1000+bhp builds are increasingly becoming the norm on the competitive drift circuit. Given our limitations here, such a thing would not be recommended unless you want to outcrash John 
HEY! therās a chance i wonāt crash
Thereās also a chance you will crash

but i do believe i have the most powah and wheelspin. so i win in one way, at least
Yesā¦ you probably believe that
Also, hereās an update on how this competition is going to go down, and why you have not heard yet if your cars have been accepted.
- Good news, all your cars have been accepted
- Bad news, we are not having the championship straight away, weāre having a warmup event first.
After the warmup event will be finished you will all get your results ALONG with info on what worked in your car and what hasnāt AND along with the info on what in your car passes inspection and what does not. At that point you will have a some amount of time to fix the issues with the car and entry into the championship will commence. I am also quite busy with the cars IRL (I bought a beater, and still building a bimmer plus studies for work are getting in the way of stuff), so I will judge this while at work (at sea, I bought a good Laptop that will run automation without a problem) and post it as soon as Iāll have the internet conncetion.

*from what has been posted here.
i have no doubt someoneās made a 1000hp thing that has 2 drivability and 125% optimism

Just an update on the things.
I am removing the permacrash option on 2 reasons, 1, iāve got 3 destroyed cars here (unlucky) and it could seriously mess up one of the races, by leaving us with half the field out of running after first qualifying runs.
Also among the reasons is thereās so many formulas involved in this that Iāve managed to make it work for the qualifying, but I doubt Iād be able to run this in the tandem battles, with all the things to keep track of.
Also the +20% to the score modifier has been nerfed to +10%, since we had a few of those too, and itās too easy to run in front of all the field on luck alone with how tightly some of the cars are packed score wise.
These things make me glad I decided on a warmup race, also the fact that some of you are running AWD cars with 5% wheelspin

Oh, please tell me I remembered to switch to RWDā¦ Itād be just like me to make an oops like that.
That said, glad to see perma-crash go, even though it could have been interesting, but bad luck can strike all too easily and trash your chances. Also not too upset to see 20% get dropped to 10% for a skillful save, because, just like the perma-crash, it could kick in and ruin everyone elseās chances.
I thank you for running a warm-up race before starting the whole mess, though, because itās doing two things:
1: Itās allowing you to refine the challenge before it really starts to count, andā¦
2: Itās letting us see the results of this in action without the massive nail-biting worry if the carās doing good or notā¦ yet.
Edit: And on second thought, now that Iāve heard that news, Iām really glad I decided to throw away 200+ kg of safety shit in favor of being lighter and faster.

@Madrias: It could be me, doing the same thingā¦ 
Hopefully we get a heads up from squid before the real contest Drifting with AWD and that amount of grip seems hard.
And i am very happy seeing the perma-crash go, even tho it was a good scare to begin with (and making most of us make cars with at least some amount of driveability) and having just 10% added is still plenty for a good save. Good to see that you are taking you time with this and making it an even smoother competition.
@squidhead: I submitted a car w 2 trims, one standard with the naming rules and one driftworhy, so i might have jumbled them.

Is warmup event going to be this weekend?
Yep, as soon as I sleep off this hangover.

Ok, practice runs and qualifying runs are done, as well as technical inspections. Iāve allowed all the cars to run, even illegal ones. At this moment we got a choice of whether we let the first two qualifiers pass into top8 without battling in top16, or we just arrange top 8 instead, since there arenāt 16 cars in the grid.
Also I am glad Iāve decided to go for a pre-season test, I need to improve the car drastically.
What I AM surprised about is that some of you are running RWD converted AWD cars and you still haul around the transfer case, just switching the car to 0/100 split. Also some of you are way below on the required fuel, or the tire width that you could run. Some people did not even remove the extra seats that were in the car, a ton of you are running exhausts, and just a hintā¦ the highest entry speed I managed to record was under 140kph, so think about that 350+ kph gearing

Will you accept any further entries after this run? How many cars do you have in the grid?
I have my big exam tomorrow, I had something waiting but itās largely unoptimised (but hey could still run). Can send on Tuesday if desired, but Iām not fussed.
At this point 14 teams have entered, and I will accept further entries. Also I am already seeing a few ballancing issues that will have to be addressed in the next championship.
It seems I have a non standard vent on my car. PlebVent02 at 326.6KJ/s from waay back when before there were heaps of mods on Steam (Forum community modpack). Is there a way to fix this (eg request ANOTHER resub, request a substitute) or do I withdraw from the competition?
Edit:
Iām surprised by my car doing so well, since I was sure platform (engine) isnt idealā¦ and worried I donāt know how to further improve (without destorying drivability)
Looking forward for the real deal tho 
if we cannot get into pairs, top few getting into next rouds without battles seems fair
