Thats a good compromise.

Visual mods only - I will add it to the regs.

Ok so your best bet is to download the HQE pack and stipulate to use this only. My computer is ancient and I have all the steam mods each only takes about 15sec to download and install. If you are going to host challenges I highly recommend downloading all the steam mods it makes life so much easier

Hopefully the above will be the final draft of the regulations.

If you have any concerns or suggestions please speak/vent so I can address them.

Next upā€¦Series Scoring System.

45

Is AHS Steel chassis allowed?

Is maximum cost the total cost in overview tab or estimated price in market tab? Iā€™d recommend estimated price as the total cost doesnā€™t include cost of the engine.

Any fuel economy requirement?

46

Yepā€¦thatā€™s fine

I will say ā€œAverage Market Priceā€ā€¦at least for the first season. IRL Rally cars cost upward of $100k so giving a market price of $50k to play with sounds reasonable. Things are getting waaaaay to complicated :smile:

No fuel requirementā€¦not unless people see a need for it.

Welcome to holding a challenge lol. I highly suggest exporting your cars to another folder, as when entries start coming in its much easier if your cars are not mixed with comp cars. (I really wish I could have two Automation games one for challenges and one for my factory cars).

You need to specify a year yet Iā€™m guessing 2016?[quote=ā€œKa1idor, post:43, topic:16466ā€]
slider must remain at 0%.
[/quote]

what exactly do you mean here? is this est sale price + 0% in est tab

50k is good 100k would be a very very expensive car on Automation

One last thing then iā€™l stop busting your chopsā€¦launch control (i feel if we are replicating modern rally cars this should be mandatory)

That happens when you ask to the ā€œaudienceā€ and try to address every suggestion.

Besides, still not as complicates as the AMWEC :sweat:

Alrightā€¦itā€™s done :slight_smile:

Yes, I meant the Price Modifier has to stay at (+0).

Vehicles must be constructed between 2000-2016ā€¦like modern rallies you still get a few old vehicles competing and sixteen years gives plenty of scope I hope.

Launch Control is now Mandatory.

Thanks to everybody who offered adviceā€¦hopefully the rules (of which there are many) will make for a fair and fun competition when the time comes. :slight_smile:

Just brainstorming the scoring systemā€¦will post when Iā€™m done
