I kinda want to now that I won’t be in the top 5… If I get time tonight I will try and put my SOHC or Direct CAM engines into the coupe body and see what that gets me… worst comes to worse I think I have my original coupe from the first or second practice runs on my laptop I can resubmit. Hard to have time to do anything of this season while traveling through Europe :\
Final revision submitted for the season, going with the coupe body. Found another .10 seconds on Automation and a full second on Monza. Seems more HP beats out reduced cornering for the coupe. If I had time to actually try out some different engine combos before the submission date I might have found a better car, but as it is I think I will place just above 20th position. I think I’m the fastest coupe body too 
Looking forward to the new season, good luck to everyone!
It will be fun to see how many of us that are gonna use the coupe. That 0.20hp/kg is really killing the true potential of that body style.
Hope the limit will be higher than .25 in the BRC1965.
My car is over the cost limit? By how much? It’s just under it for me. Could you just turn down the suspension quality? I don’t have access to do it at the moment

Yes, I am interested in finding out how many use the coupe as well. I’m also quite curious how many of those coupes are actually competitive against the wondermobile…ermmm…roadster. 
You know my car will suck, right? 
@07CobaltGirl: Quite frankly, one of my major goals was to make sure I could qualify to run in the races - your car might lose a lot of speed from tyre wear, but mine never had speed to start with!
Hope we can get a separate table for the coupes after the season.
Got my camber to -1.5 / -1.5, brought fuel usage down a whopping 0.05 or something… but hey, faster laps times as previously mentioned and I’m on sports… come at me tire wear!
Hell, we could have two tables, an overall table and a class table. That’d at least offset the people getting penalized for liking certain bodies (somewhat).
I’m still working on that tire wear issue. I have it down some, but it is still horrendous! Taking it back to sports compound takes me back to 1:50’s, so that isn’t an option considering the plethora of 1:40s and sub-1:40s I saw. Currently, camber still south of -2!
Speed, on the other hand, was never a huge problem in my coupe. I’ve cut almost 100hp from the original engine I built just to meet the .2 hp/wgt restriction. 
EDIT: 4th and final revision of the SME Coupe sent in…I hope I made it in time!
I sent in my 3:rd yesterday, but the PM still says “not downloaded yet”, i hope he hasn’t forgotten it.
Calm down, I do have a real life from time to time 
“real life” 
I’ve heard of such a thing, but never been able to figure out what it is… 
I could’ve sworn that I sent in a car that was under the cost limit…
aaanyways, 7997 is the new cost
When you find faster lap times but your laptop battery dies without warning you it was low 
Ouch.
Seconded - that sucks!

That feeling when you realise that you compromised your car’s handling when you didn’t have to, and that Leo and Max have done pretty much exactly the same thing you did, except better…
Well, this will be an interesting battle!
p.s. did not realise that this was going to be the final build phase, I thought there was a 3rd test to come, but maybe I misunderstood!
