CSR 137: Life after (V8) Falcodore (Completed - Results posted)

When I looked at your entry, I found it to be a mess, as if it had been hit by a shotgun filled with random fixtures. That alone would have been grounds for the client to pass it up.

And regarding the interior/infotainment mismatches that caused a lot of bins: For ~$60k AMU, you’d expect a car of the era, size and class this round is themed around to have both a premium interior and infotainment system. Also, a simple sat-nav system won’t cut it in this day and age; it does not have the more advanced functionality of a true infotainment suite.

As for what I called “chronic oversteer syndrome”: If a car tends to oversteer, then it’s because the front tires have more grip than the rear tires. You can reduce oversteer by:

  • Fitting wider rear tires and/or narrower front tires
  • Increasing rear camber angle and/or decreasing front camber angle
  • Increasing rear downforce and/or reducing front downforce
  • Installing a stiffer sway bar at the front than at the rear

Be warned, though, that the first two of these methods will increase service costs, so use them in moderation.
