Also willing to vote in @rcracer11m as next round host.
Guess thereās no need to repost the car stats, then! @rcracer11m has one the funnest little econoboxes of them all with that RWD and smooth boosht! And these low running costs! 1588! Mine were about 1800 or so.
A definite choice for the request. Or will there still be a vote?
It seems there are no objections.
Iām going to run a poll to determine the winner of the round, but at this stage weāve nominated rcracer11m to be the next roundmaster.
#So Which One Would You Pick?
WARNING: voting is not secret, this is to prevent anybody doing a dodgy and creating a new account to vote or somehow reviving a completely inactive account to vote.
- strop: Matteo Miglia De Silva
- Leondardo9613: Ikkonagashi Sport 1170S
- rcracer11m: Mott Works Apollo

Also, the Mott Works Apollo is very sneaky, with aluminium panels and direct injection in 2001. Damn, thatās advanced! No wonder itās more efficient, lighter and therefore potentially more fun despite having a smaller engine and 4 seats.
I will edit my post with the detailed stats when I get home so you can make a more meaningful comparison with the running costs etc. (as in many ways stats wise my car is very similar to rcracer11mās, but mine is way less practical but also way faster around the track, I would bet). Leoās car is just a completely different kettle of fish lol.

Here are the stats I sent Enry, canāt open the game right now to get the rest of them.
The Ikkonagashi Sport 1170S is a clever 2 seater, with a tiny 1170cc VVL 3-cylinder engine, making 110 hp, which when combined with the 902 kg weight can make the car very nimble and fun to drive. Important to note that the car was about 500$ under budget all in.
drivability of 73.7 wowowowow thatās more drivable than anything Iāve ever built in Automation (at least in the new scoring system, although it must be noted that drivability scores of 60 and above donāt scale up at all from old scoring to new scoring).
Iām in a bind, and not sure if I should vote anyway. If I was me, I would probably buy the Ikkonagashi Sport because itās so damn clever. If I was who I think Enry represents, as a first car Iād probably spring for the Apollo, because itās so damn practical. If I was still in my āI like the MX5 NB but the NC was a bus and NBs are too old and NDs are too new and expensiveā phase Iād get the De Silva, because itās pure and classic (I would wonder how it stacked up against NormanVauxhallās BMMA Flying Fish).
Question for engineers: DI was new in 2001ā¦ did the whole carbon residue coating the valve issue improve with time or is it still an inherent maintenance issue even now?

Thats partly to due with the fact that i originally designed the car in 2005 then realized i was way off on price so moved it back to 2001 since it had little effect on stats and made it much cheaper in the end.
LOL I thought about doing that but then decided nope, I made my bed, I shall lie in it 
Also figured a slightly newer car meant theoretically less mileage and less likely to cause hidden maintenance costs for the next buyer.
wellā¦ ours is a 1.8 Turbo Direct Injection with Forged bottom end parts inside the AlSi engine block, also in 2001ā¦ although no alumunium panels. our engine is fanceh as fudge.
except i kinda forgot about the markup. proceeds to āfixā and get the price down. forgetting the comfort score in the processā¦ derp 
I can send you the car files:wink:

who ever hosts lets just go to csr25 already
ok post with my car was updated, if any of that matters. This is the closest vote yet. I will close it in 24 hours, so that rcracer11m can get on with hosting later.
I added all the stats to the original post which already had the images.
Are we ready for round 25?

#CSR25 - Legendary Specifications
The legends car has been a staple of spec racing here in the US for nearly 20 years now, however their popularity has started to dwindle due to their age and the body style that appeals mostly to older people who arenāt in a state to begin racing. That means itās time for a replacement.
You need to build a new spec series race car that will appeal to the younger generation, getting more people involved in the world of motorsports. In order to replace the legends car you must make something interesting to drive(sporty), with the right balance of difficulty (drivability/sportiness). Too easy and it wonāt reward driver skill, too hard and the drivers will make too many mistakes and get discouraged. Comfort shouldnāt be lower than 15, we donāt want to break peopleās backs while theyāre out on track. You must use advanced safety, crashes are bound to happen at some point so itās important that we keep the drivers safe. The actually safety stat is not very important to allow the use of old bodies, so youāll need to use other methods to show more of a focus on safety. Noise can be an issue so max loudness is 50, also a catalytic converter is required.
As this is designed as a beginner racing series costs should be fairly low with purchase price below $20,000@50% with running costs such as fuel usage (at high rpm) and tires also being low. Any fuel is acceptable although whether higher octane is worth the increased price is up to you. Also as this isnāt a massive market no parts requiring a medium factory are allowed. The car trim should be for 2016.

okay summerizing
- make a spec race car with good driv/sport balance
- comfort >15
- advanced safety required
- noise <50
- cats please (what about pre 70s car? assuming the year is free)
- max $20000@50%
- running cost and fuel drinkage when being pushed all out is considered
- no parts that needs medium factory (no monocoque then?)

Pretty much, although since its supposed to be a replacement for the legends the trim should be newer so Iāll limit it to 2016 so cats are required. You are allowed to use a body of any age though.
Also monocoque is allowed but only aluminum or carbon fibre, although carbon wont fit in budget.
Are we supposed to use an old body (since this is Legends) or are modern bodies also allowed?
That answers your question
