To the second season of the International Racing Championship.
This is a track racing competition, that will be held over 7 races in 7 days. The winner gets the awesome title of “Inrac October Champion 2014”
After a really exciting competition last month, we are now back for more.
This seasons rules and guidelines have changed quite a bit from the last time and are more open now.
How to compete enter this competition:
Build the best racecar you can, but be sure to stay within the limits
Send the car in via pm.
Wait for the races
Please send the files like this:
Your name and company name
Name of your car and engine used
file name: october-your name
NEW Entry deadline is the 14th of October, at 11:59:59.99 (UTC + 1:00). The races will be held from the 15th to the 22nd.
The rules
All chassis structures, car bodies, materials and technologies are available and legal in this competition
All tech years must be 2014
The total cost must not exceed 75000 $
Engine rules
Maximum displacement for n/a engines is 7500cc
Maximum displacement for turbocharged engines is 4412cc
Power limit at 1000hp
Car rules
Headlights, foglights and rear lights are required
This seasons tracks will be 15-20km long and inspired by tracks like circuit de la Sarthe. So accelleration and top speed is just as important as cornering abilities and decelleration.
If you are able to improve the suspension or gearing in your car, you are allowed to send me a message with these changes and i will apply them to your car for the next race.
Well then, let the engineering begin.

The rules are inspired by real-world rules. I already finished the rules regarding the engine. It´s a 20-point list.
If the rules are too loose, i will make them harder for the next season, be sure ^^
There will be only one racing class for now, but if the interest is there, i´ll be happy to create new series with your help and suggestions.
Well, maybe it’s changed now. When the open beta was running, I had a hell of a time fitting anything into the mid-engine bodies. Or, maybe I was fitting them transverse? Pretty sure it was longitudinal though.
AFAIK there were a couple of issues with the mid long engine placement and drivetrain (particularly in AWD) which weren’t cleared up until the end of open beta. That shouldn’t be the case anymore though!
So, I have gotten my computer working properly and I am going to be preparing an engine for Camoria…
But I have some questions, namely the rules seem a little…Abstract, specifically, is 300kw the limit? If so, doesn’t it seem a bit strange to even offer users to build engines if they’re limited to the same amount?
I don’t think so at all. Two engines might make the same maximum power, but one might have a far more usable powerband and/or weigh less, resulting in a faster car overall. I like that it forces participants to focus on making good, solid all-around engines instead of peaky, useless dyno queens, which frankly I find a bit boring. Not to mention, most top level race series have engine restrictors, so it’s more realistic this way. All round I’d say the rules are very well written, can’t wait to get back to my PC to take a crack at it.

I agree with every bit of my being…
So far to me the best option is a mild mannered 32v V8… something i tend not to build
I actually wasn’t implying monster engines, I was just curious why make the power rules so stringent. If it’s about keeping the engines tame, why have a minimum power as well?
There were just some strange regulations, in my opinion. But regardless I have built an engine that fits all the rules and regulations, now all that’s left is for Camoria to build a car around it.

I´ll think about the power regulation.
and as i said, the rules are kinda rough and not totally refined.
If you have ideas for the next season, feel free to pm me. Any input is welcome.
ACCRD is eager to take part on this competition!
