If you really believe in what you have built then vote for it , if not vote for someone else , I've done both , I don't mind being beaten by a better car and often agree with the result ! A lot of it comes down to taste not quality and if everybody shared the same taste it would be a dull world !
I look for originality , man hours and a big thing for me is if its ready to run not just a roller , its so much harder in my opinion to make a fully loaded car look tidy and special .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

I barely clinched a win from voting for myself once.

Usually I don’t stand a chance and vote for the othe car I like best. Even though I clearly know mine is the best :lol:

That's one thing I've been curious about how entrants vote, personally I've never voted for my own car, it seems a bit unsporting for me. I always vote for the car I'd like to own and generally prefer cars that are fully kitted out with electronics.

Its a tough call on your honesty for sure , for me I know I've not voted for four of my entry's , I've also been surprised by what won quite a few times , its all taste , personally I know little about Nitro cars or 1/12 pan cars so if I vote for one its because it just catches my eye not for any more technically infirmed reason and I guess very few of us have been involved with all of the classes that the build comp covers so we all must be doing roughly the same thing .

I prefer fully kitted running condition too, with apologies to anyone who's spent days painting body shells. Just a bit of fun though ain't it?

Hey just had an idea for the new Year. Make a 2021 calendar printed for the twelve 2020 winners. Cover would feature car of the year. Funds could go to this site.

I know Shutterfly is an option.
