It gives a benchmark to people who haven’t submitted theirs.
Sounds like my month-long break is over.
I’m in!
Edit: Zip sent.
My car is the 3.0 V8 powered, 1.17g, 370bhp, o-60 in 4 sec, 130kg of downforce EGT-84B, soon in the PM box for someone
The max. engine size possible for this challenge is 2142cc. (If the 3.0 means something else, then feel free to rage )
No Pleb, 2142cc is the maximum TURBO engine size. A 3.0L NA V8 is fine.
Oh yeah, darn my stupidity, I worry about myself sometimes…

Theoretically anyway. I chose the power disadvantage of a N/A engine because on any uphill sections a huge turbo is going to be a pain to spool up, especially in a 1100kg car.
Not necessarily. My turbocharger spools up 500 rpm before the downshift rpm, so the turbo is in full spool all the time in my case.
Also, the game doesn’t take into account the turbo spooling down when you lift off in the track simulation. it just assumes that the turbo is going as fast as it can for the engine’s RPM once the throttle goes back down
Can I use Advanced Safety?
I’m fairly sure “Standard safety” was a minimum requirement, I think it’d be safe to use above that. Don’t see why not.
Yeah, at least standard. If you need more weight, the easiest thing is to go for heavier interior packages.
How are we allowed to make changes between the rallies btw? Like, keeping to same platform and engine block? Or?
I think there is no tweaking between stages allowed.
Well I thought sunday was just the first deadline for the first stage? I don’t know if I interpreted it correctly. Just thought of it since in Rally teams usually tweak gear ratios and settings depending on the stage. If not, my final drive ratio gonna screw me over on the 2nd stage
I believe that’s the point - to build a car that isn’t set perfectly for one stage only and nothing else, but is good all around. Martin would not write not to spend too much time tweaking the car for the first stage otherwise. I believe it’s the deadline for the entire rallye
Yeah, you build one car and it races on all stages without modifications. Otherwise it would not be manageable anymore.

Thought I’d show off my car for Group B and Demo 1600.
