Group A Racing Challenge (Homologation and Racing) [Race Car Evaluation]

@here

Final budget table

@RMcDoug sorry man, but you are 25,5% over tech pool budget. This results in a 51% cut on your Cost and SVC Budget for your racecar. You can either run for points with this 2020-Haas-Budget or use the normal minimum budget in no-archivement mode.

Deadline for delivering the race car: 21st of April, 2159 Zulu. Cant give more time, because jobwise I will have a pretty busy may and I dont want to make you guys wait until june or july for results.

Its hard with the budget, but indeed, Primus might build cars the people want, but can´t afford. Just like a real premium brand…

Lore will explain it in a way the cars are ran by private teams without official works support, as Primus is more into group B and five.

Has there been a respectable Group B competition outside Rallye? Group A was nice, I mean DTm was a great thing, but the only circuit group really worth being a part of was group C.

I guess the ambitions of McDoug Motors was a little too high. Didn’t pay attention to the right numbers for tech costs.

Kinda works as lore. Too aggressive of a building project cuts the budget of the racing division.

If I cut my tech pts back in line with the 55 million can I transfer any of those funds back to the race car budgets?

The tech pool budget for the race car is higher than for the production car. Right now you are at 50.2 Million. I don’t understand what you want to cut back?

Anyways the offer to race for points or enter for no archivements still stands and I think its fair. I have been binned completely for much less in other challenges and keeping people inside is already increasing my workload considerably.

I’m fine with the penalty and it’s been a fun challenge.

I must not understand where I can find the exact number for where the tech pool is. Hence why I got it wrong.

I saw this challenge late so it’s to be expected

So sounds like I can up the tech pool by 4.8 million?

To get the number you got to the window, where you set the techpool. You have to 1+1 the engine and car techpool and stay below the limit with the resulting sum.

Race car tech pool is 55M.

Where do I find the engine efficiency at a specific rom for the spreadsheet?

Can still take some minutes to be 1080p.

I just started work on a race car based on my production car entry, with the increased techpool budget - so far it looks promising.

Update: Here’s what the race car looks like - 270bhp in a 1.04t RWD package costing $32k:

It’s still recognizable as a road car from the outside, although it’s as stripped-out as possible on the inside.

Regarding the suspension tuning, can we change the settings between the races or is it fixed after the deadline?

I mean it would be the realistic thing to be able to change, but thats an unmanagable workload, so its a one fits it all setup you will have to deliver.

No livery? Could make the car look a lot more interessing

Primus Astrona Group A by Fliege Motorsport

totally not a ripoff of Mücke Motorsport…

SInce Primus takes part from the factory in other groups, Primus just supports private teams for competitions the own motorsport department does not compete.
In Group A, it´s Fliege Motorsport from Berlau. The manufactor made a homologation model that was very much desired, but also quite expensive. The limited budget of a privat team doesn´t make the Astrona a contender for the win, but on the other hand, why not trying?

Are any other race type fixtures allowed? Or only the ones listed? (without changing the shape of the car).

Eg. hood pins, towhooks, window sliders, exhaust tip (as the P and R cars don’t share exhaust systems past the headers), fuel cap type, etc.

The excel sheet now has the race length preset. Now you will not have to enter that manually anymore. File still has the same link, so might justt want to download a new copy if you work with it locally.

The 1985 PhĂśnix Landhai Group A racing car

After a scandalous budget miscalculation, the car was deemed illegal and was stripped of the right for fighting in the championship. It is nonetheless allowed to start in the No-Archivement-Mode with limited budget. It was later stated in an press conference that there was a ,translation error", resulting in the overspending.



*WIP, car is still in pre season testing phase
