Sell on Monday, Win on Sunday [Finished]

I have a question regarding the race and sports version of the car. The description says it must have the same aspiration. Does this just mean both need to have either N/A or Turbo OR whether any Turbo need to be exactly identical in terms of set-up/internal components and sizes in the sports AND race version?

My interpretation of this is that it must merely both have a turbo, or both not have a turbo, but the size and settings of the turbo can vary between the variants. That’s the only way this competition would make sense.

I agree, just wanted to make sure before I send in my entry.

My entry, with turbos that varied between the variants, was indeed accepted.

Yes, the turbo size can vary. It would have been a pain in the back both for me, when it came to scrutinieering, and for everyone while the car was being made to have that as a limitation. And, of course, the fia rules for homologation allow bigger turbos to be fitted, so there was no reason for me to ban that.

EDIT: Just over two days remaning! If you want to take part, this is your last chance.

So when will we see first results!
I am in vacation the next week on, so i need results like… now!

I’m afraid I won’t deliver on that, this weekend will be pretty busy for me, so the first results/charts will come around tuesday and the eco version review will, if my brain works properly, come by wednesday. The sporty versions will be done the week after and the racing will only start after that. However, I think I will be able to send Der Bayer the cars for the pre-season test on the meantime, so we will see how it goes.

I’m going to be on vacation for two weeks from Friday so I will only be able view the results and won’t be able to ammend my car :neutral_face: . Still can’t wait to see how mine performs though :slight_smile:

I’m not home and won’t be for a few hours. So if you want to join in late, you still have a chance.

EDIT: And the entries are closed. First bits of random data should appear soon.

There we have it. After 27 valid entries, I have all the data compiled, but I won’t reveal the results just now, as they need a bit of work to look decent.

So, here is some trivia.

19 people have decided to use the same engine family across all three variants, only 8 have gone for two different families.
All of those 8 cars (IIRC) have V6 engines for the sport and racing trims.

The slowest car from 0-100 (0-62 mph) does it in 26.4s, whereas the quickest only needs 6.4s.
The highest top speed is 261.8 kph, and the slowest is just 136.3.

The most economical car only needs 4,96 l/100km and the biggest gas-guzzler requires 12.85l to travel 100 km.

And that’s it for the mean time, tell me which stats you want to see in this manner, except for average cylinders, cubic capacity and power, because I forgot to write those numbers down. Oops.

Heaviest and lightest cars?

(Edit: And yay, scoring complete!)

I’m afraid I forgot those too. Sorry.

Do those stats apply to the eco cars only? Or the sports cars too?

Eco, and Sports. I already asked him in the IRC :slight_smile:

Hmm, interesting, my sports car is not quite the quickest off the mark, nor in top speed (which does not surprise me, I put some downforce on that thing!) But it’s also far from the least economical!

Leonardo9613: Most and least reliable?

(My sports car does decently in acceleration and economy, not so much in top speed. And my econobox is surprisingly close to the best economy in the field despite my -15 aero quality!)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh… I forgot to send my entry.

-_-

I will eagerly watch from behind the security barrier.

Erm, you are in, Absurdist.

And Packbat, most reliable sports car got 75, least reliable, 59. The average was 67.85. For the eco cars the numbers are 74.1, 54.9 with 68.84 average.

The average economies are 6.05 for the eco cars and 8.33 for the sport ones.

Mmm - less reliable than average. Not optimistic about my chances. :wink:

Ohhh noooo, I think my sports car is the most unreliable :frowning: . Still, can’t wait to see the first results!
