My service cost exploded. Lets see if I can fix this and still make it run somehow fast.

Presenting the unholy union of engineering by Norðwagen and bodywork by TIO Design House (@drdoomd1scord)…
Yeah, we’re listening, but you’ll have to either overpower the soundtrack, or get closer. In either case, good luck with that.

Considering how it looks, Mentalwagen would be a more fitting name for it!

RESULTS RACE 1
The first race has been held up at the ATT - with a strong field of hig-performance race cars. The main score is the lap time, I also calculated the median value of drivability and reliability, cars being below this get a penalty of 0,1 seconds per point below, representing mechanical failures or driving errors due to awful handling. The penalties are already included in the results posted here, affecting @ErenWithPizza the most whose car was really fast as hell but undriveable (score of 5 compared to 38 of @Vento and had the third-lowest reliability) and @Mausil , the car was only a hint more driveable than Eren´s death trap but also the least reliable.Points reglement is taken directly from DTM 2000.

Three races left - I hope that I can publish one per day.

I was hoping drivability wouldn’t make this big a difference so I sacrificed a lot of drivability for a couple seconds less around ATT

You lost 1,5 seconds for drivability, so “a couple of seconds” seem like a great deal then.
I tried to keep the penalties fair to reward the effort to become the fastest. Moroza has a 0,5s penalty btw.
Yeah it seems fair enough
I scored points woo!
Clearly I needed to spend some more time gaining drivability, but the whole tire debacle ended up changing my focus pretty dramatically. Looking forward to more races!
- Same engine, weight, tires
- 6+ seconds behind on a 2 minute track
Great Success!
wait what we only had a short time to fix? Fuck.
Yes, the update confusion affected us all, I also scrapped my Letara racing car and my CSR car also wasnt updated, but if this challenge is considered as good by the community, it will return next year
@Fayeding_Spray : Despite being definitely affected in a negative way, your car is still in the budget. I will let it run as it works. You even scored a point, but I didn´t take away the one Herman gained. Scrutinized once again, it is still rule compliant despite no resubmission, so why should I exclude it then?
@machalel: You forgot to adjust the cost somehow, you are 600 over budget. Sorry for not telling you this when I started the race. But, 3 quality points less in tires make the price 79.900. I did exactly this. You are disqualified for the first race for this unfair advantage, however, I will run the car in the next race with the adjustments I did, pretending the garage fixed the issues meanwhile - that´s how it would have worked in DTM.

Race 2 - TRI-OVAL
Different tracks means that cars with different strenghts and weaknesses can indeed become better or worse in the ranking - today the fastest cars are honored, as it is about engine power today. Not only, but it plays a more important role. The car by @machalel now joins us with cheaper tires that meet the requirements of HTM. Favourite is of course the Metalwagen, but we will see how this turns out.

Without penalties, rank 1 and 2 would be almost on par - and the Arlington seems to be a lot better in cornering than at pure speed. But the remaining two races will be on twistier roads, and the black car will be back soon, as we assume.

Damn, it must have been the latest update 
But thank you for keeping it in the running

Race 3 - Grand Prix track
It is obvious that the Arlington lacks power compared to the Metalwagen, while the Mara does have an advantage in the engine as well. Now on a rather long track, with both curves and straights, we will see how this will end.
Since HTM seems to be popular among the entrants, I decided to add a fifth race! This will also leave CSCS entrants a bit more time, another update isnt likely to appear now as the devs are doing their christmas parties.

As of now, top 5 standings are:
@moroza 60P - this car is a nut impossible to crack
@Texaslav 40P - twisty tracks make it the only car the Metalwagen has to fear thanks to superb suspension
@ErenWithPizza 37P - very flawed in terms of stats but fast as hell
@AndiD 28P - the surprising underdog
@Riley 25P - not bad for a speedrun build, btw.

Race 4 - GT track
This is NOT the last race, but if the Nordwagen wins again, the winner is crowned - but the fight for silver and bronze is still open. Let´s see what happened today:
Rank 13: @Mausil with 02:00,13
Rank 12: @Fayeding_Spray with 01:58,76
Rank 11: @HermannMatern with 01:58,68

Rank 2: @Texaslav with 01:53,11 - 15P
WINNER: @moroza and @DrDoomD1scord with 01:50,49 -20P
Now, with one race left, it is already decided that @moroza wins HTM 2000. The second place is most likely taken by @Texaslav, thanks to the perfect suspension tuning of the Arlington, but the third rank in the championship isn´t decided at all, with @ErenWithPizza , @AndiD and even @Riley in striking distance.

WINNER @moroza 01:06,44 - 20P
The Arlington really feels at home on this twisty low-speed track and crawls into the exhaust of the Metalwagen, but it´s not enough. Although it is very close this time.
FINAL STANDINGS LATER THIS EVENING (although you can all calculate, I will of course do the service for you but the dogs need to go out now)
