but there is not a date yet.
As you saw, all the winners used basically the same body, the large mclaren body, unfortunally, compared to the others bodies, that car is OP; it has a really low Cd of 17 (weird thing is that, the same *small *mclaren body has a cd of 24), so I’m hoping that when the AMWEC 2016 happen we’ll have other bodies that can compite with that one
Alright folks, time to get real for a moment here. I feel terrible to announce this, but the final installment of the Talking AMWEC race summaries (races 6-10) will not be happening. My schedule became very busy after the short break we had and since then I never really got any time to work on the AMWEC. Because of the lack of time I also started to lose motivation. I do feel terrible having to inform you all of this, but it’s something that had to happen eventually. Hopefully this does not damage any relationship I have with Sillyworld or anyone else for the future, as I look forward to the future of the AMWEC and possibly being more involved.
[quote=“squidhead”]well, i’m guessing no point in keeping this for the bonus then.

That race was not very successful for us[/quote]
Damn, that looks really cool! I like the details in the bottom part of the car.
I will change the rules so the AP2 cars will be more competite and I will split the AGTE into 2 categories, one for your regular street cars and other for super sports cars. The Zeus won fair and square, and I wanted for the AMWEC that all cars have the oportunity to win. One thing I hate about the current FIA’s WEC series is that the GTE cars have absolutely not even a chance of winning, it seems they’re just there to cause traffic to the LMP cars.
Speedemon: have you never heard of the McLaren F1, or the Ford GT40? It’s legendary rare for a GT car to win endurance outright, but the Zeus is just that level a car
[size=85]But yes, actually addressing your point, there should be no upper limit on drivability such that a car can be guaranteed an incident free race, much less season.[/size]

Hahahahaha, yes, that’s why the Zeus was referred as the Mclaren F1 of this generation
[quote=“Vri404”]Waaaait, Wait, Wait…
The Zeus Never Crashed? Holy sh-[/quote]
Nope, the stats were so high that it didn’t even have a minor accident… not even a fuse failure But all of that will be adressed for the next season!
But all of that will be adressed for the next season!
