Quick-Fire Challenge

I only discovered the Bean bodies recently - I suspect they were added in 4.13.

It was added in the patch that came out in the last couple of weeks

I am feeling not great so I’ll just stick this up

Real racecars don’t need reverse gears >:)

Then again, I’m not sure if there are any 3D interior fixtures right now that accurately represent a gated six-speed manual shifter, complete with a seventh gate for reverse.

I could not get that body under 3k lbs, how did you fare?

Awful, but it got another 10 or so safety with a steel unibody instead of fiberglass over a hand built. 3500+ lbs.

Yeah… that sounds familiar. Looks good though!

Exactly. My initial reaction to it was one of revulsion.

An I4 of that size would need balance shafts to be viable. It also partially explains why it weighs so much - 3500 pounds isn’t exactly light, is it?

I agree on Kalan’s entry but I don’t want to be rude. If we just judge objectively, yes it is not well done.

I have learned a lot in a short time, I will help if you want assistance. Language barrier be damned. There are gurus here that may also help, you can consider me a low ladder rung to climb over to get better.

Offer stands anytime.

I’m not going to speak to any specific entry, but I do want to note that rapid iteration and improvement of design skills is part of the aim of this challenge - both stuff from me and from others. Feel free to share your .car if you want more than 140 characters of constructive criticism.

We all started at zero with this game, I try to keep that in mind as I see things go.

The best solution is the lightness.

Because light is fun to drive.

And your cars always make you yawn with boredom. Interestingly, are you specially trying to create something boring? Just looking at your view you doesn’t feel that it’s sporty car. Besides, I still have not understood, which car of your inexpressive lineup went to competition - the most advanced, with weight of 1135 kg, or a standard one? After all, there’s nothing info on your creation.

On the contrary. I explicitly designed the Shadowcrow line to have simple, clean yet attractive (and definitely not inexpressive) styling.

Not the most extreme trim - but the next fastest one:

That’s the trim I submitted - and it weighs 1195 kg. That makes it the second-heaviest trim of all, but it’s still light in absolute terms.

Here’s the entire Shadowcrow line-up:

Top left: 3.0 (blue, 240bhp 3.0L I6, 1195kg, submitted trim). Top right: 3.0 Lightweight (yellow, 280bhp 3.0L I6, 1135kg). Center: 3.0 Touring (red, same engine as 3.0, but with premium interior and CD player, weight increased to 1210kg). Bottom left: 2.8 (purple, 200bhp 3.0L I6, 1175kg). Bottom right: 2.5 (green, 170bhp 2.5L I6, 1160kg). So there’s something for everyone - it comes in many different flavors, from budget-friendly sportster to comfortable freeway cruiser and hardcore trackday warrior, as well as everything in between.
