I think given that you can’t gain any advantage from also being host, I don’t see any reason why anyone could object.
Yeah no I don’t mind at all. Go hard and go strong!

Good job Wargames, only one little problem.
You are over the engine cap by 100cc

Honestly thought that said 2600 here is my 2500, I hate my mpg now.
Come on team front engine, I know we can beat these snooty mid engine types!
I know I’ll be giving it a try myself!
As well as team FF…

Nice job Wargames 
Was feeling the itch to build another car, decided to throw something together for this.
Like so many others, I’ve went turbocharged (and Super Unleaded instead of Ultimate, for no particular reason):
…and while I expect there are much better bodies to use, I really like this one:
No records, sadly, but for nearly $2000 under budget, I’m pretty satisfied with my time:
Slight mistype me thinks… Or is Cobaltgirl’s car really 107kg? O.o
I’m still trying to catch Strop, but I can’t find a way to bridge the gap. Yet…
The revision:
Com Star X4R8c 50th Anniversary Edition
1667cc Pushrod 8v Inline-Four
312HP @ 7300
31.9 MPG US
Time 1.19:35
PUSHRODS!!! /diabolic laughter

I understand that only one car per user is in effect, so this is not a real entry, but…
Guess what time this car gets

Great design there you got up the top 5
I thought that was just me? Where are my front-engined, wrong-wheel drive comrades?
(Due to circumstances involving real-life cars, Team FF (formerly known as Team CR-X) may be delayed until further notice.)
Well, if OP would be generous enough to consider what I’ve attempted here for team FF… let’s just say the micro car affords room for some ridiculous wide front wheels. Not so much the engine though, this thing has barely the capacity of two Imperial pints!’
But it’s also ridiculously light. And small, which means materials for the body are cheap, which means more money to be spent on fancy parts.
As a result, it’s fast!
Revision to the Triton, shaving almost of 1.4s from the previous time, most of which was achieved by tuning the engine and gearbox;

Strop i really like ur fwd design and im pretty sure it can do it in under 1.20.00 but if i let you post a second car as much as I like it i would have to let everyone post a second car and it would just get crazy with revisions of 2 models per person and all that. Thats the only reson I cant allow it in.
Sorry about the last one Corbanx, I derped on reliability.
FIXXED: viewtopic.php?f=39&t=6243&start=60#p70880
re-uploaded the images, if it shows the old image, please refresh it, reliability is up over 70 (I forgot to expand the cooling vents! 
)
That’s okay by me, it’s just a proof of concept really.
p.s. note: for those who are interested, that FF’s official time is 1:15.88. I doubt it is the fastest FF design possible.
