Welcome to Phase 2
Let’s go tear up some public roads
EDIT: Clarified Techpool rules, no more dipping into negative TP
Added 1.5 million to techpool, (6 - 8.5m)
I would like to start this by thanking everyone who entered in to our inaugural round, ABS-01P1 | Rising Sun Sports, we got some 10 odd entries. A slow but good start. But now that the competition is over, we can let Phase 2 begin.
We would love to see previous entrants modify their prior entry, you don’t have to, but we think it would be interesting. You will see why in the brief below.
All credit for the art goes to both @Shitsoom and whatever artists made the pieces he used. He, along with fellow ABS- competitors, also made the ruleset.

We running wild…
So, this time we decided to go for a more unorthodox theme. We will be having you make MY1998 Japanese sports cars, again, but this time with owner/tuner shop installed modifications. This means a notable performance bump, along with different visual style.
The original idea was to only let previous P1 entrants actually enter into P2, using modified versions of their previous entry. That seemed needlessly harsh, so instead we recommend you do that, but you don’t have to. Everyone is free to enter
For reference cars, check out sites and tuners like Veilside, Mugen, and Powerhouse Amuse

… and we restless
You know the drill, look thru the categories below. Your car has to meet all requirements to be accepted.
There are a few overarching rules
- Don’t use adv. trim settings to mess with the tires, width or height.
- Submit the same .car file you drive in Beam (if you choose to do that segment)
- Don’t edit the car in Beam
View Chassis Rules
The rules are roughly the same as the ones in Phase 1, so here they are.
- Set Model Year to 1998
- Wheelbase min. of 2.4m for cars
- Have some sort of corrosion protection on the chassis, galv. will do.
And that is all for that part. Pretty easy, no?

She wants to move
We opened up the ruleset from P1 in the tuner spirit, this time you have much more power potential, so get to squeezing that engine for all it’s worth
- Set year to 1998
- N/A max displacement is 3.2l
- For F/I, it is 2.2l
- Min. reliability is 65, as a tip, put techpool where you run quality (injectors and block)
- Max Loudness of 65, don’t make a machine gun
- Run 98 octane unleaded
In short, don't make a machine gun or a bomb

View budget and economy rules
Far East Movement
As for the budgets, they are up from P1 (duh), but still not bottomless
You are afforded $26000 approx. cost, we are still in the middle of the lost decade.
SVC stands at a max of $1900
You get $8.5M of techpool to play with, spend it wisely and that 26k will take you far.
Don’t go below 0 techpool in any category
Quality range is from 0 to +5
And that is that for the rules, good luck and happy building!
View the scoring method
Scoring works exactly the same way it did in P1, but we will retread that old ground again here

Looking good is half the battle
Your car will be judged by public vote released soon after the competition ends. The key to a good score is a high quality car, and equally importantly, good images of it.
The show runners will add their notes, and pick their favorites to give a little gold star to, these wont affect your final score

Barracuda
Your engineering score will be based on the stats of the car you submit. It is a simple “more is better” game. This time however, there are no engineering stat multipliers, the more the merrier.4.
OPTIONAL
Run the Touge
This part is optional, you don’t need to do this, but you should. This is a BeamNG driving part, hence why it isn’t mandatory, but a cool little treat.
Your laptime score is just based on your placement. Faster is better, keep 4 wheels in at all times. Record the laptime and upload it on Youtube, then link it to us. This places you into a second scoreboard with other Beam drivers, in addition to the main scoreboard. You can have someone else drive for you
The Track is Italy Asphalt Hillclimb 1, standing start
See instructions
Enter the Cargeon
Entering in works exactly like it did in our other challenges. You will need a few things:
-
A .car file of your entry
-
Pictures of your entry
-
Optional: a recording of your laptime
Put damn good effort into the pictures, these WILL have an impact on your style score, trust me, I speak from experience on this
To enter your car into the competition, you can send it to us in 1 of 3 ways
- Reply to the thread, simple
- PM the file to me, simple
- Enter it into our Discord server
Not hard, is it?
The deadline is 2025-06-24T21:00:00Z, you have a 1-day grace period
