This is a race I came up with and was hoping someone else might enjoy. These are the rules:
Engine: 1965, =<4 liters, push rod, regular leaded, Man Hours < 50, Material Cost < 1,000.
Platform: 1965, Steel Monocoque, RWD, 4/5 Speed Transmission, Single Clutch, Medium Compound Road Tires, Quality = 0, MTBF >25,000 miles. (High Comfort and Prestige encouraged)

How to Submit:
Name of Car
Name of Car Company (optional)
Pictures (optional)
Time around Standard Automation Track

I think that should cover it, tell me if you think the rules should be changed :slight_smile: Leaderboard will be updated once 20 cars have been submitted. After that the race will advance to 1966.

I think rules for platform year and quality settings for platform and model are missing. The MTBF limit should be not the engine itself but mounted into the car.

4

Everything should be fixed now, not sure what the quality should be but less than 5 sounds good.

5

Because there currently is no cost for platform and model, why wouldn’t you want to use it? Locking quality to 0 is the best solution for now in my opinion.

Ta Dah!

That’s an interesting challenge.

I’ve already made the engine, a 262hp 4L FP V8, although the push-rod is very limiting and it was a bit of a challenge to make something decent.

Tonight if I have some time I’ll finish the car and I’ll post the results.

Well, there’s my car:

Car name: The Bastard

Engine: 4000cc XP V8 16v “Screaming Pig” (262hp)

Lap time: 156.59s

It has some problems transmitting the power to the rear wheels, it did the 0-100km/h 1.6s with all-wheel drive, and the suspensions could be a little better set-up, but I’m happy with the result.

Well, I hope to see more and faster cars!

Well darn, I was hoping to be competitive :laughing: Good job AGarcia

I managed to get 154.04s on the automation track and 90.82s on the Airfield

If you are looking for old fashion racing you should probably include a transmission restriction, 3 or 4 speed would be accurate and definitely single clutch.

:smiley:

13

At least in Europe the sports cars from the 1965 had 5 speeds gearboxes, no dual clutch although.

I will suggest to ban the lips and wings :wink:

15

idk there were some big wings back then, true this one was from '69 but its the same era.

Before 1968 no wings were on cars. Probably also on F1, i don’t remeber perfectly.

17

I beg to differ; ducktails, while not wings, did exist. There were also front splitters.

Here goes mine. Its a Crazy modified Van/People Mover made for Gangsters who just so happen to want to go racing :laughing: .

It still manages to haul its way around in a pretty swift 154.9 with those massive 355 rear tyres howling :imp:

Here is my 1965 entry. I think I meet all of the requirements. Not the fastest, but still not bad?
