Things to note:

- make your rear axle wider

- give your car one more click of front wing angle.

Other than that, I think that's not bad. Looks a teeny bit heavy, maybe try running 15-20 RCS?

Slightly new to the racing scene so I will take those points into consideration. Thank you!

Only problem is when racing I com back with about 5-7 units of rcs fuel left so... yeah. I also might try to only use 1 rcs port to reduce the consumption of the fuel like you did <3.

---------------------EDIT---------------------

Due to that help I just acheived a 1:39 Nearly in that drawing group xD.

---------------------EDIT---------------------

Just got a 1:38! MOAR POINTS!!!

So I'm gonna post it here and maybe later on my YouTube channel...

4:30 start

6:08 end

A time of 1:38. Man am I proud of that xD

Thanks to Kyrian for the tips tho. WOULD NOT have been able to do it with out that!

Didn't reduce the rcs fuel though. I had 4.66 units at the end of that run.

Also I would like to know how you're gonna deal with the drawing points wise.

burnoutforzai, if competitors have the same laptime, the person who set it first will be highest, second will be second highest etc.

Check out the 1997 European Grand Prix for why I do this.

Done in the Kyrian Racing Laboratories EX-01.

[burnoutforzai]

I thought that you could only do 1 re-try. If not I'm heading out on the track again very soon!

Also that was the closest qualifying I've ever seen (1997 GP)!

[NQMT]

The lap record isn't a race lap. I did the fastest lap so I could have bragging rights about being quick.

It doesn't count to points, just another place where I can squash my name into.

[burnoutforzai]

Oh ok. xD fair enough

Ah just got a 1:37 but I guess I can't post it?

And a 1:34!

then a 1:32.5

[zhollett]

how did you get a 1:32.5?

where are you getting your "point fivezes" from

on a serious note, those are some great lap times.

[burnoutforzai]

Thanks bro... To be honest it should be a 1:32 but I was moving at the beginning meaning that I should get a penalty xD so I thought 0.5 secs would be ok. lol

[zhollett]

We still have work to do, because Kyrian keeps lowering (raising?) the bar... a 1:28!! whoa.

I've just put in a 1:30 in the Skidmark v6, trying to squeeze every last bit of oomph i can

[NQMT]

Remember, the 'Fastest Lap' category can be entered by the new 'Open Class' which is unrestricted stock cars.

The lap itself doesn't mean anything, apart from bragging rights.

Also to note, all penalties are one second. If you jump start, +1s. If you cut a corner, +1s.

[burnoutforzai]

Ok then Kyrian. I was thinking of doing a jet design for the open class. Is that aloud if I can tame it xD

[zhollett]

within reason, right? i mean, if im only penalized +1s for starting at a flying lap (starting my lap while doing 24m/s) ... then (sub?) 1:25's might be possible, taking into account the +1s penalty

I think that if you jumpstart (eg: your velocity is anything other than 0.0m/s) your submission should be void. That way, we can avoid what I said ^ in that line.

Thoughts?

Edited November 20, 2014 by zhollett

[NQMT]

Any jump starts over 3.5m/s are nullified laps.

Also: wheel power only.

[Edit] Some news for you all: 1:26 around the Race One track whilst testing my new Formula K chassis.

The "Open Class regulations" say: "No SAS or ASAS is permitted". Does it also count for normal class? Does it mean the Kercedes is forbidden?

[zhollett]

Is there a weight restriction on the open class?

Because I have an completely unofficial (non-recorded/trails) lap at 1:23

If there's no weight restriction, i might think about submitting it (provided I can do it again )

Edited November 20, 2014 by zhollett
clarification

[mrmcp1]

Just to clarify things for the open class rules: How many RCS tanks are you allowed? Do all wings need to be locked and what is the weight limit? Thanks

[RussaX]

Looking about to enter this challenge. Going to build my proto machine.

[NQMT]

Everything that's in the Open Class rules is what's restricted. Everything else is open.

This is interesting. I never looked at what the .trk file was, but its just a simple text doc with geo coords.

I copied the contents and put it on pastebin here ->http://pastebin.com/KW0AFGct

So, copy that text, and save it as Race 1.trk, put it in the tracks folder, and away you go

[NQMT]

Thanks for that!

I'll update the link soon.

"Main body must be created from Pocket I-Beams and at least 1 1x1m metal plate."

Does that mean that wheels and all main parts have to be connected to that or I can place that anywhere as I can see from images.
