woooo 6th place
Thank you to the one guy that voted for me XD
Ok that was a somewhat unexpected come from behind. I knew I was submitting a totally stupid car and thought Iād get slaughtered by the first round (and I did!). Iām grateful people thought my car looked remarkable. Iām also relieved my voting habit seems to have made approximately zero impact on the outcome of that round.
Interestingly of the other cars I voted for, one was popular, and the other I was the sole voter!
I look forward to seeing how the next stages pan out.
wellā¦
i fell way down.
even with being the one with the highest score in round 2
I may have some felling to make a fast car (when necessary), but have much to learn about more complex competitions. Great stuff BFMCC 
I went back and looked at the car I very narrowly pipped, and turned out to be Ornateās rear-engined car. Well, good thing my ridiculomobile won in the end, what would we say if a rear-engined car won the Muscle Cars Cup? 
No wonder it was so fast around the track though, RR cars are frighteningly fast when theyāre not oversteering into a pole.
Damn, 1.5 points, moral of the story: Phonographs arenāt worth it as I would have done a 1:09 time on the NASCAR track
That proper engineering triumphs? You did build a proper muscle car with the push-rods and all the other decadent American design which won peopleās opinions, I gotta say that, I think I voted you for 2nd or 3rd for that as well.
You know what the funny thing is?
If I wanted to go all out to win this I would have made an RR car too. It would have just been way faster off the mark and faster in general, as you say. Iād lose wheelspin bonus but gain everything else. Sans phonograph, weād be looking at a very different result. My car won the race despite the engineering choices I insisted upon.
Only thing I learned from this thread is, why didnāt the Amerifats make more RR cars?

well, ever heard of the Chevrolet Corvair? It was slammed in 1965 by Ralph Nader in his book āUnsafe at Any Speedā And thus, the American public had been turned against RR cars. (and it doesnāt seem very āAmericanā to copy Porsche either.)
Looks like if I HAD voted for myself I would have taken or been tied for second (with the same amount of points as @Ornate, but a higher max). But woulda coulda.
Grats to @strop and thanks to @Sillyworld for running the show.
im happy with 11th place
Wow, thanks to everyone who voted for my car; Partarioās mod body is extremely high quality and without it I know I would have lost to @strop! 
5th overall was really nice, next time Iāll have to do a better job on my engineering so I can be more than just a show-pony! 
This was an awesome challenge and I canāt wait for round two! 
Itās called conditional formatting in excel,hereās where to find it[quote=ākoolkei, post:146, topic:6732ā]

Itās a shame really, your car has the highest score and the highest competitiveness!
Sorry for double-posting, but currently the competitors pack has an issue where it creates an lua error in the game. More on that when (and if) I can fix it.
Which explains why I will wait until the competitors pack is well and truly fixed before I download it
