That really is absurd for a hot-hatch. Perhaps the C2KR is moving beyond and entering its own, unique area of the market. Not just a track day car, but more a ‘hyper hatch’.
Well, the Tauga X ([humanism]which offers more practicality and better efficienicy (I think) for just 8 seconds more around the Green Hell![/humanism]) could be faster around the Green Hell, I could probably shave those 8 seconds off just by adjusting the suspension, but my ethos with the car is to make it just as good as an everyday road car as it is a track car.
And a more extreme version could be on the cards at some point. I don’t know though. It’s going to need to be a little more special than “a car we made to beat the C2KR around the Green Hell” if you get what I’m saying
Either way, I’ve got my popcorn and I’m watching this thread. Something tells me it’s gonna get good.
I didn’t make it to beat the C2KR. I made it to show how stupid lap time wars are, especially in the car design thread. Craned in a race motor and lookie i’m now 10 seconds ahead on an untuned transverse chassis.
Like jeez if he said it’s the fastest, you’re welcome to beat it, but don’t advertise on the guy’s thread about how you beat his time by a fraction of a second on a 20 km track.
I am so happy I make rwd coupes and sedans. To be honest i was not certain about calling the saratoga “the fastest” at anything because someone will always one up you. Now the saratoga is one of the faster cars you can buy under 40000 but already due to competition i have had to create a never be sold but is bloody fast car.
you might want to put a deadline to that than :)… and yes, I meant 7.54 is not a challenge. My first prototype took me 15 min and it’s 7:35 with thousands left to spare and no fine tuning.
EDIT:
I just saw this… now thats bald even for rolepaying Automation backstory
Saminda releases C2000R Prototype Unofficial Nurburgring lap time and specification , set a World Record
Not really. You got roped into this because your car company was linked to in the OP, that gave me and likely a few others the idea that the challenge was to beat your car and just see how far we could push each other in lower lap times. I think it would be fun to compete against you, but right now your car (C2000R) may not fall under the rules of this specific challenge, so, enter the challenge with the current rules and compete with us.
I know what @Starfish94 is trying to say , saying C2000R is not impressive is like comparing Civic Type R and GTR around this 20km track .
I have seen plenty of pointless challenges like how much horsepower can you make when TS makes 1000hp but another peeps make 1005hp and so on , it’s a never ending same goes to this challenge
@one85db does not mean when someone make a faster car than someone it make the another one shitty or less impressive
But i am impressed with the C2000R laptime , it’s faster than most car with higher output in realistically
edited post : my personal view is that under 8 min for a production normal sport car is impressive
We’re just building cars to go as fast as possible with the ruleset szafirowy has set for us in this challenge. Why some people think we’re competing with the Saminda, idk. That’s not the point of this challenge. The C2k was the inspiration for this challenge, but not the bar to aim for.
on the other hand, this reads just like a regular car forum when the Honda fans and the VW fans and the 'MURICA FUCK YEAH fans all start going hater mode on each other Pass the popcorn!
meanwhile yours 7:34 is challengish 
Pass the popcorn!
