is not a success, with only one participant.
Name : HighOctaneLove / Team : Bogliq Automotive - Moldova / Car : Ungoliant GT Modified
This is a very lightly modified car, and very much suited to daily driving and high speed blasts down the track or an autobahn. But we feel that with a much less restrictive rules of it’s class, it could have been a lot faster, probably faster than the D1 and D2 classes

[size=150]D1 class[/size]
this class is successful, and will be developed in the future.
#9 Name : Vri404 / Team : Guardian Developmental Division - Japan / Car : DHS Sakura “Matte Menace”
A 6 liter DOHC v12 with 60 valves develops modest 643 hp, which is very much the limiting factor for the Matte menace. Given more OOMPH the result could’ve been a lot better.
Speed recoreded : 314,14
#8 Name : LordVader1 / Team : LVC motors - Germany / Car : Neckbreaker
The complexity of the construction and exquisite materials left way too little budget for LVC motors to work on advanced aerodynamics and engine. Never the less, it’s v12 produces 789hp and is taking the middle ground between 3 and 4 hundred kph
Speed recoreded : 348,70
#7 Name : Coolghost / Team : Jousa Slugs - Finland / Car : VeryCoolCar
An unconventional choice of body, and our first V8 on the list of D1 class. 40 valve crossplane v8 pushes the power into the 825hp region. Use of carbon fiber body over steel chassis is a compromise between all out lightweight CF and cost cutting, but the results show that the money spent on CF would be better spent on aerodynamics.

#6 Name : DeusExMackia / Team : ErinSport - United Kingdom / Car : ErinSport CRP-4C “Duke’s Terror”
Unlike team Jousa Slugs, Erinsport opted for a Carbon Fiber chassis and aluminium body, with it’s simpler and cost effective 48 valve v8 reaching 807hp, it however was only enough to be within reach of the top runners.
Speed recoreded : 387,01
#5 Name : olebolesparabol / Team : Fenris Motors - Denmark / Car : Hulebo Ultimo
A full carbon fiber chassis and body have prevented this car from truly breaking into top 3, but we can see that the team is on the right track, as their 48vv v12 produces only 762hp, yet good aero research has allowed to reach serious speeds.
Speed recoreded : 389,61
#4 Name : Thecarlover / Team : Lovely team - Petrolstan / Car : Lightning D1
On paper - this car should not have reached these speeds, but it did surprise us. Unvonventionally high tech, expensive chassis and body, high tec 60 valve v12, and only 698hp, yet it managed to snatch 4th place! Proper placing of quality sliders and taping off cooling vents matters, and this is proof of that!
Speed recoreded : 390,03
#3 Name : HighOctaneLove / Team : Bogliq Automotive - Moldova / Car : Ungoliant
Team Bogliq is the first of our D1 participants to break the 400kph barrier, and in a car that seems to be production derived! Take this, Mr. Bugatti! It’s 1994 and Bogliq is already closing in on you! A heavy steeel monocoque and partial aluminium body makes this car on the heavy side, with 1400+kg, but it does not matter much as it saves a lot of money to play around where it really matters! An all aluminium 60 valve v12 pushing 860hp takes the most powerful N/A engine in D1 award, and some good aero settings allowed HighOctaneLove to take the 3rd spot in the D1 class.
Speed recoreded : 401,88
#2 Name : Squidhead / Team : Kraft Haus Technik - Germany / Car : LSR 94 RW
A slightly different approach to HighOctaneLove’s Bogliq - this car is also based on a steel chassis, with fiberglass as a material of choice for the body, a very cheap cast iron v8 with single overhead cam and 32 valves produces 772hp by heavy use of quality sliders, but high quality aero and drivetrain, as well, allowing for the imperfect engine an easier job at slicing through the dense air at speeds over 400kph.

#1 Name : AirJordan / Team : Smooth Racing - United States of WHATEVER / Car : Smooth Goo
Honestly… we got nothing. It looks as ridiculous as the ease with which it beat every other competitor back to the drawing board. It’s just 1.3 tons of v8 power, running at 831hp. Good build, and a new pace holder for all of us to beat. Congratulations on the win, on behalf of DAR team.

[size=150]D2 Class[/size]
Class is a success, and will be developed in the future.
#7 Name : Sillyducky / Team : Silly Race Works - Sillyland / Car : Fahrzeug C2
Running at 760hp, this 3.8 twinturbo v8 has failed to produce viable results, and is the car’s main downfall. Given enough time this team could get up to speed and come back wiser, more aggressive and faster
Speed reached : 354,26
#6 Name : Thecarlover / Team : Lovely team - Petrolstan / Car : Lightning D2
Another solid car that was undermined by it’s engine. The 40vv v8 produced 812hp, and it was just not enough to run for a high position. The lightweight full carbon chassis and body did not help by chewing into the budget, removing the option to upgrade the quality of the drivetrain or aero
Speed reached : 396,48
#5 Name : Coolghost / Team : Jousa Slugs - Finland / Car : MuchCoolCar
In all honesty - we do not know where this went wrong. With a 1094hp engine, second most powerful in the competition, the possibilieis seemed limitless, but lack of attention to aero and budget has struck yet another team, producing a less than expected result. We at DAR believe that given other material choices and better aerodynamics this car would be a contender for the victory
Speed reached : 399,91
#4 Name : RaduST / Team : Modern Tribute Shops - Romania / Car : Malaxa Aero HSC
A very unconventional body choice, this essentially is a 1961 chassis upgraded and updated to 1994 standards. We are slightly sad not to see this run in the S/L modified class, but too much of the original was removed to have this car run in D2. Powered by a measely 862hp turbo engine, a full steel body, size is the best friend of this car. Being small it manages to be just light and cheap enough, leaving lots of room to work on breaking through air and making the car more slippery. A good gamble on the body type, but it fell just a bit short as 2 cars sent in in the LAST 30 MINUTES of the competition turned out to be quicker. None the less - a very good result
Speed reached : 422,73
#3 Name : HighOctaneLove / Team : Bogliq Automotive - Moldova / Car : Shelob
A car very similar to other chassis Bogliq Automotive has brought to Dessau, and that means the same high level of attention to aero is present in D2 entry as well (if it aint broke). The engine produces 1018hp, which is enough to JUST break into the top 3 of the D2 class. A good effort by HighOctaneLove and team Bogliq Automotive, with solid results!
Speed reached : 428,16
#2 Name : AirJordan / Team : Smooth Racing - United States of WHATEVER / Car : Smooth Mustard
Looks familiar? We still got nothing, we’re just like you still staring at the thing, periodically laughing at it’s name, and then looking at the registered speed and going to shock again. What surprised us is that 1089hp, over 200hp more than the similar chassis of Smooth Racing D1 class, the overall speed increase was only 10kph. It still allowed Smooth racing to grab second place in D2, but we feel that it could be
#1 with just a bit of extra work.
Speed reached : 448,88
#1 Name : BurningBridges / Team : DMW - Germany / Car : DMW 9436 H7R
Team DMW was running top speed competititons in the early 90’s and their expertise in this field shows instantly. The 1309hp powerhouse in a cheap steel chassis, covered in fiberglass, high level of attention to details, especially aero, and we got this, the DMW 9436 H7R. While next year the classes will be changed to C1 and C2, allowing for more power, we are sure that only the chosen ones will be able to get close to this monster. Congratulations to Burning Bridges on a job well done and the official top speed record holder in D2 category for 1994.

So I think I’ll make it a bit shorter still, but how much exactly? Something in the range of 4000 - 5000m? Or 3 miles = 4828m?
