ThermalShark, I've checked that out before. Look in the plugin pack

I will be revealing my car soon. Need to dust up a few things, and fool around with my patented Active Rear Suspension Entity. Yes, that name was intentional. XD Also thinking of allowing this because of the Heavy Duty seat.

[imgur ]FKJA5[/ imgur] Try this. No spaces.

Small rule changes. Redesigns may be in order.

I'll be revealing my car to the world in about 25 hours. Should I give a teaser?

I'm hoping that the supermassive black hole is fixed, it's a little buggy. Also I'm hoping for P3X-899 to be retextured.

Nah. mrpamplemousse?

I reward you with a hug. :3

Didn't notice that, Frafor. I'll get GROOV3ST3R to fix the package.

I'm going slow enough to dodge the control tower...

Thanks, Frafor! I'm looking forward to what you can put together. Note that you can't reuse, however you can adapt your car.

Aaaaand that's why I love Sweden.

The camber on your rover's wheels is absolutely magnificent.

Looks almost picture-perfect from the front. Very good job.

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Kerbal Racing Federation's Formula K Championship! Formula K is the ultimate racing category of Kerbal motorsport. Only the best can make it, and only the best of the best can win. Do you have what it takes? About the competition: The scoring system is rather simple: 1st: 25pts 2nd: 18pts 3rd: 15pts 4th: 12pts 5th: 10pts 6th: 8pts 7th: 6pts 8th: 4pts 9th: 2pts 10th: 1pt <11th: 0pts Reigning champ is GROOV3ST3R. Please note: If you participated in the previous championship for more than one race, you must design a new car. Below are the Regulations and the Plugin Pack that is required. The cars must be built to these regulations. Yes, they are strict, but it ensures that the competition is close. REGULATIONS FOR FORMULA K CARS: Command / Structure: 1. Command 1.1. Must be driven by a Kerbal in an EAS-1 External Command Seat. 1.2. Only 1 Kerbal and 1 seat are permitted. 1.3. In order for RCS (see Powertrain: 2) to work, you must drive in Docking Mode. 2. Structure. 2.1. Kerbal must be safe from front and side impacts, and safe from rolling. 2.2. Minimum weight of vehicle is 0.9t with EMPTY RCS tanks. (see Powertrain: 2) 2.3. Main body must be created from Pocket I-Beams and at least 1 1x1m metal plate. 2.4. You are allowed 10 Cubic Octagonal struts between the front and rear wheels. An unlimited number are allowed before the front wheels and after the rear wheels. Powertrain: 1. Must be powered by four (4) RoveMax Model M1. No more, no less. 1.1. All wheels may be powered and steerable. 2. One (1) FL-R10 RCS tank is permitted, along with three (3) Place-Anywhere 7 RCS ports. Maximum RCS amount is 30 units. Aerodynamics: 1. Seven (7) Small Control Surfaces permitted. 4 are to be at the front of the vehicle, and 3 are to be at the rear. - Alternatively, you may replace 3 of the front small surfaces with a large surface. This is not permitted at the rear. ALL downforce items MUST be in front of the front axle / behind the rear. 1.1. Control Surfaces MUST be locked. Visuals: 1. Other mods are permitted for visuals, but if I decide that they give you an advantage, they must be removed or the vehicle will be disqualified. Races and entry: Races will start from a standing start, and using the MET timer, racers will complete one timed lap of the circuit. They must use the PersistentTrails mod, included in the package. On entry to the competition, racers will need to provide a screenshot of their vehicle in the editor, along with a name of their company/team and the designation of their car. In each race, 3 screenshots are required: - MET Start Time - MET Finish Time - PersistentTrails track. This will verify your lap time and your route, to check if you've cut the corners. Using the grey brick walkways as part of the track is permitted, but using the grass is not. You must start your lap perpendicular to the start/finish line. At the closure of each round, total points will be tallied. At the closure of Race 5, a Top 3 will be appointed and they will be able to receive an image to place in their signature, if they wish. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wm7weiqy51fztg1/bX26bCOfGb I hope to see many people join. This thread is for discussion, car designing tips, rule discussions and possible changes, car releases, and eventually a race or two. Other races will go in other threads. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks, Kyrian. As for the "OP must show that challenge is possible" rule, I will enter all 5 races.

Bad and good news. Bad first? Okay. This is closing. The good news is, everything will be revised. A new thread(s) will be up soon. The main thread will be for rule discussion, car sharing, and three subsequent threads will be for races. Two races for one thread, three for another. Maybe. This will stop the cluttering of the main thread, and there will also be a much longer timeframe to finish each race. Hope to see you all soon, Kyrian.

As for the Race Challenge thing, that's mine. We use the other wheels, though. I'm restarting the challenge soon, except the regulations will stay similar. You could probably enter your smexy little Ferrari! As for my car, I designed mine on the VJM07 which I have fallen in love with. It'd be great to have you in the challenge! - Kyrian

This thing's been dead for nearly a month. Should I restart this or make a new thread for it? I still want this little project to go ahead. I think it's a great way for people to show their designing/engineering skills. Anyway, I'd like opinions. Continue?

Just a question for everyone, has anyone experimented with toe angles and camber? Maybe even caster? I have. [removed]'s about to go down. Formula K is looking a little dead, so I think trucks are the way to go. Edit: ey, 300th!

This is everything I've ever dreamed of, ever. I approve. I approve so much.

You could make it more efficient by angling the engines to straight down. But that way, it won't look as awesome.

Have you seen the movie 'Sunshine'? You know what to do.

That happened to me when I was on the runway. I thought it was a bit too dark, turned around and OH NO WHERE DID THE SUN GO. Beautiful!

If you think about it, we have the Moon, which orbits the Earth, which orbits the Sun. By that logic, one more step should be possible.

Present your design, and if I like it then I may allow it. Two of the six wheels must be unpowered, however. The reason I may allow it is because I adore the Tyrrell P34. It looked best in 1975 at the International Trophy when it was sporting an airbox.
