Competition Theme
To create a BeamNG mod or Automation export that is in the theme of the Gambler 500 event.
What is the Gambler 500?
In the Gambler 500, entrants build cheap, shitbox cars and go out into the wilderness for a weekend of navigational challenges, camping, clean-up and camaraderie. If you’re wondering what makes a Gambler car, it’s pretty simple!
The core tenet of the event is, to have fun, be kind to one another, and leave the place you’re enjoying in a cleaner, better condition than when you arrived - all very important things indeed, and also very important to this competition as well!
