Im gonna skip alot of class from now on.
F1 season just started, and im suppose to meet jon at his house tomorrow. Then on monday im gonna camp at the f1 room all day long, working on a car we cant possibly use to beat TEAM FUGA, coz theyre FCKING UNIMAGINATIVE GAY ASSHOLES. stupid...
Ok to all of you who dont know what F1 really is, its basically us trying to do what those people who get thousands and millions of dollars trying to work on. The Worlds Fastest Car. Basically were given wooden blocks to build our cars, and dont think its as easy as geting a saw and start hacking away some pieces. The process of making a car that actually goes fast is painstaking, and it takes long hours of trial and error before you THINK you finally have the fastest car you can ever make on your skill level.
So once we have the design, we need to make it 3d. Oh yes, thats what I said, THREE DIMENSIONAL. so were not gonna use some crappy MS paint. Were using advanced software that the same people use to build bridges, houses, and even real f1 cars.
Once we have our 3d design, its off to the easiest part of making the car. The manufacturing. Its easy because of 2 things:
1. The process is all automated by the machine, just 1 click of a button and the jig saw hacks away fine details on your wooden block.
2. The values and numbering should be automated, which means the people who installed the programme should have added in all the necesary values for us to easily just start hacking away without worrying what number goes where.
Then comes the expensive part, painting our car. Why expensive you say? were not using some cheap buncho paint or those wall paints. Were using real paint those people who spray paints ferraris and maceratis use. A good paint job can make your car feel like its made out of plastic. And that same paint job can cost up to 1k each car. (now you see why its the most expensive?)
Custom made wheels are optional, but to win, its absolutely mandatory. a good set of wheels should cost about 1.5k or so.
Then the little stuff that we still need to worry about, our uniform and booth. Basically when the competition starts on the first day, were all given a special booth for us to add in some stuff to advertise our car. For example, a chinese team last year added in a whole city model and their car in it. That should be hard to top. Whats even harder to top is that some of the teams EVEN HAVE PLASMA TV SCREENS ON THEIR BOOTH. i dont know HOW THE HELL they can do that in just 1 hour, but they made it. As you can see competition is everywhere, with 2 or 3 other states joining us this year for round 1.
BUT
Dont just think that the fastest car gets to proceed. Well if you are the fastest you DO get to proceed but it just feels lowly. Marks can be obtained by different ways, the highest mark getting from our car speed. A fast car can give us about 79/80 points. 80 points can be given if the car somehow breaks the worlds record, which is 1.100 seconds.
OMG im starting to bore my readers down, well thats for all, anymore info just join our club (lol too straight forward)
