[size=150]Introduction:[/size]

Hi, V6 Supercars is a parody of the Australian V8 Supercars with the new V6’s. Due to there being different manufacture cars and engines in V8 Supercars, I will do something similar. The First Stage of the compitition will be the engine designing stage. In this engine stage you guys can build your engines and send them to me. After two weeks I will post the stats for each engine and there will be a link to a strawpoll in which the top five chosen engines will be avalible to use for anyone who enters the compitition. The next stage is the car design stage. This is pretty much the same as the engine stage but you are building your car. Remember not to tune your cars as these won’t be the final competitors. Again top five chosen cars will be avalible to use in the compitition. The third stage is the tuning stage where any car and engine combination is avalible for you to use. In this stage you get to tune you cars for the first race. The final stage is setting you race strategy and the racing itself. In this stage I will post important information like weather and lap amount and how long each tyre type last’s on average. Then the racing happens. Before each race i will repeat stage 3 and 4 so you can setup your car for each track accordingly.

I have decided that the lack of engines mean that there will only be three engine surpliers for the compitition

2

engine displacement limit ?

3

none just the requirements that are stated there

4

So there is no cats and mufflers?
Is this an good engine?
930HP
Responsiveness 92
Reliability 72

5

No additional restrictions on the engine seems a bit mad.

6

I’d at least add a cost or hour limit.

7

good idea’s i will add that now

8

When you write Man hours, do you mean Production Units?

9

yes

10

Phew that makes a bit more sense it does! I’ll think about making an entry then…

11

Because you say no changing quality sliders under tuning.

Does that mean we can’t use any when designing our engine and cars?

12

No you can use quality sliders. Once the top 5 engines are chosen however you will have to pick one of them to use and from that point you will not be able to alter it.

13

For shorting your nameing conversion, but to still be easy on you.

Would you accept “V6SC-(Username)-Family” / “V6SC-(Username)-Variant” for the engine submission?

If so, I would like to submit a motor by LHE for this competition.

14

I might give it a shot, see how far I can push an OHV motor and wonder if it’ll have a prayer against anything anyone else here musters.

15

I played around with the process, and have found some potential issues that are likely to require arbitration from the OP so we know where we stand:

[ul]]If using lighter materials, it’s possible to make ridiculously large engines. I don’t know if they’ll all fit in all the available bodies, so a decision should be made as to which bodies are available/:m]
]The cost of the engine factors into the cost of the car, so do we need to decide on an engine before we make the car, and the car comes bundled with that particular engine?/:m][/ul]
I’ll probably have some more questions later :stuck_out_tongue:

16

Well, with the cost limits, you can be pretty generous on the quality sliders of the car and still be under the limit.

And V6s are quite compact, so it isn’t much of an issue in most bodies.

17

I’m aiming to have my v6 be in compliance with the v8 supercar regulations on everything but cylinder count.

18

5.0 litre V6 running a 10:1 compression ratio and limited to 7500 RPM?

19

Yup, and around 650 hp.

20

I’m happy that you’re doing that… hoping for a good spread so my max performance, super expensive, max HP engine can fill that part of the spectrum :stuck_out_tongue:
