AcMo Hyper Car Hot Lap X-prize

AcMo has remained inactive for far too long.  This issue is too important for us to continue to ignore.  It is time for us to bring a fractured automotive segment back together again.  All of these cars need a good home where they can be exploited to their maximum potential.  AcMo is that home.

Testing is vital to any semi-serious performance organization.  We treat vehicle testing with the same reverence and importance as food:  we can’t survive without either one.  The problem with continuous testing is that vehicles fail.  Repair downtime is counted against available testing time.  One method we employ to mitigate downtime is to rotate the test fleet as often as possible.  As the price of vehicles increases and the owner pool becomes shallower, it grows more difficult to gain access to the appropriate high performance vehicles.

AcMo engineers have been working hard on a plan to get the latest ultra-performance vehicles into the test vehicle fleet on a faster and more consistent basis while not reducing our profitability.  That work has begun rewarding us with the formulation of a brilliant concept.  

The AcMo Hyper Car Hot Lap X-prize will run in conjunction with the FIA’s World Endurance Championship as a support series, provided they approve of the plan.  The event consists of a morning warm-up, a late morning qualifying session, and an afternoon 5-lap race.  AcMo judges will determine the winner.  Each winner will be impounded by AcMo for post-race scrutineering, so each manufacturer needs to bring several examples so that there will always be enough cars to run. 

An overall winner will be selected at the end of the season based on arbitrary criteria decided at the time, and the winning vehicle will become a permanent member of AcMo’s test fleet.  The losing vehicles will also be added to AcMo’s test fleet to keep things fair.
