Thats totally up to you.
Bottom right of the detailed stats. Estimated Cost. That includes Material Cost, Production Units and Engineering Time.
Affordability doesn’t update for me as I change the car; Is it allowed to manually input a fixed price? If not, any suggestions on how else to get around that?
And on the subject of tyres, is tyre diameter allowed to differ between the production and race car as well?
You need to manually input the estimated cost as sells price.
Wheels are completly free to change. Only magnesium rims are not allowed and the wheels must fit inside the boundaries of the car body.

Thanks, finally found it!
Which of the desirability and affordability stats do we use. is it the Normalized figures in the build tabs or the Best figures in the stats tab?
Thanks
Best figures in the stats tab.
How to get service costs lower I have racing mediums but my service cost is over 5000
You can try lowering your top speed (tires get insanely expensive over a certain speed), going for a smaller engine, making your car more fuel efficient, going for simpler interior or chassis/suspension setup. These usually help reduce service costs.
also reduce your camber and toe if possible, that can help a lot
No turbo
I’ve found out that getting close to the camber angle limit really pushes up the service costs - dialing it back can be helpful (given that service costs increase exponentially with camber/toe angle), but on the other hand, too little camber angle puts you at risk of falling below the minimum service cost threshold.
I don’t think there is a minimum service cost, just a floor to the maximum cost - i.e you will never have a budget less than $4000 for service cost and 26250 for car cost even if your budget would be lower by the formula
Yes the minimum service cost budget, is the minimum budget you get, not the minimum cost you have to reach.
Longitudinal engine lowers service costs.
Reduce wheel quality, that’s a big one
ITS A HIKARU OHHN YEAHHH
mate… got a new hikaru coda turbo the other day… its got rwd and a trubbooo dude its a RIPPAAAAA
this is not australia
ok so, basically the whole car is built for racing,., so like its great stock too…??? around the trakc/…
i mean its got amlost 180 horsepowrrs soooo
sorry this isn’t a serious ad, i am leaving for japan in like 2 hours so i’m just having fun with my circumstances… the submission is serious though, i do intent to actually compete. i assume the deadline for the race version is at least a few days after the 3rd of april so i will be back to actually build it and submit that too (maybe even with a serious post to follow it up)
thanks for looking. i will take a photo of a cool car in japan maybe if i see one
