“What is it that you think that makes a car go fast?”
Introducing the CRCC: Cheap Racing Car Championship.
With all the strict rules on some of the latest challenges, I wanted to bring this one in with more “open” options.
The participating racecars will have a time attack race on 5 different, non-announced/secret courses. Testing all their abilities, to find out what the ultimate bargain banger is.
[size=150]The Rules:[/size]
There aren’t a lot of nasty rules, but you’ll have to deal with a very tight budget of 12000 total costs (as calculated ingame).
Every challenge does need a few rules though:
[ul]-The budget is 12000 total costs.
-All cars have to be 2014 spec.
-The cars will run on super unleaded fuel.
-The engine reliability must be above 60.
-Average reliability must be above 69.
-Safety value must be above 35.
-Gearbox quality 0.
-Max tyre width: 305 mm.
-Brakes: 4 pots all-round (quality 0).
-Super light interior (quality 0)
-Entertainment/assist quality 0.[/ul]
[size=150]The Scoring:[/size]
The scoring system will go as following, although it will be scaled according to how many participants there will be:
[ul]1st – 20 points
2nd – 16 points
3rd – 14 points
4th – 12 points
5th – 11 points
6th – 10 points
7th – 9 points
8th – 8 points

Send in the model file through pm, with the model named as
[size=150]The deadline is 14 September 10 pm CEST[/size]
You could certainly run a battleship engine but I would be impressed if you can make a carbon fibre car within budget.

Is it possible to reduce the maximum wheel width a bit? other than the modern mid engined bodies I’m struggling to find anything that can have 305s front and rear

Try the big one[/quote]
“other than the modern mid engined cars”
I know there are one or two other front engined cars that fit the bill, but the choice is very limited
I put the max tyre size at 305 mm for a reason
You could say I gave the mid-engined bodies a small advantage like that to compensate for their lack of a bigger engine bay.
I know it sucks to have some bodies less competitive, but some would’ve fallen off anyways if you looked at it from a completely competitive angle, sorry guys.
Having quickly tried a few bodies I can see that the 305mm tyre width limit is actually quite a good one when you take everything else into account. Also, Your reliability restrictions seem to have prevented us from making engines with stupidly big turbos, which is good. While I can just about meet the 60 engine reliability mark, I really struggle to hit 69 for overall reliability with the remaining money if I use the engine from a battleship
My 3500lb lump has been submitted. I fear I have gone for parts that are too expensive and therefore been compromised on engine capacity, but we’ll see
