I’m not saying what’s my Drivability or Utility is with my car. I won’t tell you that my car may or may not be a James May around Test Track 
My teaser is that the car is significantly quicker off the line as a FWD than RWD… Or even AWD.
My teaser is that my car has four wheels as an option.
And suddendly Dilemma happend! Got another 5-6 entries, but i only have 4 Slots left… now lets see whose came first.
Dilemma done!
All data is in and now being calculated!
Some Stats:
Highest Price - 8460,84 $
Average Price - 6832,73 $
Lowest Price - 5874,70 $
Highest Economy - 29,41 l/100km
Average Economy - 9,52 l/100km
Lowest Economy - 5,62 l/100km
First Race Result… Tomorrow. Maybe… if Gorbatchow agrees.
Let me guess, Leo’s group B monstrosity is the gas guzzler 
I’m really looking forward to seeing how fast it is on track!
You are wrong there, Strop. I had a very powerful, 550 hp beast, but that would be awful on the consumer sim. So in the end I went for a sensible 4.2 32V engine, with only 200 and something horsepower.
The gas-guzzling prize, I’m pretty sure, goes to trackpaduser’s 600+hp car
my low hp will leave you all in the dust, If I can get Gorbatchow to like the car.
Interesting. (sadly, I don’t use L/100km as a standard, so I don’t know exactly where I fall on that chart, but at least this time I don’t have the most expensive.)
As promised, now that everyone’s locked in, I’ll show the Tradewind inline 4 and the unique design ideas behind it. [size=50]Or, perhaps, the lack of uniqueness in general…[/size]
To be fair, I had debated on whether saying “Snail” would have been a giveaway.
A mighty 122 horsepower was carefully convinced out of the engine while attempting to maintain fuel efficiency. I tend to build to two dramatic extremes: either super-economic or super-overpowered. Not having my MP-EFI or DFI, I switched to cheap, reliable, and kinda economical.

You switched the highest and lowest economy around.

The aero, AWD and gigantic 6.8L V8 don’t really help.
At least it does sub 2:15 on the automation test track, so it won’t be last overall 
Thanks for ruining the balance of the challenge Well, can’t say that wasn’t a fair move though.
TrackPadUser… That thing… is… ab-so-lute-ly BRILLIANT! XD
Very subtle and discrete.
It is my attempt at breaking the challenge
Although the more I think about it, the more I think I will get wrecked on the overall score by the cars that are somewhat fast but also much much better on the consumer rating.
I have a few stats that aren’t too horrible, like driveability and utility, but the rest is very bad.
Also, guess how comfortable my car is.

With those tyres. It does look like it can cruise nicely off-track.
The way off-road is calculated, the tire profile is what is important, so to maximize it you usually need to use narrower tires.
It is quite rubbish IIRC, especially since the tires are semi-slicks. and it has double wishbone on all four corners.
21 June 1986
Its a warm and nice morning on a parking lot near Moscow. The parking lot is on one of the many Automation Test Track, which exist all around the world. The car industry statemen seem to just stand there and wait for the people they contracted to make a good universal car that is capable of racing. They are getting a bit nervous, every Contractors was required to arrive at 9 o’clock, but it already is 10 past 11, so there is quite a delay. One of them mentioned that the contractors may never received the task list, maybe the KGB is still sniffing through the mail. Just as they wanted to leave they hear a loud roaring engine and by loud I mean… REALLY LOUD.
Right around the corner the ZSD Vroom! appears and one of the statemen screams “HOW IS THAT ROAD LEGAL???”, another one was shocked by the design and sound, that he almost fainted. The ZSD parked on his assigned checking spot, where the state mechanics will check the complete car for stinking capitalistic technology.
Shortly after the ZSD all the other contestants arrived one by one - but one car was stopped with the words “Damn… is that a Znopresk ASAZ?” - they all were astonished by the fact they still got one of those old and rare Znopresk-ASAZ Z220. “I thought all of them rusted away” another Statemen said, while he waved the Z220 to Parking lot #12.
Only a few cars are missing, and nature brought the first test to them, as it started to rain. And it was raining alot, the once dry dirt road to the Test site, became a muddy rallye track, all the parked cars got wet, and some of them had water dripping inside the cabin. Not the best conditions to show the good sides of the car.
All of the sudden you could hear someone yelling, it was slavic, and it was very angry. “KURWA MAC!!”, the driver of the PolMot was yelling. He got stuck in the new rallye track, but thankfully the Z220 driver had a towline in his huge boot and helped the poor PolMot driver out of the dirt.
Then the last car arrived. You could not really see the shape, but it must have a huge spotlight, as its blinding everones eyes, but it struggled a lot on the rallye section, but managed to get out of it. When the driver parked, everyone could see the horrible fact… it was not soviet made or had stolen parts. It had more head lights the industry could deliver to a single workshop, more chrome than available in the whole USSR and a total of TWO WINGS. The statemen thought to ban the Austin Allegro Group B Chrome Edition, but they let it pass, as it seemed nice apart from the tiny problems.
All the drivers were talking to each other and exchanged their experience with the cars so far, but they were interrupted by a shouting statesmen, who declared that the first race will happen in a few minutes.
Everyone got in their car, and drove to the starting line and gave their best.
And here are the results:
OT: Why am i even writing such a huge text?! If you like it i can think about something for the next races, if not: I make it a bit shorter, like 3 lines of text.
I can’t speak for everyone, but I LOVE competitions with story lines. BSLL has been my absolute favorite competition to date because of this. You might want to limit the user RP, however, as BSLL got quite…ummm…colorful by the end.
I also love “story time” 
Gives a nice mental image of what’s going on. Also how did I get 7th??? Must be doing something right
Traditional LHE slowness shown on the track.
