Drag Racing Challenge ROUND 13: 3 Cylinders Light Weight Sport Budget! Deadline 15/11/2016

rules. the appendix of rules.

I belive heā€™s talking about this:

ā€œAll vehicles that are entered Must include at least the following fixtures, Front and rear headlights including a visible orange indicator lens visible at the front/back/sides. Some form of visible door handles. A front grill/air dam. The engine cannot be exposed (unless allowed in the round ruleset)ā€

I admit that I failed to read that. But I would be very disappointed if Iā€™m DQā€™ed over this. I kinda like the look and I specially placed a simple hole grill there. I kinda view it as a feature. :disappointed:

ā€œAcceptable revisions are allowed once each round but only if there is a
repairable issue with the vehicle and the Racemaster has contacted you
to fix it.ā€

I hope the Racemaster will allow my liberty of expression. @JohnWaldock thatā€™s still you, right? I hope I didnā€™t pmā€™d the car to the wrong guy :slight_smile:

yes, it me.

iā€™m more concerned about some of the engines you guys are running, and as for @one85db, just soooooooo much is going on with yours.

Iā€™m used to people hating me on here.

that MPG US or UK? and i did specify over. cheeky :smirk:

Read the PM you have my file.

i know. iā€™m not hating, but i was legit concerned about the legality of some of these cars, you see what happened to that first Boliq? i donā€™t want to fail anyone before their car is run. youā€™re running tight as hell with that MPG and Radu is close to the engine being illegal, and also iā€™m deeply worried that youā€™ve gone negative on the Q sliders.

Well, this is only my second round, but I must point out that a V6 at the back of a road legal small hatchback is much more common than a V12 in a road legal minivan.

i know that lol, mineā€™s MR too.

No, there is no negative quality sliders, there are some positive ones, though. If you have a problem with my entry you need to take it to a PM not call it out publicly. You have my file check it for yourself.

no issue whatsoever. none. i just want to be as clear as i can with everybody.

I would rather send you a revision with vanilla grilles/vents just to make the car legal + some amber signal lights or any other light if Iā€™m missing any. As far as I know I have no way of precisely identifying the grilles/vents I used by name so I think this is the best option. Also, for the sake of the rules I will find a way to completely cover the engine.

Everything I used on the car was downloaded from the Steam workshop.

But, I would really like too keep the current image of the car for display purpose. I know the rules do say orange light but in real life you can get orange light from a clear LED. I know the rules say that the engine must be completely covered but in real life you could get a transparent plexiglass cover that would still allow engine display. To me itā€™s just a matter of not having the right fixtures in the game to achieve oneā€™s vision. So you have to get creative.Example: I actually used chromed vents as headlight because they look more like what I want. I added the round ones just to be compliant with the rules.

Is this variant acceptable from your point of view? I send you a crappy looking car with vanilla fixtures and you judge me by that, but I get to keep the current image of the car for display purposes?

iā€™ll go on a fixtures spree first, if itā€™s still not kosher, then a revision will be ok.

You may know this but after you grab the fixtures you have to re-import the car files to reload the fixtures that your game erased when they werenā€™t available.

done and done. iā€™ve downloaded nearly all of the SW fixtures and reimported. IGNORE IT ALL!!!

so, everyone seems to be a-ok. just need to fine toothcomb it, but i can reveal that the entire field is within 3 seconds. thats including me tooā€¦

and after some VERY late tweaks, i now have 153bhp.

The deadline has passed yet you are still tweaking?

the deadline is 23:59 BST. i say by the 1st, that means ALL the first.

I see the 31st not the 1st, where did you say that? If you are going to change it then you need your own thread that you can update so we all know.

well shit, i got confused with the CSR deadline, i will withdraw my entry and then proceed to jump off a cliff as i have brought dishonor to the world (it was the slowes either way)
