Nice car pyrlix, the wing would be great without those metal studs, but it looks really good otherwise
Power is the key denta
Speed and Power. My car reaches >300kph on the mainstraight of the nordschleife and hockenheims
0-100 is slow because turbo lag… but the other accelerations are good
Lovely car Pyrlix. Especially in that deep inky blue, c’est tres bien.
On a side note, here’s something I found:
I think this video is fairly good at representing the types of vehicles racing in this season (minus the open-top prototypes): https://youtu.be/XI1Cx7KBBgg
haha yes, as someone already stated, it is cubic inches. Chevy 283 was the successor to the Chevy 265. The 283 was succeeded by the 327, and then the 350. Technically speaking, in 1976, I should be running a 350 or a 305, if I were keeping with Chevrolet small block platforms. All of the tests used in preseason except the last had a 265 OHV engine like the car from the 1955 BRC. The 6.2L engine used on the last preseason test is displacing 376 cubic inches.
Now maybe you can explain what (S)OHV is? There is no such thing as a (D)OHV, is there? My current engine is using a SOHC head with 24 valves.
EDIT: As explained earlier, my car is hitting 230-ish km/h on ATT in testing. Gearing will allow the car to go 257km/h, but weight will not. This is already capped. The highest gearing will allow on the car with the current engine is 280km/h, but the car doesn’t come close to that speed on ATT and so, for testing purposes, it was limited.
Well it seems my NA sleeper will not break the 2:06 mark (got it down to 2:06:08), and the turbo “deloran” I built only manages 2:05:54 with over twice the drive-ability… dangerness? Sleeper has drive-ability of .98 and turbo car is 2.8 or something. I guess I will just enter the sleeper and watch me lose because of tire wear and pits even though it can compete for lap times with the top 5.
Double OHV drivetrains exist - i saw a I6 OHV with 24Valves once… but it was a 6.4L JohnDeere Diesel Engine. Not very useful for our BRCing.
Although i would like to build a 2.5L I5 Turbodiesel with 70s technology… it would be so horrible, but so fuel efficient!
@TheBobWiley: Driveability is 2x Sportiness or the other way around? 0.,5 or 2.0 Difficulty make a huge difference for driver errors (and potential crashes) 
wut? you call 2:06 losing?
i’m still stuck at high 2:06 here
All you people under 2:08.40 are cheating.
Nuh uh!
Because of pit strategies I will end up around 13th place overall barring driver errors and weather.
Yeah, that is why I think I will run my FR sleeper car, it should almost never make an error, its like driving a Rolls Royce at low speed.
I claimed your number long ago.

As long as we are showing off cars. The ugly duck.

It is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen GenJeft.
I spent all my time on the rear, so, I’ll show that.
The car is dedicated to Murray Walker because I can so there.
@07CobaltGirl You rebel you. Also, that was a good explanation, thank you.
I think tying in historical blocks with the BRC cars is, possible, but, well… Certainly increases the difficulty somewhat. I should join you next time, lift the engine from a VK or VL commodore or something 
My number is 12, but it shows my car as 93.
Did you type “12” into the box at the bottom of BRCTool?
Also, great to see the cars guys. The trump cards will be brilliant this season!
@GenJeFT Is that a Rolls-Royce-meets-Cadillac-Seville styles grill on the front of your car? 
@Absurdist, ok, which demon did you sell your soul to to get into the 2:03 range, spent the whole day building and tweaking a number of cars and engines and the best I have is still 2:05:38… I tried through HP at the problem, 650HP kept similar times in the Sleeper FR, but increased wheel spin exponentially. 2 different MR bodies and 4 engine variants later… and still in the 2:05 range… I yield, my eyes are dead and I am behind on school work now. Guess I will just submit this new turbo car I built today because its a second faster than the sleeper FR, but guzzles fuel and I have no idea about tire wear since I didn’t have it for any of the tests…
Boogity boogity boogity, lets go racing boys!
If you know what you’re doing, then you can drop a real engine in a BRC car, I tried a Repco V8, Cosworth DFV and BRM V12, Climax Inline 4, etc, etc. If we all ran historical blocks within the cost restrictive BRC rules we’d have some amazingly slow cars.
