Hot Lap Challenge HLC round 7: wnb V8 SUPERCARS 15.11.2016, 12.00 (noon) CET

awd and turbos are okay i see :smiley:

Yes, turbos and AWD is fine. I meant to limit it to RWD, but I left that out in my ruleset, so I figured most would capitalize on it.

Thanks, I couldn’t decide on a head light, so started playing around just being silly and my 7YO son walked by and said “WHOA that’s cool, daddy!” so I figured that’s the one. :slight_smile:

That soul tingling sound of a big v6 bouncing off a 10,000rpm rev limiter.

Love the look of that thing - the rear reminds me of a 2002-04 Lotus Esprit V8 for some reason. I suspect your car is normally aspirated, though.

Also, this challenge seems to tie in nicely with Harris-Albury’s company lore - I once submitted a car using the not-MR2 body for an earlier challenge, and am considering submitting a remake of that vehicle for this round of the HLC.

It is normally aspirated, I’m banking on the downhill being much harder on spooling turbos than lower torque linear NA’s, so my omega should stay more controllable on corner exit than a boost happy turbo. It’s not exactly a slouch in the power department either, once you get it spinning up past 7000rpms or so it’s quite the rocket, I’m sure a big turbocharged AWD monster will shoot past it but will it be able to handle as well around the hairpins? I’m betting on no. so all I’ll have to do is make a decent showing on the ATT and Daytona to keep in the running for a podium.

But this is racing so who knows what could happen .

CM2, the best not a MR2 car ever!

Using a inline-4 turbo engine with 2.2L, DOHC, 16V and VVL generating 351hp and with less then 1400kg, brings you from 0 to 100 km/h in less then 4s!

CM2, the perfect car for that midnight touge!

(Sadly it isn’t the car to win, since I didn’t have the time to spend tuning it, it is underpowered and to economical, but I got some cards in my sleeves, so I can fight for a 5th place, maybe)

Damn, that looks good! Like a cross between an R32/33 Skyline and a Rover SD1… so good :persevere: I get it’s really simple but I like it a lot for some reason

Deadline is here! Anyway, I’m not sure I’ll be done with everything today so you can still try your luck with submitting but I’m not promising anything.
