Championship Rules (This is ABC general doc)

Background:

So it’s almost the year 2000, and you are in South America, the economy is not the best in the world but at least you got the sun and good times. You work for an economy car brand and your boss just made some numbers and the company is losing lots of money because of the new elected government. He has ordered to quickly build a delivery car that can be massively sold and very cheaply produced. The car has to be ready for production as soon as possible or the company will go bankrupt, and you will obviously lose your job as a consequence. Everyone is going mad at the office and your boss is going crazy to get some loans from banks to give you some time to save the company, but you want to surprise everyone and come back to him as soon as possible. Will you achieve it?

Aesthetics:

Try to make it look simple, the best example is the Fiat Fiorino, people buying this are going for the most affordable, and won’t be the ones using the car in most cases, so they won’t look at your effort in the design, they just want to save money and get things delivered.

The displacement limit alone won’t be enough - I’d suggest a maximum of four cylinders, for realism’s sake, even though six-cylinder engines of this or a similar size actually existed in real life back then.

Hello, i thought about it, i totally agree, but i found this rule unecessary because of the scoring, and other rules like ET limit PU limit and price limit, using a six cylinder wont benefit participants in the end, if you wish to you can check the calculator with a six cylinder, i believe you wont get any decent scores, so thats why the rule seemed irrelevant.
