Note that the calculator has “ms” - milliseconds - in the laptime field, but actually expects hundredths of a second - centiseconds, technically - just like the Testing tab provides. 7:29.52 is 7 minutes, 29 seconds, 520 milliseconds, but should be entered as 52 and not 520.

Introducing the Apex Aileron Summit Edition, racing under the number 8 in the Unlimited category. Powered by a high revving monstrous 5L Twin Turbo V8 engine making over 1800hp and 1700Nm - the VRX50R. This rocket was build around its road Hyper GT version, inspired by the McLaren Speedtail, Koenigsegg Jesko, the 919 EVO and F1 technology. Advancements were made in the aero, engine and suspension setups. After numerous tests and iterations, it succesfuly broke the record set by the IDR, but perhaps there is more time to be gained.

Also, can I hide some parts of the engine (like the airbox) in advanced settings? It doesn’t affect anything not cosmetic, right?
and how do I increase comfort? it stays at 0 no matter what I do lol

Yes, hiding the engine is allowed.

Try a better interior and/or softer suspension. You can check the detailed stats to see what’s lowering your comfort.

47’ CBC Nasim Mk1 Race car:

CBC Nasim (Soft wind in Persian), was a luxury cruiser of late 40s and early 50s for CBC, powered by a heavy V12 and a floaty suspension, the car wasn’t the easiest to drive but was an effortless and comfortable highway beast

While Carrier was chosen for track racing, the Nasim was a favorite of many for hill climbs due to it’s torquey V12, so CBC tweaked both engine and suspension to allow a more stable and sporty setup for racing, they also removed the windshield, covered the passenger side, remove the frog-eye headlights and moved them to center behind the grill and result was the Nasim race car. Only 15 were ever sold, and 6 have survived.

Dalluha Cheese & Minmax Wankery Coach & Motor Works presents…

In the Unlimited class, No.666: the fourth incarnation of the notorious Me(n)talwagen. Less mohawk, more madness.

And in the Historic class, No.888: the 1966 DCMW Nashwar Superiority Twelve R, fitted with a 1979 race engine.

looks like i’ve got the TA1 class win in the bag :stuck_out_tongue:
sort of surprised at the lack of participation there, might have to throw together an Unlimited car this week.

I know a few people are still working on their TA1 entries so I’m not worried about that.

TA2 on the other hand I haven’t seen much.

Here is my second entry, the Apex GT40 Tempest. The design is based around the MK1 GT40, and I tried to keep as much of the original V8 as possible. However, this is not a tribute car, it is in all ways a track weapon. The chassis, panels and wheels are all carbon, the 4.7l engine got a twin turbo upgrade and lighter parts and is tuned to over 1400hp. Also, to be competitive an AWD system, electric steering and advanced aero features were introduced. It absolutely demolished the Pike’s Peak record, with a time of 4:37.556 (after using the race calculator).

That’s not exploiting the infinite-grip bug, is it?

I’d already worked out earlier on the discord that it is, the average speed of such a run is 259kmh, which is basically top speed, ignoring the run up and then time penalty from the calculator. Perhaps unknowingly done seeing as I doubt many people leave the test track running more than half a second.
