CSR77 - Ready, Set, Tow
General CSR rules
Previous Round
Info from me as the host
– this is my first time hosting any competition, there might be impurities or balancing problems and i am sorry for any inconvinience caused by that.
– to ease the understanding of any conversations later on, here is a guideline
[everyone on scene is doing something]
Name: [one character is doing something]
Name: “The character is saying something”
Name: the character/ his belongings emit(-s) a non-speech noice
Example:
Tom: [walks two feet to the left] clap “Hello there.”
Client background
Connor:
“Greetings, i am Connor, to my left is…” [gets interrupted by Tonsom]
Tonsom:
[to Connor] “Shut the fuck up you piece of shit!”
[turns back to audience] “Well… I am Captain Frank Tonsom, you know dipshit Connor already and over here is Tom Redwood… You know… My boss hates me and now i am forced to participate in some kind of illegal street race next year… soo… we, erm… Fuck… Talk again Connor!”
Connor:
“We are not requesting a car for the race itself yer, but in order to transport the car home, we need a vehicle to tow our entering car with.”
Tonsom:
“So… that is what we need… a tow truck to tow a car on a trailer, yeah. I have 17000$ and i want to spend it since [voice gets more aggressive] my car got smushed by some pleb in this room.” [stares at Connor]
Vehicle requirements and Judging criteria
– Trim year must be 2017, Model year can be older
– Body must be from 1995 or newer
– Accepted body types are:
Panel Vans; Trucks; Wagons; SUV’s and MPV´s
– Car has to have at least THREE seats
– Car has to have FOUR doors, if there are TWO rows of seating AND the first row is NOT a bench; Tonsom, being the oldest cannot climb in the back of a 2-door anymore
– Car has to have a catalytic converter and at least one muffler
– Race parts and Semi-Slick compounds are forbidden
– V16 engines are NOT allowed (i do not have a key yet)
– Vehicle styling is taken into consideration when choosing a vehicle. While not of utmost importance, a better looking car can offset some weaknesses. BUT by far not all of them.
–Price:
has to be lower than 17000$ at 0%
We don´t mind putting our full budget in, but if you can make a cheaper offer work well enough, it could have a chance.
LOW importance
– Driveability:
has to be higher than 55; we have drivers of varying skill levels, with Redwood having a few days of driving experience. A car easier to drive is less likely to be crashed into something; HIGH importance
– Sportiness:
Since the car is won´t crack 100kph anyway with a trailer attached (german rules for towing a trailer), sportiness is irrelevant; NO importance
–Comfort:
has to be greater than 25
The car will travel from their temporary home in southern Germany all the way to the start of the race in Sweden; Comfort is a major factor then; HIGH importance
– Prestige:
I does not matter, if the car can get the job done… ; NO importance
– Safety:
has to be greater than 40
Connor does not care, Tonsom has lived through his best parts in life already and Redwood likes some degree of danger, but being safe in a car would still be better for them; MEDIUM importance
– Practicality:
More practical means loading stuff and getting into it will be slightly easier, especially for Tonsom; LOW importance
– Utility/ Towing Capacity:
Utility has to be greater than 30; Towing Capacity has tp be greater than 1400kg.
Well… we wat to tow a car with it, so its gotta be able to do it…; HIGH importance
– Offroad:
that thing won´t see much offroading, a gravel road at most; NO importance
– Reliability:
has to be greater than 70
More reliable means less prone to breaking down, and breaking down with two cars would be a nightmare, although repair costs would be less of a concern…; HIGH importance
– Fuel Economy:
has to be lower than 12L/ 100km (higher than 19.6 USMPG; 23.5 UKMPG; 8.3km/ litre)
Tonsom can afford fuel to some degree, but saved money on fuel would be aprreciated; MEDIUM importance
The value given by Automation will be used as a reference if i cannot accurately measure fuel consumption in BeamNG
– Service costs:
Again, Tonsom can afford a car with his good salary, but any money saved can be spent elsewhere; MEDIUM inportance
– Cargo volume:
has to be greater than 1000L; a roof rack counts as an extra 500L of cargo space; roof racks are not applicable to Panel Vans or Trucks
any space for luggage and parts in the boot does not have to be towed around; MEDIUM importance
– Cargo capacity:
has to be greater than 500kg (1102lb); must be able to carry 300kg (661lb) extra for every 1000L of cargo space
(so: 1000L -> 800kg; 2000L -> 1100kg; 3000L -> 1400KG etc.)
This is mainly to prevent the likes of “loads of room but no springs to support it”; the car needs to be able to carry what is loaded into it; MEDIUM importance
– PU limit:
Engine: 45
Trim: 110
– ET limit:
Engine: 45
Trim: 40
For short:
High importance:
Driveability; Comfort; Reliability; Utility
Medium importance:
Safety; Fuel Eco, Service costs; Cargo volume; Cargo capacity
Low importance:
Practicality; Purchase Price
No importance:
Sportiness; Prestige
Naming Convention:
Car model: CSR77 - [username].
Car trim: Name of the car or whatever you choose
Engine family: CSR 77 - [username].
Engine variant: Name of the engine or whatever you choose
