My car:
So many air scoops! Radical!
Nice! 
So it should be no surprises as to which car I’m intending to enter into this competition.
What may strike some as strange is that it will have markedly less power than the original car…
Who are you and what have you done with strop?
…
[size=50]Seriously, are you OK?[/size]
Strop is perfectly fine. He is right here, typing this post, at the computerbox. He has not been abducted by aliens at all, the very notion is ridiculous!
[size=80]Seriously man, when you have ABS, TC and ESC, the car lets you get away with a bit more, but since we can only use power steering, it really does mandate some judicious management of the torque curve… if I want a car that does Nordschleife in under 7 minutes that is! …and that’s not even an appropriate track to be testing these cars on anyway, given Brands Hatch and the AT Test track are in the lineup! Oh god my car’s bleeding horsepower

Here’s my entry, a new luxury coupe turned into a hardocore racer.
I present to you…
The [size=200]**Rennen **Kasai GTV8[/size].
With an advanced 4WD system found in the Kusanagi R, and a crazy 4.5L Twin-Turbo Flatplane V8, this is one car you want to set your sights out for!
That’s a really damned attractive design.
Why am I so tempted to scrap my original race car idea in favour of kubby’s huge 70s sedan 4 Teh lulz? You’ll be horrified to learn how fast I’ve made it (and that wasn’t even with stripped interior).
Well, if we’re gonna do that, here’s an N/A V8 producing 800 HP to a '64 body that will do 1:12.8 around TGTT. That goes down to 1:12.17 with a S-DC Gearbox.
But it seems in these regulations that were obliged to use turbo, which ruins tameness!
(Seriously kubbys body fits 455 fronts 485 rear, its ridiculous. You thought the van was fast?)
I hope all the rules are up to date because I just finished building my monster car…

Okay, I’ve changed my mind no less than 3 times now. Originally I was going to go with a front engined AWD car. Then I figured nah, I’ve done that too much already. But I figured the penalty tameness for turbo MR cars was too high so I’ve always ignored that…
…that is to say I found it too difficult because I’m normally extremely aggressive with my turbo setups. I’m now learning (some will find this shocking), how to actually make this turbo tech somewhat useable by, say, not going vrooooom putt putt putt HOLY SHIT BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST!!! I also, again more shock and horror, didn’t actually cram the biggest engine I could make in the engine bay. It fits in the bay like I’m not actually Strop, wtf 
And then I put it in possibly the most ridiculous and polarising looking car here, Sleipnir. So yes, still Strop of Gryphon Gear here 
I had to change the colour because all the MR entries here are of the same colour, what’s up with that!?

holy hell strop it actually looks like a monster! lol…now off to building mine
Nice contest actually, i was going to do a mid engined car but i struggeld getting to the required 200mph, so this is when i used the body with the enourmous tyres and humongous enginebay. Then i combined it with an almost equally humongous engine,
I like seeing all of the entries come in! I will stop taking entries on January 31st.
I have stopped Taking entries! The first race will be coming soon.
