QFC32 - Rally in Romania!

[Vento]

First QFC
Previous QFC

INTRO
1977

A warm, sunny day in Bucharest! The kind that makes you want to laze about, and play in the grass! Wait hold up, a second… Lazing! Not in my factory! So said the manager of Bucharest Milling Factory 7, the premier milling factory in Bucharest’s north-north west side. Irita has been one of the factory’s leading millers, operating machinery that milled just absolute loads of wheat. All this work has earned her quite a pretty leu, which she intends to spend on something extravagant. That’s right. A sports car! Rally is the most popular motorsport in Romania, and she intends to top the podium! But she can only afford one car so make sure it functions as a regular city car too.

With the recent drop of the open beta, it would be good to know if it will be held in OB or stable version.

[Vento]

Stable branch!!

[LS_Swapped_Rx-7]

are price, service costs and safety priorities at all? because that’s usually the case for cheap cars

[Vento]

Wow you’re right I totally forgot about that haha! updated the priorities

[kalan]

Is specifying a techpool so necessary?

[Vento]

I thought it’d be cool because Romanian cars in the 1970’s wouldn’t have as big of a tech pool as other countries with higher tech car industries but I can change it if people don’t like it!!!

[xsneakyxsimx]

Personally I have no issues with the lower techpool, for what it’s worth.

[Knugcab]

Techpool is fine IMO. I don’t know if 9000 is a little restrictive at +3 tp or if it works in this class though.

[abg7]

The techpool allocation of +3 everywhere makes sense given the setting of this QFC - Eastern Bloc carmakers were not expected to have as much access to advanced technologies as their Western and East Asian counterparts.

[mart1n2005]

Is looking like a rally car important? Or are the more the road version the rally car is based on?

[kalan]

Type of drive - front?

[passengerpigeon]

In the absence of a rule prohibiting it you can assume it is allowed, but would be a bad idea.

[mart1n2005]

I can’t see how, front wheel drive rally cars did very well in the era before awd and turbos. In fact a few of the inspirations are front wheel drive too

[Vento]

The style can be rally car or stock!

Front wheel drive is totally ok A lot of rally cars were

[Vento]

Hey everyone I updated the rules. Changed some of the priorites around and added a ban on manual and automatic locker! I can’t think of any other rules to change!

[MoteurMourmin]

One question, are we allowed to use our own manufacturers even if they aren’t from the Eastern Bloc? Just wondering…

[Vento]

That’s totally ok!!

[MoteurMourmin]

Thanks a ton!
