Don’t forget Barth bodies are outlawed in all DarkShine events unless specified in the rules to allow them.

I saw that about “Barth bodies” being prohibited unless otherwise specified.
um… what is a Barth body?
Google was of no help (it just shows me a bunch of car dealers, towing, and repair shops run by people named “Barth” and I’m certain that isn’t what’s implied here 
)
ok so barth bodies are available from the steam workshop as add on mods and allow huge engines and body morphing

Barth is a person that uploads mods to the steam workshop for Automation. His modified bodies are considered cheat bodies.

That’s something I didn’t know… 
I’ll read the rules again, just to be sure I’m okay.
EDIT: How can I know what bodies are barch ones and what aren’t, since I already put some in my game?
@Nomade0013, all of the Barth bodies in the game will be marked “Barth” or using the same text have engine size marked.

I have them, but don’t use them, not even for my company threads.

Here is Gamma Tinab. The name stands for the project initials T.I.N.A.B. that means: This-Is-Not-A-Bmw.
As you all can see, we’re using a 411hp EcoBoost engine.

I can say that I already lose, since @Darkshine5 's car was used as a base for Speed Racer movie cars, it even handle like them.

That’s it. When I can (today possibly) I’ll review some late bloomers and than we are good to go
Results tomorrow if there is no new problem with cars.
EDIT: Times ready, blurbs+pictures ready…now we wait for final revision, whose pipes were looking out of the grill…

Chevy vs Ford => Round 4 of HLC
@nialloftara Centauri Bandlands
Chevy V6
At 571HP possibly next generation hyper hatch. It’s revving up to 10k at a price of 9.5 reliability socre. Ka BOOOM. Power is send via 7 speed DCT to eLSD. It has extremely hard suspension and some funny quirks like wider front tyres and huge 420mm rear drums.
@HighOctaneLove Bogliq Fox 230R
Ford turbo 4
Wierd yet blue looking car, especially those extremely low profile steel wheels are odd. Engine is on the other hand totally un abused and nicely tuned with 343hp and nice power band. Power is send via the best shifting manual in the world to geared lsd and only sport tyres. Oh and it does not have any suspension but a couple of active rocks.
@07CobaltGirl RS Coupe
Chevy V6
Personally one of the most good looking cars this round. Pure muscle from every angle. Very
@lordvader1 Stingerz
Ford turbo 4
This cars means business. Vents on the arches to reduce pressure build, carbon brakes and 600HP turbooooo… There is a very fast shifting 7 speed DCT and strongly rear biased e-awd. Stingerz looks are slightly deceiving because even there is grill on the back of not911 body, ecoboost is under front hood.
@CMT Trial Mountin HLC
Ford turbo 4
Well this is…hmm… a very average car. It looks…well ok. Engine has massive lag producing 1.5bar but managing just 350HP. This is not such a problem since it has closely geared 7 speed DCT which keeps car always on optimal power. Trial is also very quiet, gently set up and quite efficient … but I’m not sure that count when it comes to hot laps.
@one85db OMG XG3
Chevy V6
Oh my god. I can end this blurb right here. This car is a lesson how to nail the rules so hard, it doesn’t even make sense. If you are after something remotely similar to real world, look away. However if you are in it to win it, take notes. 395 rubber, tiny body, crap interior and no cooling what so ever. I wonder, can it even do a full GH lap? Well it seems like yes but at the end engine block was just a blob of molten lava.
@DarkShine5 DSD Saragota
Ford turbo 4
Masterpiece. DSD is aiming high and it shows. I have spent quit some time just looking at all the details it can offer…well and trying to fix broken aero bits that seems to have takem some damage when shipping from upsidedown part of the world. Apart from that, 584hp tubo 4 is revving to 10k and has no problem with moving around stripped interiour and carbon wheels. Hot stuff.
@Nomade0013 GAMMA Tinab
Ford turbo 4
If I would want to describe Tinab in a single phrase, it would be: not 230i’s fat cousin. It’s another close to real world enty with decent seats, reliability, safety and mild camber. Has 400+hp, is massively over-braked and firmly damped. What is quite different to others is its only 277 km/h gear limited top speed and some lift at higher speeds.
@cyclopticgoat Cygi Isa
Chevy V6
Has your neigbour bought RS7? Do you the same…but different…but still the same? Well here you got Isa with 530hp V6 SCREAMING to 10500rpm. Because fu** tubro Audi that’s why. It is the most practical and surprisingly one of the most sporty competitors here. Unsurprisingly it’s also the heaviest. Weird quirks you ask? No power steering because weight saving is a thing in a 2 ton GT.
@MitshubishiFan VPower LCHW ACE
Ford turbo 4
When a car as big as Smart is using 37 L/100km (doing 6.5mpg) you know something is up. The best power to weight ratio, that’s what’s up. Turbo pumps impressive 618hp at 2.05 bar so LAG is the key world here. Negative effect of waiting for that truck turbine to spool in neglected by 7 speed DCT which helps to humiliate hypercars from 0-100km/h.
@AirJordan Smooth Racing Pace Chav Max (pace car)
Chevy V6
As I said, I’ll not be a part of competition, only provide a pace car. That is a car still well within the rules (apart from being road legal-which it does not need to be) but it will not take a win even if it will be the fastest.

Shit happens.
At least, my car runs like a swiss clockwork and is not only thriftiest but very comfortable. Now we can sell our Gran Turismo as “race proven”.
Congrats to the winner!

Very well done sir…very well done.
And some data towards the Saratoga’s history thank you for the hr’s and the effort.
edit: and this is why minimum cooling and reliabilty should always be in the rules. Still congrats to one85 and mitsufan for beating the toga in what are basically shopping trolleys lol

Oh yeah. Some of us were just not crazy enough.
That’s so it could use the “super-late-braking-technique”. But looks like wasn’t enough.
And the 277 km/h top speed is because during tests the car never hit the 280 km/h mark.
But what I most liked in this challenge is the difference at the cars. That’s sure a quite unique collection. I especially liked the Supra-rear-end-R34-front-end-in-a-Camaro-body RS Coupe, from @07CobaltGirl, and @Darkshine5’s DSD Saratoga (although I didn’t like the rear to much).
Congrats, @one85db, for the winning! It sure a hell of a car! It have even a evil smile!
