It’s the transmissions, the transverse engine transmissions, like the longitudinal layout, scales, but is tacked onto the end of the block. We’re hoping that will be addressed by introducing transaxle to the transmission lineup. Also, double wishbones take up a lot of room!
[size=150]Mars Engineering enters the Competition with the ME Diecimila .

I think you might have given turbocharged engines too much of an advantage 
. But only the results will tell the true story!
HYPERSPEED Auto Garage will enter this series with a lil hatchback.
It’s not fast, not even powerful, therefore the driver don’t have to brake before a turn…oh, and it’s really not a beauty. 
I managed to make a sub 750kg monster… 
The track list I’m concocting should favor a well sorted car over a balls out dyno queen, but who knows, anything can happen in racing.
The Zoope shell was modified to meet FWD endurance race standards
I went for a very generic race body shell-type look
EDIT: any tips on getting the average reliability up? I have more then sufficient cooling and no knock/not running rich on the engine.
Nathan: yeah I had some difficulty with that. There are a few things:
[ul]]Chassis quality will affect reliability but is not very coat effective./:m]
]likewise body quality, especially if you slashed quality for lightness (like polymer panels). Reliability takes a huge hit/:m]
]fixture quality gives a significant bonus for initially low cost. I’d start there/:m]
]different types of transmissions, number of gears, and quality will affect reliability/:m]
]much smaller effects given to quality of brakes, interior, and I think entertainment, but not safety, aero, or suspension/:m][/ul]
I am gunna try upping the fixtures, I only have a few hundred left in my budget and am 2.3 points short on the reliability scale.
EDIT: AHA! cheaping out on safety and adding some fixture quality bumped me up to a 65.0 and shaved a few un-needed kg’s off of the cars weight!
Here is my entry, all I can say is the safety is so low I wouldnt want to drive it, oh and a few other things 
If anyone has questions about it I may answer them 
EDIT: Changed photo.
2nd Edit: The engineers decided to leave for the weekend early and let a monkey with only a hammer and a torch set the suspension settings, wonder how this will go.
So how many entries do you currently have nialloftara? I am getting anxious to know how the cars stack up and perform 
Just a quick heads up reminder that this challenge closes at the end of this week. deadline is Saturday the 28th at 11:59.59 EST.
OP updated with a list of those who have sent in cars, I’m not doing a tech check until after the deadline just due to my own time restraints.
Hello guys,
BSgear has got some new design, right from the center of france from a person that drink apple juice when he places the decals. Gentelmans, here it is, the BSgear CometGear R8!
With it’s brand new V8 design and light body it certainly won’t finish behind the last person that finishes. Good luck guys!
Ok, so it is time to present Immortals:
2015 Immortal 2.4
2015 Immortal Turbo
It’s Immortal, because using 1969 body. It is old but still can not die
Oh cock, i can’t complete the 600hp/ton Proxima RE-XCT in time. Bummer.
You still have 24 hours 
I forgot to enter my car before work! Ack.
Lucky the time zones are good to me. Should just make it.
Edit: Got it!
It’s sporting a 1.6L I4 Turbo engine. Rather chuffed with it’s performance.
No one mention tyre wear.
Okay it’s the morning of the final day, I’m east coast usa (eastern standard time) so that leaves just about 16 hours left.
