Some of these are so rediculously close, like with Laguna Seca being a 0.01s difference
So my try to test only at the Greenhell did work. I really hoped to get a Top 3 place there. And at the other races I feel like the best of the rest.
Damn the best looking car was slightly better than the worst looking car
Congrats Xoury your Jaguar styled car did best

sorry, the deadline is a little bit early this time because I was a day slow in releasing the ruleset as I was very busy
Send in your cars to @Nomade0013. Cars should be named like this:
Model: ABL72/73 - Username

Have fun, and wish you all the best of luck!

I need to double post to clarify: the quality points system has been dropped. We are going with engine capacity caps.

That means we can use as much quality as we want as long as we stay within the cost limit?
I’ll see what I can do with a 1200kg car

Yep, exactly, we’re trying to make it simple and easier, as a Beginners League should be.
Are we able to re-use our ABL 70/71 entrant (but tuned to the new ruleset)?
Just to clarify, my car body from the first round is now banned isn’t it?
The LMP body is the one that JohnWaldock and AirJordan used. The supercar body I think isn’t banned. (Is it?)

Your car body for this round must have been unlocked after 1962 to compete.
Someone nows what car used this body? If there is a road legal version of this body it’s free to be used.
Ford GT40. Not spot-on, but close. I don’t know if the body is inspired by any specific real-life car.
So what now? I’m building a car on that exact body right now
Ok, so the rear it looks exactly like a Ferrari P3/4 that was a race-only car, made for LM. But the front don’t quite fit.
So to be fair, I’ll have to ban it, at least until I can figure out exactly what car it is and if it is road legal (it can be a mix of cars, then it’ll stay banned), so for this round it is out.

Dumb question, because i lose myself reading all posts of this thread. What are the full list of rules for current event?
PS instead of Q cap just engineering time limit?
