Dajiban Racing Cup
There’s a racing community in Japan that focuses on racing old vans, the dajibans. It all started with motorcycle racers importing old used Dodge Ram Vans to transport their bikes and tools to the track. One of these racers did a hot lap in his van as a joke, but eventually the joke turned serious and more people started tuning their vans to be faster on the track.
For this challenge you will build a modified van loosely based on these racers.
HOW IT WORKS
These are the relevant stats for this challenge:RACE PACE
- Lap times: Your in-game lap will be your fastest possible lap.
- Sportiness: Higher sportiness will make your laptimes more consistent and closer to your optimal laptime.
MISTAKES AND PENALTIES
- Drivability: If the car is too hard to drive, it will have a higher chance of crashing.
- Reliability: To finish first, you must first finish. The lower your reliability the higher the chance to lose time in the pits.
