1991 Great Archanean Trek [FINAL RESULTS]

Community Challenges & Competitions
1

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 you’re not comfortable with an 80s design, go for an earlier one and put in a newer engine - for the buggies it’s 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 “000” 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 don’t 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).
  • Don’t 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:

Please introcude your car(s) below. Indicate brand and home country of the brand. A driver and codriver, and their nationality, have to be named. Lore is encouraged.

So I made a model lineup for the Bauer company up to 1985 (so far) so once I catch up to the 90’s and post a metric shit-ton of lore I look forward to adding my new BMW rip-off company to the mix!! :joy::joy:

Not sure if I’ve got anything ready for this, but… I might try to come up with something. 1980’s design is what I’m good with, on a visual scale, but I don’t actually have any current 70’s to 90’s Sinistra coupes that aren’t the Sunbolt, and I’m not going to try this with a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive sport coupe.

Does the Pontiac Trans Sport body counts as a van? :Thonk:

can you give me a more detailed definition of “offroad bodies”?

7

How are you going to make reliability a fair score without having any ET or PU limits surely everyone will go for max quality spam?

Edit: also could you define what is an off-road vehicle body because a wide range of cars entered the Paris Dakar and weren’t necessarily off-road vehicles but wouldn’t have fitted into the buggy category

if everyone spams then it is even again :LENNYTHINK:

If you can make it look like truckish and get it over the weight limit, yes.

Jeeps. Offroaders. There aren’t any SUV bodies this early. So not Vans, Sedans, Coupes, Sport cars. I struggle to find a case where it’s doubtful.

It’s part of my challenges that people are quite free. There is the service cost part, which counters this. Power/speed is IMO not the way to go. And many other quality spam has limited relevance in Beam. I will make a disclaimer in the rules to cover myself here, and allow me to bounce back any submission over the top on this front.

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.

I know they are not buggies in the actual Paris-Dakar. But a tubular chassis with fiber glass body of a hatchback or sedan, e.g. Peugeot 205 or 405 Dakar, would fall under buggies for the purpose of this challenge.

10

Any limits on price, PU and ET? If not, why not?

11

is there any price limit?

12

I kind of answered that in the previous post. The question is more, why yes?

There are advantages to low service costs though.

Any limits are those within what is reasonable and realistic. I will discuss submissions with the user if I deem them unreasonable, and will always motivate why I think so in that particular case.

The challenge is to not go overboard despite the no limits. Based on testing, I cannot see anything gained by building a ridiculously expensive or complicated car.

13

Out of curiosity, which wheels were driving?

14

Oh, just an old export of one of my cars, actually one that I made based on the 1966 Great Archanean Trek, a 1965 PMI KG Baja. 4x4 chassis adaptation.

Might have to try something crazy with the new cab-over designs… But even if it may be a Sinistra, I will be adapting 4x4… At least, I think I will. It’s not quite against lore, just very… unusual. Of course, I could just stuff a V6 in there and spin the front tires, but I don’t think that’d make it very far.

16

@Private_Miros
are you gonna drive them in beam or will you do this challenge via Spreadsheeting?

17

As usual, Beam for the base times. But with spreadsheet modifiers.

18

Now, will extra tires, jerrycans, etc. account for anything?

It’s a desert endurance race. I would prepare for one.

In my testing I have noticed that I get a small amount of wheel clipping through body when landing hard in beam, will this be ok?
