What ho, chaps!

Welcome to the;

Inaugural Simple Planes Festival of Speed

What is this heresy!? I hear you cry? Well, old chap, this is an ‘homage to all things old, oily, petrol burning and, above all, quick!

This challenge, em, challenges you to;

• Build a 1940’s 1950’s style racing automobile.
• Lend me the keys to said beauty
• Watch as I hoon it around Gold Prix Raceway
• Gaze in awe as I give her a bloody good seeing to in a straight line drag along Wright Airports main runway.

So, what can you win?

Easy!

• 10 upvotes and spots for the winner
• 6 upvotes and spots to the runner up
• 3 upvotes and spots to the second runner up

Two prizes of this sort shall be dealt out; one for looks, one for functionality.

So, whats the rules?

• The vehicle must be a successor to this post (the cockpit is in the seat back)
• The vehicle entered must use one stock car engine. Max 600hp. No other engines allowed.
• The vehicle entered must be in the spirit of a 1940s/1950s open wheeled open top racer.
• Parts counts of maximum 400 parts/minimum 150 parts (although the awesomness of your creation might induce me to be more lenient with the minimum part count).
• Stock wheels only. Four wheels must be used.
• Rear wheel drive only
• Total minimum weight of 1000lbs.
• XML modding allowed.
• The vehicle entered must fit inside the box provided. That is 6 feet wide, 13.5 feet long and 4.5 feet high (excluding the driver).
• I reserve the right to disqualify entries that are clearly not in the 40’s/50’s spirit.

Entries shall be submitted by latest 01/02/2019 CET. Thats Euro format, by the way, so February 1st.

How will this be Judged?

There are three criteria;

• 1 - One lap around the Gold Prix Raceway (best of three will be taken).
• 2 - 0-top speed-0 drag run on Wright main runway (highest speed of three runs will be taken)
• 3 - Looks, scored out of 10.

Driving will be done by me.

And thats it. Any questions? Kindly register them below.
