Ah hmm okay cheers, might need to tweak a bit more, otherwise will be difficult to get accurate enough figures maybe? I’ll test and update :slight_smile:

EDIT: obviously reduces power a bit, but everything still seems feasible.

I have been having issues with traction in BeamNG exports however, so i’ll keep chasing that down to see if I can figure out how to resolve before officially starting the challenge.

I may of just not noticed but are superchargers (new update) allowed

I’m going to say no, for 2 reasons:

  • in 1900, they were only really just invented and weren’t really used a huge amount until the 1920’s
  • I haven’t tested them at all yet :stuck_out_tongue:

In actuality the roots style blower is dated back all the way to around 1860 where it was used for ventilation in mineshafts. It was just never put on an automobile engine until i believe 1921. So in effect the blower actually predates the automobile in its entirety but i completely understand the reasoning just though id thow out what i think to be a neat little fact
