I wasn’t offended by the phrasing. Please don’t text and drive (see post 56).

FullSport motors is proud to present our third model track car. New for 2020 is the Ultra-lite Road Sport. Forged from all carbon fiber, and featuring a monolithic construction, the Road Sport marks a new generation of super car. Bred from the track, the Road Sport is the first FSM vehicle to offer a production model in addition to the DIY kits made famous by the FS14 and Type II. In addition the production variants are available pre-fitted for road use (all kits may be tagged as “assembled vehicles” per your local laws). The productions models are available with a street tuned version of the PMC Performance X-21 Sports Car Racing engine. The turbo 2.1L makes a exhilarating 336BHP and propels the Road Sport to a top speed of over 180 MPH. More engine options to be added. As always the kits can be fitted with the power train of your choice.

Ok I’m submitting you can all go home now the round is over 
Sadly don’t have time to do an awesome video ad (like Maxbombe), but once I do actually finish this car for real maybe down the track I’ll get it sorted.
2020 Gryphon Gear Kelpie
In early 2016, GG penned the initial sketches of a supercar concept for an “Efficient Future 2020” competition*. At that time, the idea of supercar performance from an engine no different from a regular C segment car was a radical concept in even a radical field. But GG knew that this was the way forward in an industry that was facing rapid electrification despite the downside of significant weight gains. Thus the efficient supercar had to be compact and lightweight, and even more capable and versatile.
From the wild imagination of the design team was Kelpie engendered. A small carbon monocoque chassis housing a modest 2.3L engine to tip the scales at under 900kg, but with performance beyond belief thanks to projected outputs in excess of 420hp, giving it a target power to weight ratio greater than many supercars of much greater stature. But therein lay the entire idea behind the name: bewitching, beguiling but with a potency belied by its form until you were hooked.
The fixtures on the rear diffusers are being silly and keep switching out on me whenever I move to photo mode, hence their strange appearance
Fast forward nearly four years and the concept is due to become a reality, just as GG’s predictions are bearing fruit. The Kelpie, true to form, has a 2.3L i5 producing 430hp. But growth beyond GG’s expectations allowed them to, for the first time ever, offer multiple trim options for the discerning customer. In this case, our aspiring supercar customer in Sana Marzio would likely be after the full-fat trim, with six-speaker sound system and climate control, thus tipping the scales at 954kg**. But it also comes with torque-vectoring AWD, offering extreme control and insane acceleration of 0-100km/h in 2.6s and a 10 second quarter mile. Straight line performance is matched with some of the best handling in class: Gryphon Gear’s ethos of speed above all else remains paramount. But more remarkable yet is the fuel efficiency beyond all expectations, at over 55MPG.
Gryphon Gear: the masters of performance, leaders of the automotive future of speed. Cleaner, smarter, and above all else, faster. We would settle for nothing less.
*you can see the original concept which was indeed from 2016 here. Warning, it’s from Kee and so the stats (and appearance) are a lot… different.
**the equivalent track trim weighs about 100kg less

Well shit, just finished my entry too late.
Good luck, guys!
Question for @MrChips
Will you extend the window for the rest of the 29th?
There seems to be a clear misunderstanding (counting many users) of what the “Midnight” was supposed to mean. (Based on discussion on discord)

GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is the universal zero for the time keeping of this planet. It is located exactly at the prime meridian, midnight GMT is midnight.
In fact GMT is now just Universal Time Coordinated (UTC), the true metric.

The confusion was not about GMT, it was on what people consider midnight. Because many thought that it was end of the 29th GMT not beginning.

Alright, so here’s the deal.
Something has come up in real life, such that I won’t be able to look at the last group of cars until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest anyway. As such, I am extending the deadline to 23:59 GMT on Sunday (or UTC if you’re a nerd).
You’ve all earned a free pass on this one.

I always considered 00:00 today, so when it becomes tomorrow 1 minute after 23:59 on the 29th its over. I do know some people follow that today starts at 12:01, therefore midnight is on the day of. Makes it hard to count days (ie. does today count in the count down?). Sadly, I actually know some people that think today starts at solar sunrise. They don’t get it when I ask about lunar months.
I just checked the GMT calendar, and due to my failure to correctly add the international date line, I am effectively 24 hours off of UTC (well, ~18 now) in following the convention. In that case I have to side with the forum group here, and say that it is midnight the 29th when it becomes the 30th.
Time coordination should not e this hard…
