The whole point of the race is to bring a car worth $500 and have fun. If you bring a BMW 7 series it's obviously going to get claimed. Lots of other racing series uses a claim system to keep it fair but they crush it to go along with all the other fun madness of the event.
@bbourgeois87 they should. itd be funny as hell. i like racing, there are ass holes, but then there are a whole lot of good natured people who uphold sportsmanship. the 24hrs du lemons is the pinnacle of all of that, its hard to watch this race without smiling because it is somewhat farcical, but at the same time im riveted because i am impressed at seeing these old cars bring it to the table.
The over all Car is well over 5 Grand including all of the saftey Features, The only thing fator of 500 is the acutall car and the engine more or less, the saftey feasutes costs are not factored in. People can find all sorts of nice cars at a junkyard.
so people vote the curse to people who spent more than $500 because they cheated??.. cause i'd be pissed if i spent all that money, didnt cheat, and had it destroyed because people didnt like my car
They cheated by spending more than $500 on the car. The rule states that your car (minus wheels, tires, and safety equipment) must cost $500 or less to build, including the price of the car.
it is explicitly stated in the rules of the race that the proprietors are allowed to destroy any car at any time, for any reason they see fit. They could simply throw a dart at the roster and destroy whoever's car it lands on if they wanted to.
Great in car action! Check out KarbonEntertainment for 12 episodes of 24 Hours of Lemons and all the drama you get with this same event. If you like the channel please subscribe. Cheers!
rims dont count as a part of the $500 max price. Rims, tires, rollcages, fuel systems, mufflers, seats, harnesses are all "free" items when determining the $500.
If you are going to try to bring a "nice" car to the race, think twice! This is to level the playing field, people try to squeak by with these outragous cars and think they are going to finish. Just get a normal $500 car and race like everyone else.
these guys didn't cheat. the rules state "Total Investment in Vehicle Can Not Exceed $500." NOT total worth like everybody thinks. It was a dealer "lean" car.
The rules also state that cars that SHOULD be worth more....don't count as $500. They may indeed have got the car for $500 or less (Good for them) but they were still going against the spirit of the race...and paid the price.
guess what??? us stupid americans have this sweet ass race, and i am going to enter with a bmw, its just a huge shit piece, unlike this concourse recent car.
You just don't get it at all, AR86YZF. The driver is the one who destroyed it when he decided to cheat and bring such an expensive car to the race. You do realize the point is to have a car that costs $500 or less?
It's got nothing to do with some dumb rivalry of car manufacturer nationalities. Get over it.
If you can get a car for less than 500 bucks its fair game. If you somehow get a car like that for 500 bucks its fair game, but have to be ready for things like the people's curse. Its bullshit. There are better ways to deal with cheaters but the series emhpasizes humor just as much as competition. Something for everybody I guess.
The whole system if oyu ask me is flawed. For example, the logical thing to do would be to always vote the fastest guy out so everyone places 1 spot better. And instead of builing the fastest car you can build, you build a car that looks really slow, and spend the first 12 hours sandbagging so you don't get voted out. Personally, sounds stupid. But I'm sure some others would enjoy this more than a real serious lo-cost enduro series.
@HostageKiller Don't argue with idiots, My dad told me along time ago don't argue with fools, because from afar you can't tell who is who! LOL, if this idiot is talking about brands, etc, he obviously doesn't get the essence of Lemons
Actually, I agree, this site is international, no one can lay claim. Maybe started American (I don't know who's idea it was) but the content is from everywhere.
I agree with you about the bad qualities of a lot of American car... But, this is a series call Lemons, and when you enter there you have to follow the rule.
1st: The car must worth 500 bucks, include sponsorship and garage worker but not fuel and any safety equipment. This BMW worth at least 9k$. It one laps penalties be 10$ overs 500$:850 laps penalties.
2nd: The guy who proof to be the biggest jerk on the track, judge be the spectator, is car gone to be destroy. And be at -850 is stupid.

Not really. Cheating is an internationally recognized foible.
They went to race where you are supposed to be in a $500 car.. It may be an American thing to show up to a race like this in a 740. LOL!
Rule in the race allows people to vote any car they suspect going over $500 to be ripped apart. Its a way of keeping people honest. ...Sort of.
