    @Dragoranos Thank you. The reason I had zero points is that this was my first and only creation in simple planes (I made it before I had this account and the tournament being held was only a coincidence). You should try out my original version that I posted on my @CAR7L account. The first one was my original intent when making this, but when I entered this tournament I decided that that wasn't fast enough, so I sacrificed actually having a human be able to drive it for speed (the motors on this one are turned down to half thrust by the way because I was too lazy to tune it for full power, but feel free to try to unleash its full potential).

    Also, because I might not make anything again and I don't want any of this information to be lost for anything you make, I recommend making the rear wheels steer 5-10° in the same direction as the front wheels, a 2:1 ratio for suspension stiffness to dampers or the reverse (I don't remember which and don't have simple planes on this computer), minimize frontal area, use air brakes with my control inputs to prevent oversteer, and if you use stock tires, 2.6 is the optimal size for both the front and rears. If you take this and the original apart, there are some other optimizations I don't remember making.

    @IMFLYINHERE I did not even know that that (a creation being "german") was a thing before you mentioned it so no not to my knowledge (the fact that the car is german is a pure coincidence)

    @thisisanaccount I could tell by the use of air brakes and only blocks. By the way did wolfhunter make a synopsis on this car before deleting it?

    @IMFLYINHERE The original was a masterpiece by the way capable of cornering at 20Gs with a top speed of 700kph all with stock parts on just 1200 HP and a perfectly smooth experience, this on the other hand is a monstrosity

    @WolfHunter9111 the previous version just crashed at the end this doesnt and represents the actual reality of the situation (its got the same deviations from standard car design as the nuclear one)
