- Team Name: DeLorean
- Driver: Jan DeLorean
- Assembled: Unknown (A barn located somewhere near Volendam, Lorentia)
- Engine:
- 177 cu in (2.90 Litre) inline four-cylinder engine, capable of producing up to 20 horse power (15 kW) for a top speed of 45 mph (72 km/h).
- The piston engine is used to compress air, which is then mixed with fuel and burned to produce pulses of hot gas, which are expelled through a back nozzle to generate propelling force.
- A gear-driven pump (turbocharger) forces air into the engine in order to generate forced induction.
- Equipped with an auxiliary, "ultralight" two-stroke, two-cylinder, rotary intake valve, oil-in-fuel or oil injection pump, liquid-cooled, gear reduction-drive engine mounted in the side-rear of the vehicle, and powering the rear wheels.
- Transmissions: Three-speed shaft drive
- Wheelbase: 2.413 metres
- Length: 3.01 metres
- Width: 0.92 metre
- Height: 1.4 metres
- Notes: The "company" of DeLorean Enterprises consists of one man, Jan DeLorean, a former professor and engineer. After being fired from his job at Spyker for wasting resources on a series of futuristic and costly designs, DeLorean founded his own ship in a barn near Volendam, where over the course of a decade he slowly built a prototype car. His car uses dozens of inventions and parts scrapped from other cars and other mechanized equipment. Isolated from the rest of the world, DeLorean's family has shunned him, figuring that one day his machine would blow up in his face. His final car is an unruly mess, and is only entered by one side's gull-wing door. Upon hearing about the Kalamata Race, DeLorean spent the last of his life savings on a way to Belka, even turning to illegal activity to keep his "company" afloat. He manages to sail to Belka just as authorities begin investigating, and he leaves believing that he won't be welcomed back in Borealian society again, unless of course he wins the race.
Results[]
Each team is given a team score out of ten and a safety score out of ten. The safety score out of ten is the probability of an accident which takes two off your team score by delaying you. This is decided by RNG. All the team scores are then added up to equal 55. Using an RNG the winner will be decided.
