Welcome to the 25th edition of the Great Archanian Trek
The great Archanian Trek is an offroad endurance rally open to amateur and professional drivers. The terrain is tough but not unpassable. Rather than speed, durability and drivability will play a serious role in who finishes in the least time. There are three classes to compete in: buggy, offroad, and truck.
Concept
This competition is simulation a Paris-Dakar style event. You will need a sturdy, big wheeled vehicle. Stages will be communicated only after the deadline, with a nice aimpoint is that it should be able to perform something (if not fully complete, this will not be one of the stages), the rock crawling of the BeamNG route East Coast USA - Off-Road Trial 1.
Scoring
The following elements will determine the outcome:
- stage time
- reliability (engine+trim)
- low service costs
- fuel consumption
General rules
- All working workshop mods allowed
- Car and engine trim at the latest 1991
- All vehicles must run Regular 91 RON Fuel
- All vehicles have a maximum rim diameter of 15"
- All vehicles must be equipped with Offroad Tires
- All vehicles must have an Offroad Skidtray
- All vehicles must have at least 2 proper seats
- Vehicles must be road legal (headlights, taillights, indicators front and rear and at least one set on the side, at least one reverse light, licence plate at the least on the rear)
- Vehicles must be realistic in design (if youâre not comfortable with an 80s design, go for an earlier one and put in a newer engine - for the buggies itâs just the shell, so the whole car can be 1991 here but styled 50s) - also make sure the wheels are not clipping the body.
- Part of that realistic vehicle part includes the prohibition of quality spam with the singular aim to greatly increase reliability or fuel economy. In general, though, you are free to adapt the quality sliders. Keep in mind though, that I keep the right here to ask you to modify your submission on a motivated but discretionary basis.
- You can enter up to 4 vehicles (2 different buggies, 1 offroader, 1 truck)
- A racing number will be allocated to you upon entry, in order of entry, but you can indicate on your car where you want your number(s) by placing â000â on the vehicle as placeholder
Additional Class Specific Rules
Buggies
- Only car bodies with less than four doors
- Panel Material must be Fiber Glass
- Chassis must be Space Frame
- Gearbox must be Manual
- Must have 2 sport seats and no entertainment
- Cannot have Power Steering, Traction Aids or Safety
Offroad
- Only Offroad type car bodies with less than four doors
- Panel Material cannot be Fiber Glass
- Chassis cannot be Space Frame
- Weight must be under 1500kg
Trucks
- Only Offroad, Pickup, and Van type car bodies
- Panel Material cannot be Fiber Glass
- Chassis cannot be Space Frame
- Weight must be over 1500kg
Some tips:
- Read the rules carefully and double-check.
- Up the diameter of your tires as much as you can without clipping the body.
- Lift the suspension but not too high, and donât combine it with a setting that is too soft. A car that bottoms on the rear or front when accelerating or braking is useless.
- Keep the gear ratio low; ignore prompts from Automation about this, including things like wheel spin. At no point the cars will be going much over 120 kph (80mph).
- Donât overdo it on the power front, usable low end power is more important. Among other cars, I tested all tracks with a dinky little 1965 1.1 liter 55 horsepower car. It did not lose much time to the big power houses.
To Compete:
