Please be rally!
Uhh I like the style how this is done and presented! Good job!
I’ll take the “Best Inline 3” AKA Novelty Award, along with the May’s Choice Award 
Congrats Ornate and one85db!
And yes, I’d be up for a rally challenge. Maybe something that makes chunky off-road tyres mandatory? I see that one being an interesting rule.

Maybe, but the quality of the text and pics will drop, also I couldn’t probably do the pics on time because of my situation… of life
Strongly against of the idea of doing this any faster.

I think it should keep the pace, quality over quantity.

I don’t remember if you’ve ever run a challenge of this caliber, but it’s not exactly point-and-shoot. I’ll admit that I could have done the write-ups sooner, but I planned my life around doing them when I did.
Some of us do more than play games on our computers all day. Combing through 20 cars is a business day’s worth of writing. This was about a 4 hour stint straight through.
If @Darkshine5 sets a tighter deadline, I’ll do my best to meet it. If it’s too much to balance with my studies, I’ll step down. The community can decide what’s best.

I understand it’s quite hard to get all the photos and write-ups done when 20 people enter but, I’d like to offer my services and whatever is required to help with this competition

The challenge will not be shortened. if we bring more people into the result writing it will actually slow down the comp (as we are not all from the same time zone there is a few hrs between correspondence) What I will say is that we have up to 2 weeks to write results etc, this is only thier due to RL commitments, if the results get finished before the deadline I will release them early however the 2 weeks is to allow for a higher quality of Photoshop and reviews taking our busy lifestyles into account…sorry i would love to have a 2 week total turnaround but it just wont happen unless we gave up the pictures and reviews

Wait hold on, 52 Kw max or did I read that wrong.
Correct me if I’m wrong, I think it says 52kW (±20%) average between 1000 and 5000 rpm
You read that wrong!
Ram read it right, unless Darkshine5 meant it to be a minimum value then that rule will change to:
I hope that helps!
Ok so the average power is only a scoring thing. It is not required in the rules. It is there to punish turbo cars with massive lag and na cars with massive rpms. So an average of 52ish or more kw thru out 1000-5000rpms. Il write rules in a few hrs i am still working

Oh. That makes more sense, it’s another criterion, and not really a rule.
