Weekend Warrior B-Spec - [DONE]

Weekend Warrior B-Spec

Previous Round

Brief:

A year ago, Laura became independent and since then she has wanted to replace her old car with something more exciting. The old hatchback is reliable and efficient, but it’s also a depressing shitbox. She wants something faster and with soul, a car that she can take to the track and push to the limit.

Having two cars is not an option, so the new vehicle has to be reliable, efficient and fun to drive on the road or on the track.

Rules:

Trim:

  • Model year: Free, Trim year: 2020
  • Car has to be road legal: Wipers, headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, reversing lights, mirrors and a rear plate are required
  • Interiors: Won’t be judged
  • Tyres: Semi-slicks will have a $500 SVC penalty
  • All other racing parts are banned
  • Dowforce: Maximum 30kg combined front and rear on the performance screen (negative downforce will be ignored)
  • Seats: At least 2 full seats, but more would be appreciated
  • ESC is mandatory
  • Legacy and open wheel bodies are banned
  • Advanced settings are allowed but be sensible
  • Max SVC $2500 (Soft rule, but you better have a good reason if you break it)
  • Max price: $25,000

Engine:

  • Family year: Free, Variant year: 2020
  • Fuel: Unleaded 95 or Unleaded 98 (5% SVC penalty)
  • Loudness: 55 maximum
  • Emissions must pass WES11
  • No racing parts
  • No V16 engines

Other:

  • Techpool: everything at +5
  • Even though the trim year is 2020 that doesn’t mean you have to make a modern car, that rule is there to give everyone access to the same technology
  • CSR level realism is not necessary, but make something that could exist. I will punish cars that cheese too hard.
  • If you have any doubts feel free to ask either in the thread or my DMs.

Priorities:

:star::star::star:
Performance
A track car needs good performance. This will take into consideration airfield lap time, 0-100km/h acceleration and cornering Gs.

Fun
This is mostly sportiness, but uniqueness and coolness will boost it.

Running Costs
Since this car is also going to be Laura’s daily, it should be cheap to service and have good fuel economy.

Reliability
If the car breaks, she will be left without a car until it gets repaired.

:star::star:
Practicality
Not the ingame stat. How many seats does it have?, how much stuff can you fit in?

Design
A good looking car is always better. It has to look sporty but not like a supercar.

Comfort
Laura is going to spend a lot of time in this car, and back pains aren’t fun.

Price
She wants to save some money if possible, but if a car is interesting enough she will use the whole budget.

Safety
Modern safety standards are expected.

:star:
Drivability
Don’t make it undrivable and you should be fine. ESC should take care of it.

Enviromental Resistance
Rust isn’t a big issue where she lives, but some basic protection is expected.

Inspirations:

Mazda MX-5

Toyota GT86

Renault Megane RS

BMW 335i

Nissan 350Z

The reason this one is called B-Spec is that it focuses on the affordable track-ready sports car segment, whereas the original Weekend Warrior focused on the premium end of that market.

Ooh, this will be fun for my first challenge!

What does SVC mean? (SerVice Costs…? I’m still new to challenges)

Yes, good guess.

2020 Llud Elene T230



Improving upon the 2017 Elene redesign, the 2020 model switches to a German-sourced 2.0 turbocharged engine, producing 230 bhp in T230 trim. As part of that same package, there is stiffer suspension, bigger brakes and a redesigned exterior for better aerodynamics and cooling, all of which improves track performance and driving fun. As before, two tiers of comfort packages, as well as driving assists, are available in order to make the experience as liveable and enjoyable as customers might want, without sacrificing the lightweight sportscar experience.

Since the new update changed some things, @the-chowi and @Mausil are allowed an extra resubmission.

I also have to check everything still works fine, I’ve heard techpool is bugged rn but it shouldn’t affect this challenge.

My photomode is bugged (crashes to desktop every time), but can’t see any other major issues - hopefully fixed soon!
