Aye, no worries 
QFC28
Judging Round 1
Uses race turbo headers which is one reason for a bin, as is the naming (although I don’t bin for this normally). And then there’s the all steel panels and chassis, the 2119.3$ of service costs, 20inch staggered wheels definitely feels good in 1999. Presumbly to fit the cost cap as well there’s -4 quality literally everywhere. Atleast the styling makes some sort of sense.
Written with the help of ChatGPT, any resemblence to the dreams of real people is entirely unintended. Also, literally me. God damn 20 entries is a lot.
BINS
@CivettaScintilla
This car didn’t have a name, that was the first issue. The other issue was the 300hp moon rocket in the rear
Long list of issues to hopefully help?
Please don’t do this, this doesnt make power, it just says it makes power, you have about 116hp to play with before boost AND vtec kicks in. Through an open diff. Use a LSD for more than 200 odd hp, you should be spooling the turbo at around 2k, maybe 2.5k rpms.

LVC LCS 2.0
The LVC LCS 2.0 focus is clearly on performance, 180hp on tap with a 6 speed manual and double wishbone suspension all round along with 50/50 weight distribution, it’s no wonder it does sacrifice some comfort for its sporty edge. The suspension tuning being a compromise for comfort and seating that might not be as plush as some other options leaves it middle of the road compared to other cars.

Sauveterre SC5 Turbo
The SC5 Turbo’s sportiness truly sets it apart, making it a powerhouse on the road.
Another of the car’s strengths lies in its impressive aesthetics. The Sauveterre SC5 Turbo boasts great looks that befit its sports car nature. Its design exudes a sense of speed and dynamism, making it a head-turner both on the road and at rest. To top it off the car is one of the most reliable out there, as well as safe.
“Many worries put to rest.” Lily thought.

Yajirushi Kenso
Although it may not excel in sportiness, the Yajirushi Kenso car’s focus on classic looks and design details offers a nostalgic appeal that can captivate enthusiasts who appreciate the timeless elegance of vintage vehicles.
Comfort, unfortunately, is an area where the Kenso falls short.

I wish I could take this seriously. I should’ve binned it. Realism was a priority and this… isn’t that.

ReWave Charlie Roadster
While the sportiness might not be its strong suit, the ReWave Charlie Roadster compensates with its focus on delivering an enjoyable and comfortable driving experience. Classic looks make for an interesting theme but ultimately it is let down by poor sportiness and average comfort.

Barbie
The Barbie car stood out with it’s bright paint job, it was easy to manoeuvre and had great comfort. Past that however was a miserable experience, slow, expensive to maintain and unreliable.

If this QFC had been about budget-friendly track-ready sports cars, the LVC LCS would have been much better-suited for the brief, but here, its high idle speed (>1000 rpm) and overly sporting demeanor (at the expense of comfort) made it seem a bit out of place, and your verdict for my entry here is reminiscent of that for mine in CSR156:
Both of them were built on the (now abandoned) Lotus philosophy of “simplify, then add lightness”; power-dense, high-revving, low-displacement (2.0L or less) normally aspirated engines with high idle speeds, squeezed into small, lightweight bodies, unencumbered by an excess of standard equipment, and tuned for razor-sharp handling - great for track driving and B-road blasts, not so much for the everyday grind.
Man, I just watched the movie (with my daughter) and I just remembered her driving around waving at people lol. So I figured she wasnt worried about being fast and 90 something hp with a smooth shifting auto was right up her alley. Boy was I wrong…damn you Barbie!!
Thanks for the info though, gotta take the good with the bad and move on to the next car.
i dont think i ever clicked the race turbo headers in that car
If you build a naturally aspirated engine and then add turbos to it for some reason the game defaults to turbo race headers. So if you didn’t check that screen before submitting there is your problem.
not a really good feature to add in game
Still, good to keep you on your toes when creating.
The turbo headers caught me off guard more than I like to remember

My guess is that Lilly is taking the finalists for a joyride. Along the way, she decided to take a summer road trip 
Yeah I’m guessing a trip down the mulsanne straight has delayed things a little

Neko KRX-3 Export
The Neko KRX-3 Export presents an interesting proposition with its cute kei car design and average sportiness suggest a vehicle that might provide a somewhat enjoyable and efficient driving experience. Unfortunately, the promising start fades quickly with the Neko KRX-3 Export’s extremely poor driveability and very low comfort ratings.

Ibis Anodus
While the sportiness level is average, and the comfort is unfortunately low, the Ibis Anodus is cheap to service and has some style. The driveability is poor which only adds to the negatives for the Anodus.

Bertrand A3 Monte Carlo Cabriolet
The Bertrand A3 Monte Carlo Cabriolet seems to be a car that struggles to find its identity, falling short in both its attempts at sportiness and economy. With a design that aims for a funky and economical look, it unfortunately misses the mark on both fronts, leaving a rather underwhelming impression.
The handling and performance may leave much to be desired, failing to deliver the engaging ride that one would expect from a sporty model. The car’s shortcomings extend to its comfort level.

Pacorus Riviere
The Pacorus Riviere presents a unique set of characteristics that cater to a specific driving experience. While its incredible driveability ensures a smooth and responsive ride, its very low sportiness might not satisfy those seeking an adrenaline-fueled journey or dynamic handling.
The standout feature of the Pacorus Riviere lies in its fantastic comfort, however, the car’s below-average looks could potentially be attributed to its unconventional bubblegum pink and blue exterior. While the intention might be to stand out, this bold color combination might not resonate with everyone.
“It looks a little awkward but it’s cute in a way, I should add it to the list to compare later.”

Sorry this is taking so long, I keep putting it off. It feels like this is dog water challenge writing and involvement compared to some other stuff. I need to make improvements to my writing ability and also my spreadsheets to make more comparisons between stuff and something more interesting out of the challenges that I might host next time.
Thanks for your patience, I hope to have Finals out by the end of today or tomorrow. - Riley

I’m not surprised with the result, since I submitted a car that I was designing anyway rather than starting one specifically for the challenge, but I thought the fuel economy of the Bertrand was quite good considering the power output and year. Also, oddly enough, adjusting the suspension to make it fun to drive in BeamNG decreased the Automation sportiness stats - not that I did this in the submitted model but it still fell short.
Woo, I’m glad that I have been able to have something that is being praised for it’s service cost after all the previous challenges have had cars that are on the higher end of service costs.

That picture makes the Toyhatsu look 90% less derpy than it is.
I’ll be effectively offline for a week so I’m pre-passing on hosting if it becomes a game of hot potato again
You know what screw it I’m calling this a QFC1 redemption arc for the Performa. No finals there but it kinda just existed and didn’t get ranked, so it’s on the up now!!
