Mille Monti 1953 [DESIGN VOTING]

Echoes of a golden age, reimagined.

Since it will be a community vote anything that impacts the visual appeal can increase or decrease your score. I believe Der Bayer said people will take it into consideration but it impacts open top cars more than others since their interiors are naturally more exposed. Also I don’t think the visual score impacts your track times so unless you are going for winning the beauty contest a simple interior should suffice. But of course this is how I interpret it. Best of luck in the competition :+1:

it was said that “spectators” will be more willing to help beautiful cars while they break rather than ugly. and according to spreadsheet - if you have time loss due to low stats - visual rating will help to negotiate time loss

Hillman Phoenix GT-6

The story of the Hillman Phoenix GT began with Fredrick Hillman’s resourcefulness and mechanical expertise. Following the end of World War II, Hillman found himself stationed in the United Kingdom, deeply immersed in the thriving British motorsports culture.
Combining the chassis and body panels from two British sports cars, along with his own custom-designed Inline 6 engine, Hillman meticulously crafted the Hillman Phoenix GT-6.

Hello, I was just wandering, the rule about no liveries mentions sponsors and racing numbers but not small details that would be period appropriate such as the name of the driver on the door, in small text under the window in case of an accident, Would adding these be allowed or are they banned under the rule?

Small driver names are ok!

The 164 is officially submitted in “Bergsteiger” spec. I focused mainly on making a car faithful to the 1950/53 time-frame and represent to the best of my ability the driving characteristics of a '50s sports car in BeamNG. Trying to stay loyal to sportscars of the period and my loathsome experience min-maxing means it likely won’t be as competitive as it’s inspirations, but I enjoyed the visual design & worldbuilding aspect of the challenge nonetheless.

The interior has seen updates bringing it to the “Bergsteiger” (Mountaineer) trim, featuring a fancy new “lightweight” material Bakelite where laminate wood would be found previously, and an updated gauge cluster with the all important engine temp in the center of your view. Other notable changes are the switch from an inline to a higher reving opposing cylinder setup to try to bring this rr car closer to a 50/50 weight split.

And of course, here is the updated car in Beam

If anything is broken let me know and i will do my best to fix it.

Best of luck to all the competitors!

After Race


As expected, the Aerowagen become very rare now, spotting one in the street is almost impossible, knowing only 2 car exist in the streets, although the car participated in many old car series, and also appearing in Goodwood, its still hard to find the Aerowagen, if you seen one, its most likely a replica, nowdays many peoples trying to make replicas and even succeeded, they cost mostly $100k, but the original one from the auction as of 2014 cost rises to $24m becoming one of the most expensive cars in the world.

Vizzuri 850 '50

Shown in Azure & Giallo two-tone nose with Naked Aluminium/Dark Tan & Dark wood interior

After the success of previous Vizzuri race cars such as the 4700 in the Potrunis Cannonball Run, Vizzuri aimed for other victories in races around the world with the Mille Monti on their list, they begun cracking away at a new design to aim for the win.

Introducing the Vizzuri 850: A lightweight aluminium bodied sports car with a race-modified aluminium head DOHC boxer 4 engine producing a perky 64hp and revving to almost to 9,000rpm. The chassis is a basic yet easy to work on ladder with a short wheelbase and double wishbone suspension all around.

The layout of the 850 is quite unique, being a longitudinal front-wheel-drive car with the engine mounted in a Front-Mid-Engine layout behind the front axle. Mounted at the front are two auxiliary lights just behind the front grille as well as a fancy twin-trumpet horn and transmission cooler. In the boot is a racing fuel tank and spare wheel with tyre for any accidental punctures or damage, but also to balance the quite front-heavy build.

The exterior envisions a very aerodynamic smooth build, with glass covers over the headlights and tape for added safety. The front and rear number plates are fixed onto the car in form and flow of the body to add to the aerodynamic quality, as well as this the door handles are a very boutique push button handle, however the front windscreen has a bug deflector mounted before it which does take away from aerodynamics a little. The single piped exhaust on the passenger side is fibreglass wrapped to alleviate the heat and mitigate warping and damage onto the bare aluminium sides.

The interior is a very fancy yet basic race-prepared sports setup, featuring bucket seats, diamond trim padding, floor mats, wooden accents and a standard AM radio. The air-conditioning unit has been removed for weight savings and sealed to help the airflow also. There is also a toolkit box wrapped in accented leather behind the seating area for any on-the-go maintenance work.

Scuderia Vizzuri are looking forward to participate in the Mille Monti hoping to pass through scrutineering!


Created in collaboration with @Est_Nbmstr who did a wonderful job on details and the interior!

Does this come with a set of slippers or is one expected to bring their own?
Because who in their right mind would get in that interior wearing outdoor footwear
Two thumbs up.

While Chesterleigh had seen some success with their 2000 saloon in other touring car races, to handle the steep ascents of the Mille Monte they needed a stronger powerplant. The answer was a 3.5 liter flat-plane V8 designed by Rodsworth, and fitted to the bare minimum of production Chesterleighs for homologation. The resulting Chesterleigh 3500 was elegant, stately, and most importantly, fast.
