I tried not making a Mini… I made a Mini. I’m probably not competitive with a 13h result, but considering this was the 5th car I ever made, I’m happy with it.

@Der_Bayer I created a car for this challenge but I have problems with sending it to the repo. can somebody test and post my car?
Freccia is not having this and have just released press photographs of their new top of the line model for 1954. The Freccia Raggio d’Oro. A V12 powered GT car.

the repo shouldn’t be involved, this isn’t a BeamNG challenge

Introducing the AZM Sahel 82R, a one off special, built for the 1953 Mille Monti. The chassis was designed by renowned pasta engineer Fettucini Alfredo. Described by many as “having the rigidity of a wet noodle”, this pinnacle of engineering will hopefully finish the race in one piece. Thanks to @Der_Bayer for taking the time to organize this challege.

Engineer Faramundo Vecellio designed and Built this car specially for 1953 Millie Monti.
Now I’m working on the design

I feel like i can give leniency in terms of historical design choices. not too sure about the excess of rivets and I only riveted my windows because the ferrari entry did too. Not too sure about the sliding windows might remove that. Anyways I wondered why the E type body is at 56 (probably to account for engineering time) yet looking at the E type, it might be an oversimplification but it looks like a ferrari monza from 1953 with an actual cabin. Like that doesnt need 8 years to engineer a roof.
On a second note id probably rate the the 1953 ferrari 735 S pretty mid and boring. That’s how the cookie crumbles, real cars just have the benefit of actually existing. Maybe 60 years from now an automation challenge says make a 2020s car and someone compares the 911 to the cybertruck.

I think a possible answer for the E-type body being in 1953 is that it also looks like a D-type.

it can easily stand in for a d-type or a porsche 550, among others

Heir to the Grimbley Metal Works Co. throne, Jack Grimbley, somehow convinced his father that creating an automotive company was a good idea, and used the promise of more profit and notoriety to convince his father to sponsor said company. Grimbley motors is proud to announce their entry to the 1953 Mille Monte, the Grimbley Bumble Bee. It was named after its centrally placed exhaust, which Jack Grimbley said, “…looks like a bee stinger.” As its driver and designer, the Gasmean native is hoping that his first ever competitve outing can place well, and place in a prize winning position.
This is my almost finished car, and I would really love any kind of feedback on the cosmetic design of my design. This is the first car that I’ve really put effort into looking good, and I’m fairly proud of how it turned out. I know she won’t be a winner in the race, but I’m hoping it’s at least competitive in the 1.3L class. I just realized it’s a 1.4L and I’m fixing it now.

Wow uh… Im at mid maybe low mid 10:40s and I felt no cheese but brute force squeezing day after day. wonder what cheese am i missing 
seems like it could help.

Which class are you competing?
Basically achieve the highest cornering g’s without losing too much drivability, the toe rules is there for a reason. Actually 10:40’s is a very good time, I’m on the 30’s now, just gained a few minutes yesterday by changing the body mould, to me anything around gaining more time would be cheesiest decisions lol. The car was a good car 20min ago. Torque curves play a huge deal too.

Depends how you look at it, some body mould slider will not make difference in weight and drag, I think kind of funny to see what make difference and what not in this department. I’ve gained something like 5min from changing gear setup for something that I didn’t think was relevant, changed an 0-100 from 5.9 to 6.4, bang the car is quicker, I just look at it staring trying to understand what is actually is going on. But, I’m not an professional engineer in this department I’m cool about not understand what the heck is going on.

Hello Dear Friends,
here is my first participation to a automation challenge.
I present to you the Budgetté Type 11MM, a french company who want to race !
It have a 1091 cc inline 6 engine producing a impressive 81.7 hp (yes the .7 is important).
It will compete in the sport category.
Ps: I’m bad at english and it’s the first time im building the interior of a car.
Ps2: The car is bad on the track
Ps3: I will lose
Ps4: yep

For me its the Throttle Response stats, you can get as much power you want without losing too much drivability or changing the power curve especially if you have rear/mid engine.
I’m still way too far from your time but getting close to under 11:00. This probably the most fun community challenge I’ve had although my result always pretty mid
