Basic Impression:
Seems fiddly, but I haven't played so I can't really make that assessment.  I know that there seem to be a lot of situations where I am going to be expected to multiply on the fly and re-roll, etc.  Again, that's an initial impression and I will probably change my mind after playing.

Speed:
What difference does it make what the car length is?  I understand that you're trying for "universal" but the de facto standard for toy cars is matchbox scale, so make that the standrard so I don't have to multiply 5 by 1.5 every time I want to go 50mph. Plus, the matchbox scale isn't even correct from car to car in the line so you're trying to build a coherent system out of a random scale.

Accel and Braking:
um, braking table? 10-20, 20-30, 20-50? 

How about Handling Loss is MV/2 round up?
i.e.
10-20: 1
30-40: 2
50-60: 3
etc

I do not understand what the speed table is used for unless it's a max accel rate then I do understand and would expect that to be part of car construction, rather than based off the size of the engine.  i.e. if I want a car with a top speed of 200 and an accel of 1, I should be able to choose it. If I want a car that has a top speed of 80 and an accell of 6 I should be able to pick that. And, as has been said, let the engineers and physicists do their job and build it.

Maneuvers:
there's no difference between drift and align is there?

Driver skill is a neat idea. 

I don't like the tables for out of control, bt I can't think of a better way to do it.

I could care less about pedestrians. they are crunchy targets.  Riding on the running boards is idiotic, and should have a higher penalty.

Shooting:
Too complicated, at first glance.  I'd hate to have to go through a table of modifiers every time I take a shot at someone. That's so 80s

Penetration:
What kind of armor is there going to be is the weapons all have PEN modifiers (+5 pen? wow that's a lot)

< Armor: No Pen
= Armor: part. pen
> armor: pen
2x Armor: catastrophic

That table is just plain icky

Ramming: ok

Weapons:
Wow, um, why can't I just choose my range, choose my rof/pen and then add specials?

what the heck is load?

Gangers:
Whay can't I just pick a number?

Gang design and car design:
This is really nice. simple and easy to use. but where's the square root?

Conclusion:
obviously a rough draft and needs extensive playtesting to ensure the concepts are going to translate.  I don't think I can play based on the rules I see, but I will try.

Hopefully this weekenfd will offer me the opportunity... I may have some extra time. (yay)

Don't take this wrong: I will play test it and I see the need for a car combat game as good as starmada.

First thanks for the comments. I will take on board and see if I can correct. They point out many valid faults and ommissions the first and most obvious is that I forgot to describe car armour  :oops:

I am giving my reasoning below and not being defensive 

I kept it to 2-5 times table. I thought this would be simple enough. Because cars will have handling around 6 or 7 then you should not be doing all that higher math. at 70MPH or less you either multiply by 1 or 2. (3 if you have lost a wheel). I am not convinced it will be that hard.

Car length was the unit origionally discussed earlier in the thread for scaling. I used it because i thought it a good idea. Could easily be changed

:oops: will fix

will use

I was working on a mad-max ganger type game. I wanted to start with something that gave the right feel. cars accellerate a lot more at low speeds than high. A Porche does 0-60 a lot quicker than it does 60-100. I gave a set of basic engine/gearboxess and their performance. This seemed the most appropriate approach. 

Align can only be done at the end of a car's turn to help with aiming. Drift is an in turn maneouvre

I like it too  8)

I know what you mean it was KISS

Agreed but it may be important in a game so they needed rules

Less modifiers and lower shooting skill... got it 

Armour... going for the mad max genre feel with welded on plates and grilles I was going to have a standard car have 3D3 armour on each side. 1D6+5 is a very likely penetrate and could be serious.

catastrophc is armour +3 not 2X

The table should be in genre tho' for the mad max gangwar type game. It would not suit a polished carwars type of game at all.

Again I was going for real world weapons and sticking with the mad max genre. A shotgun is a shotgun.

Load is the number of turns you must miss loading. Mainly for crossbows

People are not like that spaceships are

Nailed to my wall

Agreed I will get some more work done tonight.

I did not take it wrong.... I will try and get a better draft up before i go to bed 23:00 UK time

Looks pretty promising Iron.    Carry on the great work mate! 
(not much good for playtesting since noone within 100+ miles to play with here...darn it.  :? )

Poor Dan...

guess that explains the silence, eh?

That's a nice run through Jim.

Next turn Dan wants to make a 90° turn without skidding to get a shot.

At the beginning of the turn he brakes to 40MPH (braking can be performed at the beginning or end of a turn) 1 handling, 3 remaining.

He then moves 3 and makes a 90° turn. SDN1 difficulty 3 total 3 handling. Safe with 0 handling left. He then moves 1 forward to end his move. He has a good shot and uses 2 driving skill to aim. He also accelerates back up to 60 to keep his options open. At the end of the turn he has 2 driver skill left and no Handling therefore he recovers 2. It is unlikely he will do much maneouvering next turn whilst he struggles to get the car back under his control.

A GW scatter die is just a die with arrows on it. a spinner or a coin with an arrow on both sides would do just the same. It is just a way to get a random direction.

Small template is 3" diameter circle and a large is 5" diameter.

Everyone I know has all these. Bad assumption on my part sorry.
