Great race @phale!

582

yep it was very good, but RNGesus DICKED ME OVER IM NOT BITTER!!!

583

Thatā€™s a really bad time that I make, fogot to use carbon chassis/body, had too much weight. Should have made a little more prototypes tooā€¦

Congrats for the winning, @phale! You desearved it just for making that insane amount of power!

584

I suppose I should have cranked up the power with the powerplant from the Boss Brutus. I was also wondering why I had so much money left over. I suppose carbon fiber would have been more useful than aluminum. Not to mention, I made the mistake of sending a circuit racer to do a dragsterā€™s job, but Iā€™m happy with my car.

585

Iā€™m glad I achieved semi-final status this time around and congrats to @phale on obtaining sweet, sweet victory!

@JohnWaldock, what was the roll for the FOA Vampyre?

Edit: I was curious about the times and power to weight ratios we were getting for this round, so I made a basic spreadsheet. Hereā€™s what it looks like if anyone else is interested:

I am sure I could have gone faster by adding more power and adjusting the gearing accordingly to keep drivability above the threshold. Congratulations to @phale on winning - this round was a foregone conclusion with so much power at his disposal! My car was one of the better-looking ones in this round, though, and has plenty of growth potential.

Now what will the next round be about? In fact as early as round 3 I considered entering this challenge, but chose not to because I was afraid I could not deliver a competitive car against such strong opposition.

I got all excited about this challenge when I saw the threads title, deadline 12/9/16 - I thought this would be a great re-entry back into Automation!

But the round is over. See you next round! :slight_smile:

This always seems to be done backwards, it should be @AirJordanā€™s pick this this time.

594

iā€™m the challenge master now. MAH RULES. mainly because that happened the last time

595

Thatā€™s what I thought too, the last champion usually pick one. Thatā€™s why the DRC 1 donā€™t had a car selected by the champion.
