Race of the Century - A Le Mans Challenge [RESULTS RELEASED]

Community Challenges & Competitions
146

What? The top LMH got beaten by two GTE cars? And the overall winner was a rear-engined beast based on the mid-sized '88 Indicator body set (2.75m wheelbase)??? This reminds me of the real life Le Mans '95 where a McLaren F1 GTR won overall as well as clinching top honors in GT1, ahead of the more fancied prototypes! Anyway, congratulations to all the class and overall podium finishers (and especially the class winners) - it was incredibly close at the top, with the top two being separated by a little over one point.

And I can’t wait to see the flavor text that accompanies the podium finishers’ final results - it’s bound to be as entertaining as the challenge itself, that’s for sure!

It was built on the 2.85 m version of that body and the wheelbase stretched up to 2.9 iirc. Full sized car level of interior space and decent frunk luggage space while maintaining a midsize footprint.

Something a little more creative, perhaps.

I have planned some similar challenges for the future but it won’t be happening anytime soon. In the meantime, feel free to use the ruleset to build your own cars to the same specs :slight_smile:

yeah.
only thing is that there aren’t any engine regulations? (at least from what i’ve seen).
i know this is a design competition but it would be nice to have some basic engine regs to follow :upside_down_face:

If a sequel to this were to be made, it would most likely be set in the 1990s or 2000s - we already have a similar (but more comprehensive) challenge set in 1960.
