Sure, the new round hasn’t been posted yet.
I have offered retunes of cars that had issues or weren’t optimised. If you do think your review was disappointing and want further feedback just let me know.
actually. yes. beside the looks, any other improvement i could do to my car? since i didn’t really get any ‘problem feedback comments’ on the review.
Your car was actually really good. No noticeable faults, it just didn’t engage the brief as strongly as the ones that placed higher, and that came down to what was entered.
okay then i’ll take that as ‘just the wrong market segment’
Yeah, I would like to know besides the suspension issues and low revs due to cheap cast internals if there was anything else I could do to improve my car?
I’ll take some GG consulting on Boss’s lunacy.
Yours will be difficult. I mean most of the things I do to it will make it slower. But I could possibly make something as fast as possible while actually being usable on the road. How does that sound?
EDIT: eh, I was wrong. Turns out I can get the car to be streetable and a lot faster both.

That’s the byproduct of not being good w/ turbos and being as accurate as a monkey with a hammer when it comes to suspension.
i had much the same issue with mine. a V6 hatch that bottomed out lol.
well i guess i got lucky with my turbo tuning.
actually… i know what i’m doing when it’s only a low pressure turbo, high pressure? fuck me…
anyway, next round please?
That’s like the one thing I know how to fix.
post the cars here?
In your review you dismissed the K4 for simply not being sexy enough. However, the mechanicals are so well-sorted that they should be left untouched. Could the K4 be improved just by restyling it? Otherwise I will accept that it was simply aimed at the wrong demographic.
Yes to both actually. I should add that the Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo is a very well regarded car. I was just making fun of all the cars that resembled it because it was the wrong car for this particular job. Well, actually, if everybody had submitted sports sedans and heavier, then maybe it might have done better, but the fact was that people submitted cars that were on one end punchier and on the other more compact, and the sedans generally lost out unless you did what either koolkei did and submit a small economical one, or what oppositelock did and submit one that was optimised for driving faster than the rest.
Only if the users who asked for them are ok with me doing that!
i default that to the roundmaster, mon frere
Oh sorry I misunderstood where your question was directed to!
You’re free to post your own cars here before the next round starts. If not you can always post them on your own thread or else on the open source thread.

so are either of you are going to post the car? or nah?
I’m at work and haven’t even looked at what strop has done in his revisions so you’re going to have to be a little more patient…
CSR Round 18: The Kit Car Dune Buggy
The year is 1967 and the kit car industry is in full swing. With simple tools everyone can build and customise his own little sportscar. That’s always something I wanted to do myself. This year I saw something new, which seemed to be rather fun: It was a dune buggy, big wheels, good offroad capability, while still being fun to drive. I wonder if something like this is on
the market…
Your job is to build a cheap dune buggy.
-
You have to use the mass-produced base engine family. Don’t modify that. The engine trim is considered to be a modified version of the base engine from a mass produced car of another manufacturer.
-
I will determine the sales price of the car and consider engineering time, production units and material cost. The engineering time and production units will cost $25 each. The base engine will be substracted from your engine variant, so only the changes you make will affect the cost.
So choose parts with low engineering time to make your car affordable. -
You don’t have to adjust/send engineering or factory settings.

How will I choose the winner?
The scoring will be based on 4 criteria:
- desirability: mostly based on sportiness, drivability, offroad, convertible. smaller influences have comfort, safety, prestige.
- cost: anything related to cost - affordability, maintenance, reliability, running cost.
- visuals
- (off)road test: I will run the cars in the BRC simulation (single lap time trial with standing start and 20 kg of fuel) on a new, short track with offroad mechanics I already have prototyped some time ago. Your car’s performance will be penalized based on the offroad rating of the track segment compared to the offroad rating and tyre compound of the car. The track will consist of partly asphalt, partly gravel and sand. No heavy rocks, so you don’t need a heavy duty offroader.
You have to score well to at least be considered. But the highest scoring car may not be the overall winner. If your car is just not affordable, I will not consider it. The same happens if the car is just butt-ugly. So the judging is not only based on numbers.
Deadline: Monday, August 1, 6 pm CEST.
Please send the Automation Export of your car in a PM to me.
One car per participant only. No revisions.
Naming scheme: Car Model: CSR19-car name; Car Trim: CSR19-player name
Mods: Everything except weird morphing bodies and additional engine spot mods
Stable release game version.
Have fun! I will be away over this weekend, so get a feeling for the challenge and I will answer any questions from Monday on! I try to take a look in here in between to catch any major issues though.
