Featherweight Fury - [Rules Delib until ~13/05/2026]

Community Challenges & Competitions
1

Sander is 36 years old. He has seen the car industry stray away from the core principles of a sports car: lightweightness and nimbleness. He has thus decided to go look for a niche category in the current car scene. However he isn’t looking for a Miata or a BRZ. No, Sander wants a car that is both light and nimble but also has enough power to get up hills without losing speed. And for that car, he has some money to spend.

Rules

  • Family name, both car and engine: FF - [your username]
  • Techpool limit: 75 Million (This is the sum of the techpool for engine and car)
  • Maximum price: $90.000

  • Trim year: 2014
  • Must be Road Legal (turn signals, wipers, …)
  • No Race Parts
  • Minimum emission standards: WES 10
  • Fuel: unleaded and maximum 98RON
  • Submissions can be denied if they go against the spirit of the challenge (don’t make anything over 1000 kg or rediculious ideas that would never see the light of day)

I think the model year range should be the same as the family year range.

3

It’s not a second hand car Sander is buying, he is buying new in 2014, hence trim year is 2014.

4

how do i set the techpool limit?

5

can we get some inspirations please

6

In the bottom right of a tab (let’s say tyres), you will see a button with +5, click on it and you can change the techpool spendings.

7

Not a fan of those, but de Donkervoort D8 inspired the creation of the challenge

8

oh ok, thanks

9

cool, but i meant like in the rules, similar to other challenges

10

No price range? We can build a hypercar and comply with the rules, i dont think Sander is looking for a Zonda

11

Whoops forgot to add the max price, it is set at $90.000

12

I know, just not a fan of them

13

As he is buying a car near to a BRZ or Miata, dont the car need to meet any emision standards?, dont he need regular fuel? safety?

14

so does it have to be openwheeled like a caterham or donkervoort or more Miata/GT86 style

15

Whilst somewhat open wheeled would be appreciated, you won’t get penalised if you don’t use it, since it is a lot of custom work to do. So no you don’t have to make it open wheeled

Actually thanks for reminding me of this, I fully looked over it. Fuel and emissions I will limit, but safety I am a bit hesitant on, given it’s one of the points criteria.
