100 L2 → L1 OC!!
Nice, France 1997
Séphora Lambert is a young up and coming rally driver, along with her best friend Esmée Garcia they have been dominating the local rally scene. This hasn’t gone unnoticed and a local sponsor is willing to pay the girls’ entry into the Monte Carlo rally for 1997 as privateers. The girls’ car however is not going to be up to the pace and a replacement is urgently needed.
The 1983 Knightwick Cosmopolitan is low power and lightweight making it easy to handle over the tarmac and gravel stages of the local rally stages.
RULES
Cars must be built in the open beta version of the game, LCV 4.2/UE 4.27. earlier versions will not work.
Some of these rules are real super 2000 rules, some are made by me to fit the game.
Engine Rules
- Variant year 1996/97
- Techpool: 30 points, no limits to individual areas
- Engine capacitymaximum 2000cc
- No forced induction
- No magnesium or titanium components
- No VVT or VVl
- Max engine revolutions: 8500rpm
- 95RON premium unleaded fuel (+/-0 on the octane rating slider too btw)
- Compression ration max: 13:1
- catalytic converter must be used
- Exhaust must exit rear of vehicle
- maximum noise level of 60
Trim Rules
- Trim year 1996/97
- Techpool: 50 points, no limits in individual areas
- Max cost $30,000
- No carbon fibre or glue aluminium
- Body type must have four seat places minimium
- The entry must use two front seats (obviously full size seats too. No fold out seats)
- Comfort must be above 15
- Minimum weight 1000kg
- 2WD only
- One front and one rear aero device. Only to be used to give neutral downforce
- No active aero or cooling if that actually unlocks
- No electronic differential
- Sports tyres
- FIA rules for super 2000 mandate 18"X8" wheels for tarmac rallies. I’m not going to force that but try and be somewhat near that bearing in mind brake disc sizes required.
- Basic cassette minimum entertainment to simulate radios and navigation devices
- No active suspension of any kind
- Vehicle must be road legal in France, so all correct lights and French plates. One headlight per front side, one indicator per front side, one side repeater per side ahead of leading edge of front door, one tail light per rear side, one brake light per rear side, one rear fog light minimum on driver side rear, one reversing light minimum on passenger side rear, high level brake light above height of tail light unit.
Interior is required for this challenge, make it look like a rally car obviously. Liveries are not required however so don’t worry about that.
Realism is important here, I’m aware the rules are pretty prescriptive already so the cars should already be pretty true to life anyway.
PRIORITIES
Design and realism - ngl a decent looking car is half the battle in any challenge. Especially here where the rules make them somewhat similar
Sportiness - it’s literally a car for sports.
Performance - The car needs to hit the ground running and last a full rally, so in that respect well rounded figures are needed
Safety - crashes are more common than anyone would like, the tight mountain roads in Monaco mean an off could be disastrous.
Reliability - breakdowns are no fun for anyone, the girls really afford a massive service team so a breakdown will be pretty much game over.
Driveability - be reasonable with this, don’t go sending in an advanced auto. Séphora is an advanced driver so ease of parking isn’t exactly a priority. This car will be driven right on the edge
Comfort - Rally stages can be long, the car also has to be drive between stages so comfort is a slight requirement.
Fuel economy - rallies aren’t cheap to enter. Less fuel used the better.
Practicality - it’s a racing car not a car to pop to the shops in.
Purchase costs - max out the budget, service costs don’t matter either.
Prestige - entirely irrelevant.
