Mine have a 6 speed double clutch sequential too, but weights almost 70kg more and a lot less power. My hope will be the torque, but a V8 against a V12 will be hard…

lol V12 vs I6 Turbocharged 
Mine is FWD V12, Honda Ridgeline style.

that’s insane. I hope you will turn your tires into smoke, but I noticed that the game doesn’t do a very good job a simulating weight shift during launch, so actually FWD seems like a solid option. and it’s a lighter architecture.

Do not worry, you are not alone 
same aces are up my sleeve as well only your car seems to be lighter…
IT’S TRUCK TIME!!!
round 9, and it’s all about the most boss of pickup trucks
and in tribute to the pickup trucks, we are in Georgia at the Swanson Proving Grounds quarter mile. lets look at the competition…
Kalahari Roamer @RaduST
this is a MEAN looking pickup truck! it’s light at just over 1800kg, and it has 538bhp, so it’s not to be sniffed at
Birch Bullhorn @Detsikeulii
for a supertruck, this looks suprisingly restrained, but that’s no bad thing at all. what is bad, though, is the weight. 2200+kg. its a heifer and then some, and with only 443bhp, it might struggle a little.
Smooth Detonator S @AirJordan
This is one hell of an intimidator. lots of chrome, imposing stance, and an air of menace. it tips the scales at just over 2000kg and has 505hp, so it might do well with a good run.
Bogliq Hauler SE @HighOctaneLove
Man, Moldova are REALLY churning out some very international and very blue cars, aren’t they? anyway, this is the epitome of a brutish truck, i mean LOOK AT THE GRILL!!! it’s another one that busts the 2000kg mark, but, with just 441hp from a 6.1 V12 twin turbo, thats not very promising.
Boss FT50 @KLinardo
this one looks…indicators. seriously, that ruins the looks for me. anyway, it’s on par with the Kalahari in terms of weight, coming in at under 1900kg, but it lacks a bit of power with just 420 (blayzit) hp, and thats coming from a 7.1 Litre engine, too. i expected a touch more
FAILED PARC FERME
@one85db failed for reliability
@Spool failed for reliability and driveability
and @Nomade0013 failed because his car literally exploded, and by that, i mean it had cooling so insufficient, the car failed.
round results will be up later.

I may be just alittle bias towards Bogliq…they make my engines…
I couldn’t get the headlights the size I wanted without big indicators and I was in too much of a hurry to go looking for the right combination of fixtures to solve the issue. So I went with the “I’M TURNING HERE/MY INDICATORS ARE TOO BIG NOT TO USE” look instead.
Very few competitors this round, I’m surprised. @RaduST if you didn’t mess up the gearing or you are not massively ovecooling than this one is in the bag…
It’s not overcooled. it’s NA and I had no need for extra cooling to achieve target reliability. I can’t remember the gearing setup. it may or may not have a granny first (for off road stats), but if I remember correctly it does 0-100kph in 5.5 s or sth like that.
So does this scrutineering fail mean I can modify my entry and resubmit?
no, it’s way WAY too late. sorry.
@KLinardo it’s just a personal thing, but thems indicators that should be on a mustang.
Take a look at Darkshine’s first post buddy - I’m well within my rights to resubmit.
Buddy you have failed at two categories and now it’s time for results so just let it go…
Cars will be scrutinized 2 days before the deadline If your car is found to be illegal the following options are to be used
- Acceptable 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. If the vehicle is somehow completely outside the ruleset (ie a van in a convertible only round) you will be contacted by the Racemaster and allowed to enter 1 new vehicle that is within the ruleset, you will however NOT be able to send any further revisions of this entry.
Haven’t been contacted.
The failures mentioned are not critical.
So pull your head out of it.
i’m ok with waiting for another 2 days in order to get everybody a chance to make a legal car. we are a little short on cars this round. as long as you guys don’t come with a complete re-design / significant added performance

If I resubmit, do well, and there’s a challenge - I’ll happily submit my original zip for review to see it was not a major redesign.
problem is, it’s 4 days past the deadline. i’m lenient to a degree, but 2 faliures is not something i’m willing to reconsider. and being the racemaster, i call it. and you’re out.
i will put in @Nomade0013’s as a wildcard, as that was well within the rulset with requisite cooling.
