Constructive criticism since you’re new to the game and may not have played with it, I would recommend a different brake light cover colours. maybe darker so it doesn’t blend into the paint colour in the pictures.

Submissions end in two days!!!

leaded fuel or unlead fuel?

Is race seat allow? one seat and no entertainment allow?

Lastly, will it test on beamng?

From what I understand, testing will come from automation track times, with certain stats acting as multipliers for RNG.

Rules state 98 Ron super. I’m not sure if there are both leaded and unleaded versions of that.

The intercom buzzes as the owner of Yinzer is sitting behind his usual duty station, a sturdy desk, not of a grand size or ornate. “Scott Blasey of Warlock Racing is here.” “Tell him I will be right out”. The meetings with Scott were never a cross desk discussion, but campus walks or a private coffee run. Scott says then that today was an ice cream drive. Everyone who worked for Yinzer knew Scott, he would get exercise in the winter by walking the factory floors, usually chatting with someone. Scott was always an enthusiast, which is why he left Yinzer to form Warlock Racing, Well, Scott did not exactly “leave”, he still has a Yinzer ID with some title that was probably presented at the “not going away so far” party he had last year.

The two walk out to the parking lot and Scott motions over to his “Duma”, a production car, sporty, named after the big cat. It is obvious from across the way that the car had been modified, looking particularly awful with an obnoxious wing on the back. They get in, and from the moment the engine fires, the owner knows that there is not a four cylinder boxer motor, what comes in the production car, idling in the space behind them. “Before our ice cream run, lets take this around the test track”. Now the car is rolling across the parking lot towards the track entrance, howling at five thousand RPM while traveling at a pace not much more than 20MPH. The owner looks over and sees it has a 9000 RPM red line, practically double the stock engine, and from decades of listening to money explode, could tell from the patterns it was a V8. “Before you ask, we took one of those two liter marine division motors and turned the displacement down a couple of hundred cubic centimeters. It turns out with the right valve springs, it likes living in the five to nine thousand range.”

As the car circles the track, Scott explained further that this car they were in had been lightened by replacing all of the exterior steel panels with aluminum and other assorted things because of a rule for the race series this car is entered in. “You see there are two classes, over and under 2.5 liters. If you go over 2.5, you are subject to a whole bunch of restrictions. Under 2.5, the only real rule is the car cannot weigh less than the engine displacement in a value of one cubic centimeter to one pound. This car has an engine that displaces 1779 cubic centimeters, and weighs 1783 pounds.” Scott continued “We used that cast iron v8 mini marine block because it could handle the 200 horsepower the engine makes. The tires are custom for this car, no one manufactures a sport tire this wide on such a small rim diameter, so we had to have slicks from dirt track grooved by hand to make them street legal to pass that general rule of no racing parts.”

As they both found out, the car gets a bit loose at over 140 mph but the race series should not be seeing those speeds as a constant.
