Are we allowed to use MPV version of a van body? I’d like to keep the side windows without having to do extensive bumper bar and patchwork work. I’m using the Hiace body.

Mpv is really just a euro term for a passenger van, it should be fine
“misc paint 1” is windows even on the full van variant of that particular body. However i can’t see the harm in allowing mpv body variants.
Does this mean the car has to have exactly 3 seats or does that mean 3 seats maximum?

This is exactly the reason why I’m asking, I want to build something like that

Yeah tbh it did originally mean just 3 seats as that’s how all the van conversions are setup in europe. But I can see that is unreasonable for pickup based vehicles so I’ll change it to “just use the front row”

This opens tomorrow and at that point I will be on an aeroplane to Spain so does anyone have any issues or questions while I can still open the game?
The rule changes that have occured in the last week are:
- Mpv bodies now allowed
- Seating arrangements are a bit more relaxed
- After discussion on discord interiors (especially the motorhome area) are now a judging criteria.
- Added a week to the deadline to make up for having to make interiors

One thought I had as starting work on a base vehicle: maybe there should be some sort of rule that the base body should be made to match the size of the final vehicle as much as possible? For example, if you’re going to cutaway most of the body, you still have to stretch the body dimensions as much as possible to match the size of whatever you put in its place. Otherwise, someone might be able to have a small vehicle, get stat bonuses for things like fuel economy and drivability, and then be able to build something large with 3D fixtures that is much larger than the base vehicle used to calculate stats.

Yeah that’s definitely a fair point. No making the car a lot bigger in 3d. I’ll add that into the actual rules.
Does anyone want to design my vehicle? I have it engineered I just don’t feel like making an interior
