So yeah, this is just a little challenge, nothing much.

Using only Inline engines, your job is to create the fastest car possible. Simple enough, right? You’re going to have to download this map >>> viewtopic.php?f=36&t=4034 <<< and whoever can get to the highest speed possible will win.

[size=150]–RESTRICTIONS–[/size]
Only Inline engines.
Maximum displacement of 4000cc.
Can only be built in the year 2014.
Maximum engine cost of $3000
Maximum man hours/Prod units (I’m assuming they’re the same thing, just renamed?) is 50, feel free to use quality sliders.
If I’ve missed something here that you’d like me to add, just reply to this thread saying what it is.

Just send applications to me via PM.
[size=150]–APPLICATION FORMAT–[/size]
Team Name:
Team Member’s Names:

Obviously you’re going to have to send me the files for your car and engine, so please use this naming format:
Name of team/Engine or Car name
For example, my engine could be called:
Solstice Performance-244 TDi I6
Or my car could be called:
Solstice Performance-Python

Please enter your team and car in before the deadline (Which I’m extending to the 3rd of September).
(By the way, it’s currently 20 past 5 in the morning, I’ve probably missed a lot of vital information off this thread.)
[size=200]PLEASE NOTE: I AM RUNNING BUILD 1415 (PUBLIC RELEASE), IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS THE LATEST VERSION SO PLEASE UPDATE TO THIS VERSION.

I’m probably gonna go bed now, shall post more information in the morning if required.

Are turbos banned or not? Just asking, jhd wants me to work with him for this.

4

What kind of race?
Quality sliders for platform/model?
Cant wait to start building! Cheers. :smiley:

  1. Turbos are fully allowed, if you know how to use them, feel free to do so :smiley:
  2. It’s not really a race, it’s just who can make the fastest car statwise.

EDIT: I could potentially turn it into a race, that seems far more interesting, just need a map.

6

so is this just inline 6 or inline 4 as well?

7

Will there be turns or will this be a balls to the wall straight line race like a 1/4 mile, standing kilometer or standing mile ?

8

By any inline engine I meant I4 or I6, just realised I made the name only I6s, ooooops.

And it depends what you want, it can be speed stat wise or the highest speed you can get to on a certain track, so you tell me what it should be.

9

The MONO-Camoria Automotive Union will be enlisting. Out car well be presented on Friday.

10

Ok :smiley:
Guys please tell me what you want it to be based on, stats or the highest speed or a certain track

11

It would be really unique to have a I6 drag championship!

12

stats

13

Any fuel restrictions?

14

Nooe, restrictions are as they are in the original post, tell me if you want something added. Is there currently a drag track for Automation? I like that idea.

15

07cobaltgirl’s Swanson proving ground has both a 1/2 and a 1/4 mile drag track.

This is what happens when you make the engine first and then try to fit it into a car.
Now you don’t even need to open the hood to change the filter and put more oil in.

Are you guys working on it or did you all dump this challenge to work on the CTC?

I think the Bonneville would be more suited to see the true potential top speed of any car.
Plus who wouldn’t want to drive the 7 mile salt-flat?

Sure, I like that idea. Okay, results are going to be judged by who can attain the highest top speed on this map.
