I would LOVE to participate in these events one day!!
Is there a date for the mext challenge?
ALR is kinda dead at the moment, but I belive that @SenseiB12 will ressurect it in undisclosed future
Not sure exactly when the next one will be, though I do have a few plans. It kind of depends on my schedule.
The President's New Wheels
Welcome to the the place for live multiplayer racing in BeamNG! This will be a competition to determine the best combination of car and driver.
To play, you will need BeamNG, The BeamMP Multiplayer Mod as well as Automation. Details on how to install mods, and links to our discord and dropbox, are in the ORIGINAL POST.
EVENT RULES
Theme
It is 1995, and with the fall of the iron curtain a few years before, goods are pouring into the former communist states from all over the world. The new, almost democratically elected president of Kolechia has decided to use the country’s newfound wealth and free trade to choose a new foreign vehicle as his presidential transport, replacing his 600CC ZAZ-1600 which was famously slow, unsafe, and uncomfortable. The country’s budget only allows an ordinary luxury vehicle, but he wants to choose the absolute best one, so he’s having some potential candidates put through a series of trials.
The Challenges
THERE WILL BE THREE CHALLENGES, Top Gear style, and you’ll be ranked on each. However, you don’t get to know exactly what the details are until race day, so you only get a short time to practice and can’t tune your car to one exact situation.
THE TEST OF COMFORT will involve driving smoothly over uneven terrain.
THE TEST OF EVASION will involve driving from one place to another while the other players try to ram you.
THE RACE will be a conventional race, on a relatively high-speed course. The usual rules apply:
Contact: No deliberately pitting, brake checking, or ramming drivers off the road.
Heats: Maximum 8 cars per heat. Number of heats depends on number of participants. I’m somewhat hoping to get the race done in one heat, but we may need a qualifying and final heat.
Appearance Poll: Qualifying will be based on appearance poll! Top qualifiers will place into new heats first- EG the 2nd best voted car will be 1st on the grid in Heat 2, then 3rd would be either 1st in Heat 3 or 2nd in Heat 1 depending on the number of heats.
Schedule: Challenge is tentatively scheduled for 2:00PM US-CST on Friday, November 12th. Cars must be submitted by noon the prior Wednesday!
Pre-Qualifier: To prevent issues with users connecting on race day, EVERYONE MUST CONNECT TO THE SERVER BEFOREHAND. The server will be up after cars are submitted. Just join any time and say hello if I’m in Discord, or take a screenshot showing you’ve connected successfully. Most race days we spend 80% of the time dealing with getting people into the server so this should save a lot of time.
Submissions
Teams: One driver per team, drivers may not double-book teams. NEW: A car may be used by multiple teams, or a designer may submit multiple cars. When submitting your car, include your Driver’s name and control type (EG Steering Wheel, Gamepad, Keyboard).
Naming: Name your Model and Engine Family “ALR12-Username” and submit the .car file to me on the forums (not discord).
Picture: (NEW) Post a picture of your car in the thread when submitting. I will use your picture (or first picture if there are multiple) for the poll!
Schedule: To be included in the poll, and to give time for pre-downloads, cars must be submitted by 12:00 Noon US-CST on Wednesday, November 10th. The race will be in the afternoon the following Friday!
Pre-Download: When the poll goes up, all the car files will be in the dropbox, linked in the OP. It is strongly recommended that you download them ahead of time instead of when trying to join the server. See the OP link for mod installation instructions in order to make them work with BeamMP or KissMP. Remember to download this and PRE QUALIFY BEFORE THE RACE by connecting to the server!

lol the survey website I always use is broken so I’m just adding a poll to the post
Race is on Friday! 2PM US-EST
Live stream link etc in the original post.
Kamaka Overlord JH50 @LS_Swapped_Rx-7
The Overlord weighs in at 1841kg, and its 4.6L VVL V8 (which is under the minimum displacement) makes 369 horsepower. The Overlord has an aluminum body, and corrosion resistant steel chassis. AWD 5 speed auto with viscous LSD. Massive 19 inch wheels with sports tires. The large body meets comfort and safety requirements with only a premium interior and standard safety features. This body apparently has collision box issues in beam, so I’m trusting Ls-swapped with a modded jbeam for this challenge.
Szepen IX97 @bilobilo
Winthorpe Stainlin Deluxe @pcmoreno
At 1624kg, this AWD sedan is powered by a 4.0L DOHC I6 making 320hp. What’s really unusual, is the engine is mounted in the back! It also features an aluminum body, and electric power steering for fuel economy, as well as hydro suspension. It has staggered tires, and despite this, the steering graph is still, uh…
Husar Boilero @Deltaz with design by @ImKaeR
Weighing in at 1400kg, this car has an aluminum body and bizarre light truck monocoque configuration. Well, I guess Mr President will have to sit up front for full safety. It’s powered by a 3.5L DOHC I6 with only 12 valves and no VVL, making 276hp, the only car in the lot under 300. AWD with viscous LSD, it has staggered tires, 225mm in the front and 205mm in the rear.
DesertEagle @stigx24536
This infringement on Israeli Military Industries’ intellectual property weighs 1401kg and is powered by a 3.5L SOHC V6, making an impressive 325 horsepower compared to its 18mpg fuel economy. AWD, aluminum body, and viscous LSD. Perfectly flat hood and trunk are composed of 3d elements.

Reschedule! I accidentally wrote EST instead of CST in the last post, and confused some people lol. Race is now:
Friday, November 19th, 2PM US-CST
That’s 8PM GMT.
Congrats to @bilobilo for winning this one! We had pretty limited attendance because of the schedule change, but it was still a lot of fun. I hope to have the video out soon.

The Fruinian Job
Welcome to the the place for live multiplayer racing in BeamNG! This will be a competition to determine the best combination of car and driver.
To play, you will need BeamNG, The BeamMP Multiplayer Mod as well as Automation. Details on how to install mods, and links to our discord and dropbox, are in the ORIGINAL POST.
EVENT RULES
Theme
It is 1967, and your ragtag gang of criminals is ready. This is it: the big one. The heist that will set you up for life. You’ve got the perfect crew, the perfect plan, and the perfect target- a hidden cache of fascist gold. Exactly a ton of it, if your informant is correct.
The only thing you’re missing is the perfect getaway car. It’ll need to be compact enough to get inside the building, robust enough to carry the gold, fast enough to escape the police, and being able to jump off a ramp and stick the landing is probably good too.
You can’t afford a supercar like an Aston Martin, but you’ve got a mechanic who can hot-rod anything. It’s time to customize a car for the job. You’d better build a good one, or else you’ll spend the rest of your life in prison… or worse.
The Challenges
THERE WILL BE THREE CHALLENGES, Top Gear style, and you’ll be ranked on each. However, you don’t get to know exactly what the details are until race day, so you only get a short time to practice and can’t tune your car to one exact situation.
THE OBSTACLE COURSE will iinvolve at least a jump, and maybe some other things I can think up.
THE CAR CHASE will involve driving from one place to another while the other players take the role of police and try to ram you.
THE RACE will be a conventional race, on a relatively tight course. The usual rules apply:
Contact: No deliberately pitting, brake checking, or ramming drivers off the road.
Heats: Maximum 8 cars per heat. Number of heats depends on number of participants. I’m somewhat hoping to get the race done in one heat, but we may need a qualifying and final heat.

Tips
-Expected performance: About 0.80-0.86 cornering G, 110-170hp
-The best suspension type for max load is Solid Axle Leaf, the second best is Double Wishbone. Don’t bother with Solid Axle Coil, is has horrible load performance for some reason.
-You might have to do some mixed-surface driving. In Automation BeamNG cars, Sports (or slick if they’re allowed) tires are actually best for everything including dirt, so just put them on and don’t worry about it.
-There’s no track to practice, but learn your braking distance
-DO NOT FORGET TO PRE-QUALIFY!!! I will bring the server up all day Thursday!
-Do not forget to post a picture of your car. You can post multiple if you want.

COUNTDOWN TO SUBMISSION DEADLINE: DON’T BE LATE
Schedule US-CST Time:
Submit cars: WEDNESDAY December 8th, 12:00
Race: FRIDAY December 10th, 14:00
Could a revision to the max. cost be made? I’m struggling to get under 16k without min maxing. But, that could just be me being bad. Also the mpg, maybe start it an mpg lower.
Updates and corrections so far:
Using BeamMP, since that’s actually what worked well last time
Fuel type is Super Leaded, not Premium Unleaded (of course)
To clarify, there is no minimum weight.
Max wheelbase: 2.7m
Cars should be named ALR13-Username instead of ALR12 (of course)
You probably just need a little help with engine tuning. I’m making 16mpg and 140hp in a 1000kg test car. I still might ask in discord a little bit how people feel about relaxing the gas mileage requirement to make some pushrod engines a little more viable though.
As for the budget, it’s staying where it is. As it stands now, it should be extremely difficult to get an aluminum body with the requirements, but going to 16k or 17k might mean we’re seeing aluminum cars, and with few compromises made elsewhere.
Video from the previous ALR is out!
