Racing Cars in 1900

how are racing cars getting 60 mph with 40hp in 1900 i can only get close to that in the engine designer with 70-80hp, how would i create a high-power lightweight engine with low hp that rivals my competitors?

The AI uses the same designer code as the player. Try looking into your gearbox's gearing and keeping your weight to a minimum. Use the prototyping system to figure out what you need to do before finishing the design.

The short answer to that is you can't really compete with the AI the first few years. The player start with a skill handicap (how big that is depends on difficulty setting). That said I did a run a while ago to see what was even possible, I will post a link to a forum post of that playthrough.

For the first part of your question, If you use the right body tweaked the right way you get way less drag and therefore being closer to that top speed. The one I made in that playthrough did 87 kmph which is about 54 mph.
