Kerbal Space Center Racing Championship (KSCRC)

[DarkOwl57]

This racing series, the KSCRC, is held over 10 races (2 of them are non-points races), and 5 cars are involved. The races are based solely on time. The races are held over a certain number of laps. The time is on the TOTAL time to complete the number of laps (not the fastest lap). The race cars must have 4 wheels, and no cheats are allowed. A maximum of 12 RCS ports are allowed, but they must be the one-way ports that are powered by monopropellant (None of the OX and LF mix). DRS is allowed, and some cars like the AS-1A can have Double DRS (where the front and the rear wing slide down.), to increase speed. This can only be used on the Super-cup and All-star cars. Any setup is allowed (in fact encouraged), but Please share your design tweaks with me to let me know what is up (I'm going up against my friends and I could use the help).

Make sure to follow the racing line! Any corner cutting or track extension could make you time disqualified!

Make sure to state which type of car it is! That way you can get onto the leaderboard.

Here's the cars:

Endurance: These cars are meant for ANY type of race (Day, night, whatever), and are used for the first and last race of the season. However, they are MASSIVE and slower than a hippo.

Rally: These cars, which look more like a dune buggy than a race car, have a wide wheelbase and great cornering, allowing them to take jumps and corners well.

Sports car: These cars are somewhat large, but are good for most everything. The rear is prone to roll, though, and so make sure to be careful on the turns.

Supercup: OHMYGODTHISISSOFAST!!!!!!!!! Basically imagine the child of an Indycar, F1, and a hummingbird.

And last, but MOST CERTAINLY not least,

All-Star: Oh my goodness this beauty... I made this with 2 ideas in mind: Unbelievable speed, and god-like cornering grip. With a maximum (tested) speed of 52 m/s (I was just halfway down the straight with RCS Blazing as well,) this thing has incredible speed and more.

Note: YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN CARS!!! Just make sure to include what class it is, and setup info. I'll have pics up soon.

That's a lot of work you put in there! Nice!

Are you sure RCS is the way to go? People will probably run out of fuel quickly and the thrust is abysmal at sea level.

I have a TON of those radial tanks just offset into the fuselage of the car. Makes is 1: Streamlined and 2: Useful

Yeah, I don't really want to use those engines as even though they might be useful for like sounds and stuff, it would be sort of non realistic. In F1, you (normally) don't see a 1 mile long smoke trail going out behind the car.

Thanks! I saw an F1 car challenge video on YouTube and I thought it would be super cool to have a race league. 4 months, many explosions, and 4 more cars later*, we have the KSCRC!

 

*Fun fact: the AS-1A was actually not an original idea. I got the design off of this

from @Draconiator's Etherium Story. Changes include: No engine, changed the wing parts with those structural panels, added the KSO spotlight, added some fins, and made it grip to the ground like a magnet.

Also, the AS-1A was created AFTER me and my friends did the first race. I was re-reading the story and I saw this and was like: I MUST RACE THIS THING!!!!!

[Azimech]

I like a passionate yell like that.

Anyway ... the smoke ... yes I don't like it either. For terrain, like rally driving I feel it's fitting. And the engines can be edited for the smoke to be out (which I often do when flying my own helicopters & turboprops).

I'm interested to see what kind of performance will come out of it. I'm uploading a video of my Charger on my own race track, it does 88m/s tops and has a helluva acceleration, using 4 juno's. I need that kind of speed or I'll fall asleep at the wheel (not IRL, mind you).

Well I'm thinking about making a cinematic over the Christmas Break, and I'm planning to use an engine to simulate a smoky engine blowout  Who know, though. If the editing stuff out works, I might just do it.
