King of the Hill (Round 6)

Impressive, should that be legit I’m definitely not king of this Hill!

(If I may ask, since I already submitted, which body did you use?)

my earlier questions may answer that and yes it is legit

I’ve always had trouble with that body… I just find it really heavy and expensive to build with and it has a higher cd.

Perhaps I’ve over budgeted for each car and could have saved several laps going for something more frugal. I didn’t do any number crunching.

Really, I found it fairly easy for this

Ah bummer…I would gladly undercool here :slight_smile:

Not sure if I should drop one car in favour of some extra laps :grin:

What is the goal here exactly? Are we shooting for highest finishing chance or most laps or a combo of laps and finishing chance?

Well…

Good thing you posted that, I’d completely missed it. Should be a quick fix, I should be able to resubmit within the next couple of days, sorry for the trouble Der_Bayer.

I was up to 418 laps, seriously undercooled though.

Looks like I didn’t look hard enough at some of the bodies. Or I simply didn’t look hard enough. I also forgot about the cooling rule LOL.

Maybe I should not actually do challenges until I can put in some proper time and thought into them :joy:

My car is shit.

Someone please tell me, why am I so terrible at this game :cry:

You are using the non-longtail version right. I.e. not the version with a base cd of 0.406? Coz that’s banned for this round for… obvious reasons.

The short-tailed version (which I am planning to use) is not prohibited from use in this round as far as I am aware. Or is it? If it is, I’ll just use another body.

The long tail version is about a second faster round the track then my car is currently so yes I am using the short tail that is legal

As i don’t have any more time on my hands i’ll send it in as is.

I give you the Scarab Cirrus LeMans:

OHHHHHHH I know what I forgot to do.

Instead of trying to reduce the cooling, I should have increased the stroke. Like, a lot. The change on reliability wouldn’t have been too bad if I sunk some Tech into the internals.

Also wondering how much engine layout matters in this instance. I didn’t play with that either. And i just went with a v8 assuming it would be easiest to use, but what if a v6 fit better???

So many things I didn’t bother looking at, I’m getting sloppy.

The question is, with how many cars :wink:

Well, I’m not going to win but can’t ignore a chance to have some fun with some 1970’s Le Mans. Hopefully I’ll learn something from this one though.

Niiice and fr too! Hilarious. I’m impressed you got the weight down so low but as usual there’s no replacement for displacement!

I was flicking through the bodies for suitable candidates and that one completely bypassed my attention. Then again I didn’t go that far back so.
