It’s because the body of other wheelbases has a bug
the number plate on LMH has to be red, blue is for LMP2
I was able to disguise (or work around) those when making my TMCC26 entry, and even created a newer spin-off of it as a separate model, with a carbon-fiber body/chassis and a six-speed gearbox mated to a more powerful engine to set it apart, among other things - you can see them here.
But a width of nearly two meters is too wide, and it weighs almost 200 kilograms, which does not fit the CNR positioning

2020 KINGS HUNTSMAN 097 GT3
In a momentous collaboration, King’s Automotive and Vengen Aeromotive combined their expertise to create the King’s Huntsman 097, a formidable GT3 car designed to dominate the track at the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans. With a naturally aspirated 4.7L V8 engine at its heart, the Huntsman 097 promised to deliver an unparalleled blend of power, precision, and aerodynamic.
boring stuff
Vengen Aeromotive, renowned for their aerodynamic innovations, took charge of sculpting the Huntsman 097’s body to maximize its potential on the Le Mans circuit. Every line and curve of the GT3 car was carefully crafted to reduce drag and enhance downforce, allowing for enhanced stability and superior cornering capabilities. Vengen Aeromotive’s advanced wind tunnel testing and computational fluid dynamics simulations played a pivotal role in refining the car’s aerodynamic profile, enabling it to slice through the air with utmost efficiency. King’s Automotive’s commitment to precision engineering was evident in every aspect of the Huntsman 097. From the chassis to the suspension, meticulous attention to detail ensured optimal handling and control. The integration of cutting-edge technologies and lightweight materials contributed to the car’s nimble responsiveness, allowing drivers to extract the maximum potential from the Huntsman 097 during high-speed maneuvers and challenging corners. The result was a harmonious fusion of power and agility, offering drivers an unparalleled driving experience. The collaboration between King’s Automotive and Vengen Aeromotive, epitomized by the King’s Huntsman 097, left an indelible mark on the racing world. Their dedication to pushing boundaries and redefining performance in the GT3 category captured the imagination of motorsport enthusiasts worldwide. The Huntsman 097 became an emblem of innovation, inspiring future generations of automotive engineering and igniting a renewed passion for the pursuit of excellence in racing.
This shell still has a lot of bugs
The weight cannot be less than 970 kg, otherwise it will stall
The body is too low, it will deform
The larger of the NA1/NA2 NSX-esque body sets (with a 2.4m wheelbase) is indeed at least 2m wide (before adjusting rear wheel arch morphs), compared with 1.7m wide for the smaller of the two (2.4m wheelbase). In fact, in real life, the ACO won’t allow anything more than 2m wide, making the larger NSX body set even more difficult to justify.
The 24 hour grace period is now over and I have received the pending items from:
@Le_cacatoes
@ldub0775
@KSIolajidebt
@RacingDukes did not make any resubmission, so the file they initially sent in will be the one I use.
@04mmar did not post an updated presentation for their LMH, so that car will not receive any points for presentation on the judging poll (-10 points).
Anyways, that’s not the main point of this post.
Out of a total of 30 entries, only a whopping FIVE were without any issues. @the-chowi, @Portalkat42, @TanksAreTryhards, and @Tyhikastija can skip the next few posts until I release the poll.
Every other car broke at least one rule, which is technically a binnable offense. But it wouldn’t be much of a challenge if we ran with just 5 entries, would it?
So I decided to limit bins to just the cars that broke the dimensions regulations. Which left… 15 cars. Out of 30.
“But isn’t that unfair to the 5 entries that did everything right?”
Well, here’s what I propose. All cars which broke a rule but aren’t binned under the dimensions regs have a 10% penalty (-5 points) as well as -1 point for every rule they broke. That means only the 5 “perfect” entries will have the potential to get the full 50 points, while the rest have to suffer penalties of up to -11 points off their final score.
So once again, what do you think? In another 24 hours I will close this poll and release the bins accordingly. See you then.
- Allow “minor” offenders to compete with strict penalties applied.

by 0.66 mm, in a very inconsequential spot…
seems very minor compared to some of the minor offenders’ faults…
i’d argue that it should at least be considered a minor offender.
Yeah i get your frustration, mine was one millimeter as well.
I would like to suggest another penalty for breaking the dimension rule.
-1 point per millimeter over the limit (rounded up)
People who are over by a smidge can appeal the bin decision since the car might still be competitive. People who are way over should not bother appealing since the car would not be competitive to relieve the workload of checking the cars. Would there be support for this?
I know the people affected would probably support this, so im interested in what the people who aren’t, thinks?
Probably goes without saying but I support this. Would be a shame for our cars to be out of the running when some oversights that to me seem more glaring are still in competition…
If all the major offenders in the GT category were simply rejected as-is, we’d have only 10 entrants there, of which only five entrants were not subject to any penalties. Also, as things stand, regarding the other categories, LMDh will be completely absent (neither of the submissions in that class will be eligible) and three of the 10 LMH submissions will be ineligible.
