Economy Racers

Probably an obvious answer, but no tire limitations? Semi-slicks are acceptable?

Here is my entry being tested in Brasleton, GA:

No tire restrictions.

Behold! From grorious Nippon, the Toyoko Sundiamond ECORUN!


Based on the successful T/A racecar of the same name, this 1960’s-inspired beauty is equipped with a high-tech turbocharged 2.2-litre AlSi inlline-4, churning out a whopping 430 horsepower, powering the car through all four wheels to 62 mph in less than 3 seconds and allowing for a top speed of over 180 mph. Despite this it keeps the fuel mileage above a mindblowing 50 mpg.

So, are we doing this or not? The deadline passed several hours ago, that’s why I’m asking.

He had a issue with loading the cars, posted in support about it. I think he sorted but just give him a bit longer.

Just be sure to give the Aero Setting (Cooling) Slider a wiggle up and down after you load a new car. :wink:

also he had said 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time as I share the same time zone its only 40 minutes past that now.

Oh, I thought he said 6 a.m. for some reason. Well, that explains everything :stuck_out_tongue:
It looks like he got help with the save locations, so hopefully we’ll see some results soon. I’m definitely looking forward to it.

Whoop whoop! bring on the races

Competition entries are [size=200]CLOSED.[/size]
Thank you to all who participated.

The first race will be tomorrow at 8:00 PM EST.

The race has begun! With a blinding start from nialloftara’s Green Monster, he’s leaving everyone else in their dust. How will he fare in the corners?
The RS-01 ER from ESkuda has shown that its lightweight and big tires help the car drive as if it was on rails. Almost 430 HP doesn’t hurt, either.
Strop impressed the crowd with his retro-styled Mushu. The sponsors were practically calling left and right! However, its FF powertrain and older body may cause problems later on the track.
mer_at’s ME Abstichrinne had a screeching start, literally. The engine’s high rev limit of 8000 RPM had the crowd go crazy.

More coverage of this race will come out tomorrow.

(Sorry for releasing this early.)

Don’t forget, if didn’t send me a picture of your car’s stats, [size=200]SEND ME IT OR ELSE YOUR CAR WILL “ACCIDENTLY” BREAK DOWN ON-TRACK.[/size]

I can’t help but notice that my car’s not in that story. Did you get the PM I sent you two days ago?

There’s a few other entries accepted that weren’t mentioned. I also wanted to check if you had my latest stats, as I updated to comply with the final regulations!

umm, sorry to bother you,but according with the car picture i sent, i think my car won’t make that much power,actually it has almost similar power with Nissan VQ37VHR which i took as reference when building the engine.

and yeah,i think i saw another car on page 8 that you forgot to include in the entry list :wink:

Hey, just a heads up, I’m not including all the cars in the first part. I’ll include all of them tomorrow, but for now, only a few are mentioned.

Quick question before the races start: what stats of the cars would you like? I sent you the overview stats in a PM before deadline, would you like detail/engine stats as well?

No, that much was fine,

Congratulations to all who participated!
I’m going to put catagories up for each car.

Sorry for posting this late, but I’ll have to continue tomorrow!

That’s a pretty tight cluster up at the top. And I don’t know what to do with being in a “podium” position at the moment. :laughing:

Oh wait. Yes I do.

Make fun of the canard on Strop’s car. :laughing:
