Hey all, just got the game last night. I am fascinated by the M12/M13 BMW F1 engine. 1300hp/ 1500 cc. but with about 5.5 bar boost. I cant seem to make a high revving engine in this game either, so are either possible? Recreating the M12/M13 and/or a high revving engine 10000+ rpm?
Everyone loves the sound of the 19000+ rpm F1 engines. Will those ever be possible?
This game is mainly tailored towards production cars, and building the best car company possible. Although F1 cars would be cool to see, they don’t really fit in with the main point of the game - a car company TYCOON game. The devs have stated however, that running motorsport teams remain a very slight possibility, so not all hope is gone. 
Also, it’s definitely possible to create engines capable of reaching 10K+ RPM, just pay attention to the info that comes up when you’re selecting bottom end parts, and make sure it ways “Max. RPM High” or something along those lines.

Righto!! I was able to get a little 600cc up to 12k no problemo… very little power drop. It was fairly linear power band at 10+
Thanks mate!!
Yep, we’re more focused on road cars, or more road based race cars (Rally cars, touring cars etc.) hence why we chose the 12krpm rev limit. That won’t be changing in future as it’s fairly solidly built in to everything now.
You can make some pretty mean engines that do about 10 -11k though
Will there be an increase in max boost?
If you name us more than ten 4-stroke petrol production road cars that use more than 3 Bar boost, then we may consider it.
Y’all do realize that the production automobile industry advances in technology because of developments made in motorsport, right? So to be accurate and simulate real life, motorsport application in this game should be more important…
That’s all well and good, but this game isn’t primarily about motorsport. We already know there will be a possibility of maybe managing a touring car team, or something along those lines, and in my opinion, that’s all the motorsport this game needs.
It’s about becoming an automotive empire making millions of pounds/dollars and being a mainstream company, and you can’t do that if you only make cars for motorsport.
You missed the point man, Automotive Companies utilize motorsport as a method of designing and refining systems that are useable for their production vehicles. The modern day Automotive tycoon companies got where they are today because of motorsport.
Yep, unfortunately we can’t cover everything. We’d love to make an expansion about running factory race teams later on, but for now we’ve got a core game to finish, and motorsport would add huge amounts of time to the development process.
righto
