[[EotLP FL Racing]] began producing their own Chassis from [[Formula Lego: Season 09|Season 9]], after the [[Enginegate]] Scandal.
Across their 13-Season tenure in Formula Lego, [[EotLP FL Racing]] produced 5 Chasses based on a pre-existing [[Octan FL Chasses|Octan Chassis]], and produced 5 of their own Chasses. The Team began producing their own Chassis from [[Formula Lego: Season 09|Season 9]], after the [[Enginegate]] Scandal.

After Enginegate, National cut its supply agreement with [[Octan FL]], however as they didn't have the resources set up yet in order to properly build and design their own Chasses, they simply continued upgrading the OE29C05A (Their Season 7 Chassis), which was itself a modified version of the Octan Season 7 Chassis, the OE29C05.
For the first 7 seasons of FL, National was a customer team of [[Octan FL|Octan]], meaning they received the car & engine that Octan had developed a month before the start of each season. From there, each team would adapt and change their vehicles through the rest of the season. This agreement was terminated before the start of [[Formula Lego: Season 08|Season 8]], after the Legal conclusion to [[Enginegate]].

Latest revision as of 16:26, 12 December 2024

Across their 13-Season tenure in Formula Lego, EotLP FL Racing produced 5 Chasses based on a pre-existing Octan Chassis, and produced 5 of their own Chasses. The Team began producing their own Chassis from Season 9, after the Enginegate Scandal.

Adapted Octan Chasses

For the first 7 seasons of FL, National was a customer team of Octan, meaning they received the car & engine that Octan had developed a month before the start of each season. From there, each team would adapt and change their vehicles through the rest of the season. This agreement was terminated before the start of Season 8, after the Legal conclusion to Enginegate. However, National did not develop their own Chassis until Season 9, so for Season 8, they simply ran a further-upgraded version of the Season 7 Octan Chasses they already possessed.

OE20C10N

National's debut OE20C10N
National's debut OE20C10N

Although technically not built by National, National's first Chassis was an upgraded version of Octan's Season 1 - Season 3 Chassis, the OE20C10. They performed significant alterations, changing the characteristic of the car from the Octan's, and allowing for National to be competitive with the team that should theoretically have a significant hardware advantage over National. Vance Lewison managed to win the Season 2 Driver's Title in the OE20C10N, despite the package's overall uncompetitive performance. The most notable difference between the National and Octan Chassis was National's proprietary nose & front-wing assembly, and their rear wing. Across the 3 seasons it performed for, the OE20C10N won 8 races - more than either Octan (7 Wins) or Osborne (3 Wins).

OW21A10B

National's second Chassis once again was based off of Octan's contemporary challenger. National raced it for Season 4 and Season 5, after the Chassis freeze agreed to when the catastrophic nature of the Season 4 Power Unit regulations became clear to all the teams. During Season 5, National actually beat Octan in the Constructors' Title Championship for the first time. During Season 4, National and the OW21A10B won 2 Races.

OE28C16D

National's Season 6 Entry fared fairly competitively compared to the Octan. Eva Sayll took National's second Driver's Title, which ended up making several Octan executives (most notably Octan Team Manager Lucilla Svilar) angry at National's ability to challenge them, even with what should objectively, always, be a package inferior to Octan's own. This started the chain of events that would lead to Enginegate.

OE29C05A

During Season 7, a scandal unfolded, that came to be known as Enginegate, where Octan supplied National with uncompetitive engines intentionally, using a very tricky loophole in their mostly good-faith based contract. National cut ties with Octan at the end of Season 7, and didn't take any more hardware from Octan. National's Eva Sayll did still win a Race during the season though, although it required quite impressive circumstances for her to do so.

OE29C05D1

After Enginegate, National cut its supply agreement with Octan FL, however as they didn't have the resources set up yet in order to properly build and design their own Chasses, they simply continued upgrading the OE29C05A (Their Season 7 Chassis), which was itself a modified version of the Octan Season 7 Chassis, the OE29C05. National's final Octan-based Chassis was a real struggler, that led to them falling far, far behind both Osborne and Octan in the Season 8 Constructor's Title. It was an upgraded version of the chassis they had developed for Season 7 out of the Octan OE29C05. It performed poorly compared to the Chassis that Octan had developed for Season 8, which had made several major improvements over their Season 7 Chassis.

OE29C05D1 Eughghgghh
A heavily Modified Season 7 Octan Chassis, the OE29C05D1 was not a very well performing vehicle, but it did give National Engineers the Experience to create a Title-Winning Car

NC1

National's first fully In-house Chassis brought them two race wins, with Vance Lewison and Anna Aster. Aster also managed to win the Driver's Title, and brought home National's first Constructor’s Title, with 28 points. The Chassis was Impressive, although what truly won them the season was their Torque Recovery System.

NC1 Promo
National's Title-Winning debut Chassis, the NC1

NC2

National repeated their Constructor's Victory in Season 10 with the NC2. National Scored 30 points across the 8-race Season, including 3 victories. Aster finished P3 in the standings, just 10 points from the Champion, Julia Young, and Former National Champion Eva Sayll finished just behind her, in P4. Fire F1 nearly beat National for the constructor's title, finishing just a single point behind the new status-quo power.

NC2 Wow
While Aster couldn't quite repeat her Title Victory in Season 10, the NC2 sailed right to a constructor's victory

NC3

With a new superstar - Aleks Rosya - behind the wheel at National, the NC3 ran National to their 4th Driver's Title, and their third consecutive Constructor's Title. Although, with Octan finding their own superstar in Adrienne De Leon, Octan held closer to National than they had in previous years.

NC3 Wowee
National's NC3 took a commanding Constructors' Title Victory, their third in a row, as well as a Driver's Title, with Cklserolvan Driver Aleks Rosya.

NC4

Although National won their 4th consecutive Constructor's Title during Season 12, they found their title battle much more closely contested by Octan, who had invested heavily in improving their car over the previous three seasons, and ended the season only 1 point ahead of their rival team, with 109 points to Octan's 108. However, Rosya found his second title with significantly more breathing room to De Leon compared to his first year in the car.

NC4 Wahoo
National's final title-winner, the NC4

NC5

Under a new Technical Regulation Set, the NC5 lost many of the advantages that its predecessor had over its rivals - most notably the aero structuring they had used the length of the vehicle so well to manipulate. With shorter bodies, the cars had less space to guide air in as precise ways as had been possible with the NC2, 3, and 4. This gold-coloured terror of a car ended up being National's last in the sport, as the team transitioned to being Spalding Racing from Season 14 onwards.

NC5 ayeeeee
The National NC5 performed relatively poorly, compared to their previous cars, finishing only P6 in the Constructors' Standings.
