The Kurburgring Lap

It's too bad I can't use this: https://kerbalx.com/Deathpuff12/Jetsetter

Oh well, I might make another car just for this challenge. I've never done a race before, and the car I made was just a one-off thing, but maybe I'll do it again and see how it turns out!

What's wrong with that entry? It looks usable, unless I'm completely forgetting something.

Wheels.

Check the "anything goes" rules.

[Deathpuff12]

I would go by those rules, but I want to keep in the regular submissions. To separate myself from the "riff-raff"

But yeah, it's not a problem.

Maybe I can do a new one and this one, when I've got the time.

I think it looks good, put it on KerbalX so I can download it and make sure it's got a large enough amount of downforce and wings to qualify as a "wing car".

The amount of wings is rather small, and aesthetic is a huge deal in this contest, it has to look like a modern day supercar, and it looks more or less like an R/C car, I'm not trying to sound rude and say your craft is ugly, but it just doesn't fit the aesthetic portion of the challenge, which requires a supercar like resemblance.

This is just a basic frame, which I am going to develop into an up-scaled version. Stay tuned!

Just created an in-game flag for the challenge!

Save this image; it has the right proportions and everything.

Awesome, thanks!

Uploaded my car.

It can be found here.

I hope it qualifies. I put a lot of work into making it look nice and work well.

I might make some modifications to the spoiler in the back before I race though.

@EpicSpaceTroll139 - Using the vernors as mirrors is brilliant, just brilliant

The car seems to meet all the requirements and definitely fits the aesthetic we're looking for, I think it should be allowed but I can't make a final decision without He_162's opinion. I do think the car looks amazing though!

My first attempt with the CANUKWurks F1 took 1:37 but I can probably do much better with a bit of practice

@EpicSpaceTroll139 - I stole your idea for the rear view mirrors

I like the car, if need any help with increasing performance just ask C7-Rejects/prgm Trouble, He_162, or me, we all know plenty about making high performing cars.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that but I have a feeling its something positive. :-)

Performance isn't the issue ... I have a little experience building cars myself

Ok then.

Nice to see there's still some life in my old, unfinished mod. This was my run back then:

I can't believe that its been well over a month since I first found out about this and i'm still blown away by it!

Should run that again  ... I had a blast putting that top fuel together

@DoctorDavinci which mod did you use to paint your F1 car?

Sneak peek at my new test vehicle:

A little better aesthetically, has 9 juno engines, weighs 8.6 tons, has insane handling. It is still going to be a test vehicle, as the car is still not good enough for my standards. I may make a fully developed version in the future, but I'm still focused on finding a balance between aerodynamic part drag from the modelling and the eyesore of raw utilitarian engineering that I'm used to. Lap time coming at some point...

[Azimech]

WIP. Modern enough for you guys?
