It's 2007. Meet Stig.
Stig has received the task of a special section in a car show about the new motorsport class, the Chad Touring Cup.
Similar to rival series GT4, the cars here are quite similar to sports cars with some race car parts attached to them. Difference is, CTC is less professional. Much, much less professional.
Since no one knows anything here, Stig has to show which cars are fastest so people like xxXjimsterI-Racing69420Xxx don't end up buying a pink jeep and then expect to beat f1 level machinery.
Stig quickly gets all the cars available delivered by all the manufacturers, but he didn't anticipate that half of them are just cars built in a random guy's garage which looks like it will collapse at any collision.
So which car will Stig recommend?
Welcome to the Chad Touring Cup!
For this challenge, you will be making cars similar to real life GT4.
The rules are very open, so know that you don't have to make something similar. At all. You don't even need to build a race car!
Essentially, just build a "race" car. It doesn't even have to be race-worthy, or even close to it. Remember that anything not in the rules is allowed, so go wild!
Anyways, i don't have much to say, lets get to the rules. Inspirations are placed at the bottom of the post!
Rule 1: The year of all parts of the car must be 2007 or earlier.
Rule 2: The Techpool must be kept at default, aka +5 everywhere.
Rule 3: The car must have at least 2 doors according to Automation.
Rule 4: The maximum price is 30000.
To stop you from screwing around with quality too much, the minimum is -5 and maximum is +5.
Rule 5: Maximum engine size is determined by wheelbase. First, convert your wheelbase from Meter to CC (2.47m = 2.47L/2470cc). If no turbo is used, an extra 1000cc/1L is added to the max. This maxes out at 6L to stop buses from having 500000L engines.
Example: 2.32m = 2.32L + 1L (if no turbo) = 3.32L Max. Note that you don't have to use all of it.
Rule 6: Internal stress of the engine can't be over 10% (Piston, crank, conrod).
Rule 7: The engine must have a catalytic converter.
Rule 8: If a turbo is used, the maximum boost is 8.7 PSI.
Rule 9: The engine must use 100 RON Ultimate Unleaded fuel.
Rule 10: The ignition timing must be set to 0.0. It is screwy and I don't like it.
Rule 11: The maximum noise of the engine is 75.
Rule 12: AWD and 4x4 are banned.
Rule 13: The car must have at least Standard 00s Safety.
Rule 14: The car must have TC and ABS.
Rule 15: The car must have at least 1 full seat, and a "Sport" interior type.
Rule 16: Advanced trim settings are banned, besides Engine Position, Chassis Tunnel Size, Sound Adjustments, and the visibility settings.
Rule 17: A maximum of 3 aero fixtures is allowed. (Aero fixtures are fixtures in the Wing, Spoiler, and Lip sections. Otherwise known as, anything that adds downforce.) Make sure to make all of them visible.
Rule 18: The naming scheme for the model of the car is first the letters CTC, then your username. (CTC - Djadania)
Anything after this is allowed, just make sure to put CTC and your username in the front! I will do it for you otherwise. So for example: CTC - Djadania - Ford Mustang. Put your car name in the trim name, if possible.
If you want some specific exception to a rule, tell me and I'll consider giving it to you.
2 cars per person allowed!
Special Order
Wanted to try something new, so here we go. Here’s how it works.
The first person to enter a car that meets these specifications, gets an automatic 10 on styling.
Moroza was the first to submit the Special Order, so they get the automatic 10!
All the previous rules apply, unless said otherwise.
Anyways, here are the rules.
SRule1: The car must be a hatchback according to automation.
SRule 2: The car must be mid-engined.
SRule 3: The car must have a V10.
SUGGESTIONS
NOTE: I will rate cars that look 90s and 10s equally well as cars that look 2007! If you don't want to design something that looks 2007, you can expect a similar rating if you keep it in these eras.
Liveries for the cars are not required, but i may give a bonus point if the livery looks good.
Stig won't be testing these cars offroad, until he spins into a gravel trap.
Stig will be testing the cars on mainly Medium-Speed, so keep that in mind when tuning.
Stig likes the inspirations at the bottom of the post, go for something unique though.
ENTRIES + DEADLINE + MISC
I will be judging the cars with a mix of performance and styling. Nothing else.
The deadline for this challenge is the 25th of August 2023.
After that, we will see when the first video comes out. I would hope the 27th. Note that my Laptop has been having issues.
You can send your car(s) in any way, though I prefer either the forum or our Discord. Just make sure to send it before the deadline! (Note that if your car has a V16 that you will need to send me a BeamNG exported file with screenshots of the stats!)
You can watch the videos on my channel, Djadania.
I will attempt to give some commentary and advice on the cars, so if you want that stuff, come over there.
You can join our Discord here. Not necessary, but if you would like to discuss stuff quickly, this is the place.
You best be prepared!
