The 1994 Auriga platform was adapted into a surprisingly competitive touring car for 1994 - although the engine maintained its humble SOHC roots, the unmistakable 4-cylinder Kimura shriek could be heard from far and wide out on the track. The iconic blue, white, and grey triangular livery was sponsored primarily by Fujisaki, SCH, and Clockwise wheels. The driver, Luka Kuelsonne, was a fresh young face to the sport and hoped to prove himself in the cutthroat racing field.
The submission deadline has passed and it seems like I got a car from all or almost all participants. Good work there in the end! Now itâs time to check the cars for any violations of the rules, balance checks and preparing the race streams.
The first cars have arrived in Thruxton already and are doing the installation laps. Iâll keep you updated!
I am a bit sad, but I have to disqualify these cars. Please double-check your entry for the next BRC to avoid this.
Another note about Engine Cooling
I failed to communicate the effects of the Engine Cooling slider and have received a few entries with settings < 0.5. In order to avoid unwanted sudden engine disassembly (), I will set all affected sliders to 0.5. This will cost the cars 1-2 tenths of a second, but at least nobody gets hurt.
Thatâs a shame. One tiny click back that would take 5 seconds wouldâve been enough to get my car back in and in contention for the middle of the pack.
Yes, I know it hurts, but itâs the same in every forum challenge. It is not the hostâs responsibility to fix the entries. I donât want to guess how much time you spent on building your car, but doing a last check would only have taken 1-2 minutes for you - I think thatâs not too much to ask for.
I am not keen on checking cars and disqualifying them. I would really like to just download the cars and trust that they are built according to the rules. It is a huge effort to run these challenges and I somewhat feel that the participants should show more respect for that by spending 2 minutes of their time to check their entries. I donât want discuss necessary fixes with each participant (or almost 25%, as in this challenge) - the more time you spend on the quality check, the less work I have.
