Hm. Harris Motor Company doesn’t have much experience with this segment, as native Texas isn’t so inclined to mountainous terrain. Nonetheless, we commit to adapting and shall have a competitive vehicle ready.
Now, to build some lore…
Stryker, previously only known for it’s contribution to the World Rally Team during the BRC of 2014, is starting to put it’s technical know how towards new endeavors. While currently developing a car to compete in the Automation Compact Car Challenge the company may begin work on a new vehicle of an as yet undisclosed type. With almost all of the company’s experience being in motorsport where it excels at wringing every ounce of performance out of a car it will be an interesting challenge to build a more rounded, everyday type of vehicle.
Am I doing this lore thing right guys???
holy crap, you’re back! I haven’t seen you since we teamed up for WRT 
Hey strop! WRT was a good time 
I saw it was you who posted this so that’s a lot of why I thought I’d contribute. It looks like you’ve been having fun setting up challenges since then
Holy shit, it’s a you. I swear, I thought that something bad had happened to you.
Welcome back.
As for what Baltazar Automóveis will send in, it’s obvious. The Quasar RS325.
For the full stats and details on the Quasar, check the Baltazar thread.

Hey Leonardo! Did you go by a different name then? I don’t seem to recall your username
Nah, I did take part on the brc, but on the whole I was just a lurker 
no seriously I’ve been still going nuts on this forum for the last three years. You on the other hand seemed to have vanished, what happened???
This seems intresting… but which car to choose? RS specced Flare, Nova or Eruption? Cirrus? Ceres? Nebula even 
2, 4 or 5 seats rules out the Nebula tho… Even if an RS specced Nebula would probably get down to 8:30 round the Green Hell 
Can also be 3 seats, if you have that!
EDIT: trim year limits changed to 2018 as I will allow cars that are due to be old in 2018. But try not to do that to min-max too much.
Life got a little hectic around then. My grandpa ended up in the hospital for several weeks and then passed away. He was 86 so he had a good run. It took up a lot of my time for a bit. After that I probably just started spending time on some other game. I’ve played this off and on since then but hadn’t made my way back to the forum until now. Lately I was remembering how much I enjoyed building a car for the BRC with you guys and thought I’d see if there were any new competitions.
Leonardo, you have a good memory to remember me three years later! I was pretty active in the private messages for a bit but I didn’t have many posts in the forum, then or now

I may have a 2017 refresh of a 2013 convertible I could bring out for the party… It’s a little bigger than the old car, but we will see if the mighty AluStar 8 can hold up against engines with likely far more cylinders.
#2018 Hodan Rizun Pre-Production Prototype
The Rizun PPP is different from the Original Concept, as now there are mufflers, it’s safer, but has ended up weighing more. About 130kg more. Same as the concept otherwise.
US$26,100 @ 50% markup
Airfield time of 1:21-ish.

2017 Storm Breeze
Trim: Hurricane
A rear-wheel drive sports convertible from Storm Automotive, based off of the 2013 Storm Breeze. The AluStar 8 was bored out and rebranded as the AluStar 13, increasing displacement to an effective 3.7L. The Hurricane trades rear seats in favor of two sports buckets and a turbo kit, with a 6 speed ShiftTronic II dual-clutch sequential transmission.
$34,880 @ 60% markup
Airfield time is approximately 1:19
Green Hell time is approximately 7:59

2015 Bogliq Fox 250 Turbo
Developed to combat the Toyota 86, the Fox 250 also was produced in a turbo version so that the haters would cease to hate!
The non-turbo is, in my opinion the better car but it was too slow for the competition so the turbo car will be my entry for comparison purposes…
250 Turbo prices:
Cost: $18,500 @ 0%
Retail price in Aus: $37,000 driveaway (+100%)
250 Sport prices
Cost: $13,700 @ 0%
Retail price in Aus: $27,400 driveaway (+100%)

Albury CMS-20T: Return of an Icon
When the CMS-16 - the first mid-engined car produced by Albury Motors - ceased production at the end of 2012, it left a void that initially could not be filled. However, by 2015, it was becoming apparent that to some engineers employed at Albury Motor Racing (which was responsible for the brand’s high-performance models, including the Crusader), such a situation was untenable, and they set about developing a replacement. The resulting car, the CMS-20T, had a lot to live up to, especially since cost, emissions and economy constraints forced the use of a larger turbocharged engine.
Powered by a tweaked version of the Albury New Standard I4, which now developed 300 horsepower due to revised turbo hardware, the CMS-20T recorded standing-start lap times of 1:20.52 around the Airfield Track and 8:15.88 at the Green Hell. At $19500 without markups (or $24375 with a 25% markup in place) it is shaping up to be one of the new performance car bargains of the era. The car is already on sale as of now, so what are you waiting for? Up to 4,000 examples will be built annually, so get your order in now!

Contendiente Pulga Mk5 RR Sports Package (Limited Edition) '18.
We made the Pulga, a cute, tiny FF car. And we wondered something: could we make it fast?
We did so, moving the engine to the rear, to make it power the rear wheels (RR layout); reworked the suspension; swapped the engine for a beefier 170hp, 1.1L, turbocharged high revving beast. We also remade the body in carbon fiber and improved the aerodynamics. That’s right. Complying with the 45 security regulation, we made the car weigh 825kg.
It goes around the Airfield Test Track in 1:22, and each unit will be sold for 26500$ (15% markup included). Only 100 units will be built, of which 98 will be sold, one will be given to Griphon Gear and the remaining one will be given to Contendiente Competición.
