well my triple is coming nicely. 140hp sub 1000kg for youngsters
Enthusiasts who want an affordable track-ready car wonât have to look much further, if at all, than the WMD CBX4 Cup. This small front-engined, rear-drive coupe is a track-focused version of the recently introduced base model. Although it is available in a wide range of colors, the example shown here is finished in High-Explosive Orange, which makes it more easily visible from a pitwall.
A favorable ratio of drivability to sportiness is a requirement for any affordable track car, and the CBX4 Cup is no exception, yet despite a stripped-out interior (in which the infotainment system has been omitted to save weight), it remains comfortable and economical enough for normal road use, while also retaining an advanced safety system.
The CBX4 uses a glued aluminum monocoque with hydroformed alloy panels to save weight, and as such it can be built in a small factory. With fully adjustable aero (incorporating a front splitter and fixed rear wing) and suspension (double wishbones up front and a multilink rear), drivers can configure the vehicle to suit their needs and those of the track (or road) they will drive on. And for the sake of driver involvement, a six-speed manual transmission (also adjustable) is standard, as is a mechanical limited-slip differential.
Under the hood youâll find a 1.6-liter direct-injected normally-aspirated straight four capable of revving to over 9,000 rpm and delivering 200 horsepower to the back wheels. It might not have much torque, but on the other hand it doesnât have too much power for its size, and returns decent economy despite aggressive cam timing. We could have considered a turbocharged engine, but didnât want to sacrifice drivability and reliability for the sake of power and torque.
Not only can the CBX4 Cup manage a lap time of 1:21.58 at the Airfield track, it can also scoot from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and top out at over 160 mph. And even with high-performance road tires, it can pull over 1g on a standard skidpad.
A post-markup price of $19500 (with a 50% markup) ensures that you wonât have to save up a lot of cash to afford it in the short or long term. If you want pure, simple, old-school thrills, the CXB4 definitely takes some beating.

i thought we must create a car for racer trainee, there goes my plan i guess
So do we HAVE to use aluminium/carbon?
use whatever you like as long its not over 20000 with 50 % markup
No, you have to use glued aluminum if you choose monocoque; if you choose ladder or space frame then anything is fine. CF wonât fit the budget.
Iâm trying something stupid and a little crazy, but⌠I think itâll have some appeal.
nowhere says you have to choose glued aluminium
If youre using a monocoque chassis you have to unless youre making the rest of the car really really cheap so you can use carbon fiber. Any other material for a monocoque chassis requires a medium factory which is not allowed
good thing i changed. i was running AHS Steel untill today
WHY CANT YOU BE VERY VERY VERY SPECIFIC IN YOUR CSR25 POST
You have to clarify because people will always 1) not understand 2) try to find loopholes. Itâs that simple, thatâs why it canât just be set and forgotten that easily.
LET ME FIX
blah blah
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 arenât in a state to begin racing. That means itâs 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 wonât reward driver skill, too hard and the drivers will make too many mistakes and get discouraged.
Comfort shouldnât be lower than 15
, we donât want to break peopleâs backs while theyâre out on track.
You must use advanced safety
, crashes are bound to happen at some point so itâs important that we keep the drivers safe. The actually safety stat is not very important to allow the use of old bodies, so youâll 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 isnât a massive market
no parts requiring a medium factory are allowed.
The car trim should be for 2016.
That literally did not help in anyway, nor did it include any of the things rcracer11m specifically answered in response to doubts from people.
1/10 for putting effort into changing things into headings? 
Yeah my car is a fatso. Iâm not very happy about it. I could probably do a lot better for less. But the body is hilarious, itâs just the wheelbase kind of lies.

market tab. 20000 with 50 percent markup
thatâs⌠quite a bit better actually.
But is it really just AHS steel for ladder? Iâm sure other materials donât require Medium factory or above. But that being said I donât do much with ladder so I probably wouldnât know.
Also, price is independent of region, so region doesnât matter. You can get rid of the Gasmea bit.
Ladder and spaceframe chassis can be made of any material and the body can also be made of any material.
i had 20500 cost and got rid of entertainment and my comfort jumped from 25 to 15
now its 19500
Wait plastic panels need medium factory?? oh manâŚ
