Yes, i’m hosting 2 challenges at once, but this one will not start until pcc ends.
After the disaster that was I Need Speed!: Detective’s Run, which mainly had the same formula as the critically acclaimed INS: Wanted List and INS: Alcantara, White Box is trying to make something different. The Trip takes you on a wild journey across the USA, from SF to NY, beating rivals and dodging the cops and mob at the same time.
After the judging, a cscs-style story will ensue

Seems the rules are missing something clarifying the “goal” of the challenge, makes it a bit confusing… I think you should specify clearly what the car we are making is for - the cover? the protagonist’s car? car for the racers the player will be taking on?
edit: oop nevermind didn’t notice the tier section
One thing I’ll have to tell you is that I probably sent the car with +0 tech pool in the engine block by accident. I’ve sent you the fixed car in Discord DMs, as you probably might know, and I hope my car can be fixed, just this time around. If not, I hope there is no penalty for a +0 tech pool. And sorry for the inconvenience, I hope you forgive me.
