Hey another quick question how does one stop the wheels from coming off the ground? Can this issue be fixed with stiffer suspension, sway bars, roll angle, etc.?

Does it tend to roll when turning? I had that problem on a car a while back, I just switched to less grippy tyres

Hold up a second if the wheels have more grip doesn’t that mean the wheels should stay on the ground more?? idk what roll means so idk if the car I’m driving rolls. Anyway, I switched to wheels with less grip and now the car spins out ceaselessy

You’ll get the unloaded wheel lifting during cornering if the suspension is too stiff. What is happening is there isn’t enough travel on the springs to keep the wheel on the ground

Hyone M2.Concept-GT4 (2007)
The M2 (sort of copied from BMW, ignore) Concept features some futuristic yet old school design so it should stand out from the rest (hopefully). Car never made it into a race as this again is the concept. Too lazy to do livery, hence why it’s a concept.

Is this standard steel, or a fancier type (galvanized at least)? And does this apply to both of your entries?
Also, from the spec sheet, I can infer that you used the !ev! modifier for the Beam portion, but the pictures show that it’s built on the smallest of the '98 Stradale body sets (~2.3m wheelbase) - the same as the one I used for my second PAIN entry, but presumably in a different bodystyle (targa instead of fixed-roof coupe).

It’s the fixed roof inset variant, it’s the same style as the targa one though.
They are both plain steel, for that sort of “rust from inside” thing you get from a lot of fibreglass cars 
Edit
Also I didn’t realise your car was built on the stradale body, you’ve managed to hide the square back of the car

The use of regular steel for the chassis of both your entries makes sense - it’s meant to save costs.
As for disguising the usually angular rear of the Stradale body sets, I adjusted the rear corner morphing zones to make them more rounded, and placed a body molding fixture on the upper edge of the rear end in 3D fixture mode to make it resemble a lip spoiler - the same trick I used for the LVC LS60, except that the LS40 I entered in PAIN has two circular taillight lenses instead of just one.

1 week to go! @mart1n2005 i’ll check your cars soon, quick question though. Do electric cars have any advantage?
electric cars give disadvantage, making your car extremely slow

Alright, my final entry. Basically a Porsche, but i tried to alter some stuff to not make it too much like a Porsche. It’s good 
It has an NA Inline 3, so I hope it will surprise some people on the track.
The car is run by Team Texoline.

That’s why although the !ev! modifier is permitted here, it wouldn’t be advisable to actually use it.

Due to the reduced amount of entries in this challenge, a few options have opened up for me, the runs, and the video.
Should i make 1 minute reviews in the video instead, and use longer tracks? All advice is useful!
(I don’t mind a more relaxing challenge for once, that even 1 person enters means more than enough lmao)

Just have to chop off / replace some aero, cheapen out some $10000 worth of parts, what can possibly go wrong?

Wait a second. Kotatsu? As in the warm table? Looks great though, love it. Expect a possibility of 2 10s on styling and maybe even an 11.
