Anachronism penalty: any individual Tech Pool item (engine or chassis) with a listed Tech Pool value of 5.0 or higher — i.e. technology that doesn’t actually unlock until roughly 1990, five years after this challenge is set — adds a notional cost penalty: $5,000 flat, plus $500 for every full point above 5.0 (6.0 → $5,500; 7.0 → $6,000; 8.0 → $6,500, and so on). This penalty counts against both the $100,000 price cap (chassis rule 19) and the Cost judging criterion. There’s no hard ban — stacking high-tech items is a legitimate strategic call, but it can price you straight out of the cap. List any such items in your presentation post so the penalty can be applied correctly.

so for example if everything is +4 and two are +5. then the penalty is $10k?

5. For turbocharged engines: maximum boost must be achieved before 60% of max RPM.

so does this mean: peak torque has to be 60% rpm of the redline?

[jorge_703]

Kinda yeah. Boost pressure can be found when testing your engine, in the bottom left of the screen. The boost you have set must be achieved before 60% of max rpm.

[jorge_703]

Only if you also see 5.0 next to a quality slider. In the image here it would be a $6.500 penalty, because 8 ‘research points’ were used to use Variable Hydraulic steering.

Setting the techpool at a value equal or greater than 5 doesn’t give the penalty, only using parts that are unlocked with that usage of techpool will.

[pcmoreno]

I’m confused. I so can have +5 all over but if I don’t take any of the “unlocked” items, I’m fine?

[jorge_703]

Yes correct. As stated in a previous post, techpool is mainly there so people can add quality to components without it costing 5 billion extra.

[pcmoreno]

So this example here. Just +$5000 penalty?

[jorge_703]

Correct

[pcmoreno]

and another question. These tech pool tech points are new to me

So this is ok?

But this gets a penalty? (even though there was nothing from +5 tru +7 that got selected)

[jorge_703]

Both would not get a penalty. Only in the second case, there would be a penalty if the number was either 5.0, 6.0 or 7.0 (since techpool is set at +7)

[pcmoreno]

ok I think I’m maybe understanding it.

By the way, what is the hp range you’re looking for here?

[jorge_703]

600+ is easily obtainable. More is possible. Pretty dependable on what philosophy you are going for

[Madmx1991]

i am really sorry but how do i see cost?

[jorge_703]

Press summary and then statistics. Summary is the button before the yellow factory all the way at the end

VALK XG-33

THE ENDURANCE CHALLENGE STARTS HERE.

640 hp. 636.6 Nm. Nearly 600 hp per tonne.

At the heart of the XG-33 is a 3.3-liter twin-turbo flat-six, delivering its full potential at 8,000 rpm. But raw power is only part of the story.

With massive competition tyres and a carefully balanced aerodynamic package, the XG-33 puts its power to the ground with precision. It’s light, agile and nimble through the corners.

But where the XG-33 truly comes alive is under acceleration. The combination of its power-to-weight ratio, turbocharged punch and relentless traction delivers an explosive surge that defines the car’s character.
