Race Motors X1GR (Chassis #02A)

The **Race Motors X1GR Evolution** is a track prototype racecar, designed by Race Motors. It is notable for being Race Motors' first widebodied car, and is also a rebuild of the Chassis #02B X1GR, recovered from a Blockmans incident. It's an update on the Race Motors X1GR, with a new Exceeding Limits tuned Flat-8 developed on the Race Motors Photon's engine. This car does in fact share many parts with the Photon design study, including the Nitrium Z Kilonova.

The car was later given the name, "ການ​ຂົ່ມ​ຂູ່​ສີ​ດໍາ", or The Carbon Menace.

## Design

Like its previous life, the X1GR Evolution is a one-off Flat-8 powered prototype, with extreme emphasis on aerodynamics - even more so in its Evolution form. It's projected to generate 30% more downforce than its previous incarnation - further pushing it forwards as the most aerodynamic car ever produced.

Utilizing a new widebody, the car now has a stance of 6 blocks wide. Multiple intakes were relocated, and the diffuser was enlarged with a blown segment, and now both ground effect elements have angular segments to generate standard downforce on top of ground effect downforce. The car uses a 4-layer wing that has been enlarged with the width of the car, as compared to the 1.5-layer wing from the X1GR before it. The front splitter was enlarged, and utilizes 3 sets of diveplanes, and 2 further downforce elements placed on the splitter.

## Performance

The X1GR Evolution uses a higher power, still pure ethanol powered engine, Flat-8 Twincharged by Exceeding Limits. It can power itself to 36 BPS in about 2.20s, and a speed of 140 BPS, thanks to the development from the Photon allowing an extremely high power but stable engine. Its skidpad rating was even higher than its previous incarnation, hitting 2.6gs before, but now clocking at just over 2.8gs at 70 BPS.

Performance - 140 BPS, 0-36 in 2.20s.

## History

The car initially began life as an X1GR, utilizing a modified 3.2L Flat-8 dubbed the F82XE based on the Race Motors X1G Evolution. Racing alongside its #02A V10 powered sibling, it would lead the flagship development of Race Motors. Later, it was entered into the Blockmans, attempting to enter the Blockmans Prototype 1 class. It was later classified as a Blockmans Grand Tourer, which made little sense as compared to its prototype nature. It was then transferred to a separate transportation fleet, not approved by Race Motors, and weather conditions caused an incident, where the car was damaged in an initially "irreparable" state. It was moved to the design studio for some time.

After Race Motors announced that they would rebuild the car for the upcoming X1G's anniversary, the car was shown back to the world in its severely damaged state. Over the course of several days, the car was completely rebuilt, and a new, Exceeding Limits tuned Flat-8 powerplant was placed into the car, as the previous powertrain was destroyed. The car was then given a widebody, and the aerodynamics were upgraded to complement the new engine power. The new X1GR Evolution was shown into the world, as a retrofitted version of a former wreck. Race Motors stated that they "Believe that all cars deserve their chance to shine, and we saw that the upcoming anniversary was the time for the poor #02B to finally see the track again. We gave it a new kit with our engineers back at the design studio, basing the internals on the Photon, and looking back on the Ultima M and G20 Track Edition for the aerodynamic design."
