That’s is quite serious testing facility 
Oh, those BAF guys are jealous of the facility. lolz
Puttzalong will be entering. They put a call out to a customer who had been showing some skill with modifying cars, and he agreed to participate. If either car makes a good showing in class, they marketing team will be able to spin it to the brands advantage. We have a near-stock production car (red, 2.2-3.29L), and a customer car that has had a Blue Oval engine transplant, pushing it up into the next competition class. The customer has asked to have his identity withheld until just prior to race day, and the factory team have not yet been named.
My original idea broke a few rules so, I’m mixing it up…

Hello, this is JOVA from Juggernaut Automotive.
We are car production company based in Gasmea where the roads are wide and straight.
We have had strict policy of no racing, but somehow the younger members of our company have convinced me trying this, as they claim that cars that win races will sell more.
I am not so convinced about that. as for me cheap and reliable cars are the way to go, but as we happened to have enough time and money to build couple special models we decided to participate.
How ever as we do not really know what kind of roads there are in Fruinia nobody werent really sure what kind of suspension setups or tires should be used. Therefore we went with hard long life tires, which will provide reasonable handling over gravel roads, although on the higher end cars will lose on handling on asphalt and concrete roads, also a skid plate was added to provide better protection in case the car gets high centered or bottoms out at some point.
The cars that we teliver to you are as follows.
Runabout
The entry level car, where all the unnecessary has been removed, and the engineers were told to add power as long as the engine and drivetrain stays reasonably reliable, also some small tweaks to the suspension were made.
Familyman
One of our most successful models, but as it is showing it’s age it will be discontinued shortly, as markets are demanding larger cars. it has received same treatment as Runabout did
Hurja
Our first and so far only sportscar, We removed the rear seats and most of the interior, lifted the suspension slightly to provide more groundclearance, this is the only car that had only slight engine adjustments with larger carburetors,
Kulkuri
This is our concept car, which will debute in 1953, even thuogh the design had gotten finalized allready
It will replace the familyman. althuogh the suspension setup isnt yet quite finalized. How ever the engine has debuted in our pickup trucks and has been a massive success there. This engine isnt very tunable, but we did what we could to increase it’s performance.
Kulkuri Special
This is basicly same car as Kukuri is, how ever this is the luxury version of it, how ever as the interior in the rally car is stripped the difference is pretty much non existant. The engine has been derived from our heavy truck, but it has been popular engine among hotrodders over here. but as our engineers started tweaking it it became so powerful that any of our manual gearboxes couldnt handle the torque, except one derived from out heavy truck division, and the gearing in that would have limited the top speed to 90km/h
Therefore we had to use our two speed “fuiddrive” automatic transmission, which might not be ideal solution, but unfortunately we do not have enough time or money to create new transmission.

Car No. 88
Cheap, hand built, post-war roadster designed to help veterans recover from the horrors of combat
Wentworth is entering a stock Womble to determine where it can make changes and improvements for the Mk2 model which is due in 1956. The chief designer and engineer have decided to go themselves so the raw data doesn’t have to filter through too many layers before it gets to them…
The tiny roadster has room for two and luggage and costs very little to run

well then…
gotta get going soon
Hello. The ragazzi at Corzetti-Stampatti Motori would like to request a working example of the Familyman, with intents to participate in the 1952 Corso di Fruinia. We are prepared to pay 3000 lira for both the car and factory-supplied spares, given the rash, car-breaking character of the race. We thank you in advance, and here’s hoping for a kindred partnership. Grazie!

Team Corzetti-Stampatti Motori
The riders
Driver: Bolognese Stampatti - A man with few friends and fewer patience, truly the brawn behind the operation’s brains. Little is known about this scarred man, other than the fact that his racing operation seems remarkably limited for a company with rather big funding…
Lead mechanic: Corzetti Milano - The other half of Corzetti-Stampatti (obvious naming conventions!). This young blond man oozes elegance and frailness, but he’s not your usual arrogant rich kid in his 20s. Born into a family of mechanics and racers, Corzetti dreamed of running his own team to challenge the greats. Bolognese wanted him to be the navigator but Corzetti, fearing not being able to handle the nervous driver, delegated the role to…
Navigator: W.N. - A person even younger than Corzetti? Indeed, W.N. has barely cleared the 18-year-old barrier. This American kid seems far out of place for an Italian racing team, and yet he seems to know more about cars than his frail shy self would lead you to imagine…
The steed
’50 Juggernaut Familyman CS
Despite clearly having the funds to support a much more powerful car, Corzetti-Stampatti decided instead to bank on the trustworthy but rather dated Familyman. Thanks to some clever fund usage and smooth talk by Corzetti, Juggernaut was convinced to throw in a few bits and bobs to update the Familyman to tackle the CORSO at full sing. With these updates, the car was given a CS label to celebrate the deal’s success.
Obviously the picture doesn’t represent the final car, it’s still pending approval (and matching review). But given the era, it’ll be some big numbers all over the body and boom, racer. How easy it is, designing racing liveries in the '50s! (laughs)

The Ceder Dealership of Amiens is entering a Ceder Libellule Pavillon modified by Julien Ditane who has experience in racing motor-vehicles using a lightly modified Ceder Abeille. Julien and Alain hope that the modifications to the 2.2 OHV I4 litre front wheel drive executive saloon will be allow them to keep up with the competition.
Mechannica Auto Stella Cadente - 1952 ASC 2000SS [Chiocciola] #202
Class: 1400CC-2199CC
Driver: Gian-Marc Sirignano
Navigator: Alfredo Pirone
ASC are entering the Corso Fruinia with a personally 2000SS built for Gian-Marc [the founder of the company] nicknamed the Chiocciola after it’s short rear and long bonnet. Alfredo and Gian are confident in the cars ability to perform in it’s class due to it’s light weight and high powered DOHC 2V engine. It may well be a racing chassis with a road body but that’s no disadvantage.
NOTE: I do not own Beam NG so I’m unable to test the cars but more I plan on entering more vehicles in different classes.

Somewhere in Fruinia…
Bolognese: Alright you lot, how’s the car coming along?
Mechanic: We’re just about finished with the paint, sir. But we’re still having issues with the engine…
Bolognese: For the love of God, what am I paying you schmucks for!? Get Corzetti here, on the double!
Corzetti: You do not need to shout, Bolognese. What is all this racket about? I thought your crew had good knowledge of mechanics…
Bolognese: Just a minor mishap. More importantly, why are YOU so late? I thought we’d agree a meeting at 12:00AM sharp.
Corzetti: I went to the airport. To pick up a navigator. As in YOUR navigator…?
Bolognese: Don’t give me sass, shrimp. And where is this so-important navigator you speak of? Get that homeless kid next to you to call him.
C: …this is him. Meet W.N., my American friend.
B: If this is your attempt at humour, I’m not amused. I said an experienced navigator, last time I checked. And also last time I checked, auto racing is a… man’s sport, I believe.
C: Bolognese…!
W.N.: It’s fine, Corzetti. You did say Bolognese prefers to race alone when he drives. It’s fine.
B: Alright then, at least you know your place. Let’s test your mettle. (throws a small book at W.N., who barely catches it) See if you can find the reason why our engine is down 25 hp on what Juggernaut promised for this “performance kit” of theirs. (turns to mechanic crew)
W.N.: (looks at the engine bay, peeking over a mechanic’s shoulder. He then takes a step back, checking the “Engine” section of the book) …
Mechanic: Something wrong, kid?
W.N.: This is a single barrel carburettor, isn’t it?
Mechanic: Looking cool, right? Tuned it myself. This bad boy is primed for performance!
W.N.: Then you’ll have to take it off, I’m afraid.
Mechanic: The hell!?
B: What he said. You trying to emulate your friend with bad jokes?
W: It’s no bad joke, sir. Juggernaut clearly states this engine kit has to run on a 2-barrel carb. You’ll never be able to achieve 75hp unless you change the current carb…
B: Give me that. (checks book)
…well I’ll be sandblasted. You goddamm morons! Has working under my rule taught you nothing!? Find a double-barrel carburettor, or else I’ll get my own to make you!
(a few days later)
B: Well, it’s been a messy process, but this is as ready as it can be. (places arm over Corzetti’s shoulders and neck) Your friend has not heard our little plan for this road trip, I hope.
C: He hasn’t. And this plan is all you, Bolognese. You remember I didn’t agree to this.
B: Not until I showed you all those pictures of your family I have… “laying” around. If this car doesn’t make it to the end, I’ll still have something to gain from all this. Let’s hope your little navigator knows his roads as well as he knows you… (leaves)
C: I’m so sorry, W.N… But if anyone needs to silence Bolognese, you are my best bet. (pats car on hood) Do your best, Familyman. I beg of you… (leaves)

Welcome to Bramble, we will be sending 4 cars to the Corso di Frunia. All are new – released this year or last and have undergone different stages of modification. Without further ado, lets introduce our quartet!
#93- Condo Sprint
The smallest of our entries, this little devil is perfectly designed for the cities! The Condo (no Bramble as the forename for this – it’s a one car company) is designed to get war-torn Europe moving again – what better way to market it than race it?
Usually seating 5 in a steel monocoque, the Sprint is a comprehensive upgrade for the Condo, with many upgrades. These include; Replacing all body panels with aluminium from old aircraft, better and bigger brakes and tires, and taking a very angry person to the interior to remove (Read wreak) most of it. The result is the Condo is now faster than sports cars with the same engine size.
#95- Bramble Bismuth 6
We skip #94 and move from our smallest to our largest entry –combining two of Bramble’s best designs. The sleek Bismuth body is mated to the fantastic Bramble 6FB – Six cylinders, Fully Bored – to produce the most powerful Bramble to date – 100mph is no longer the dream of hypercars! Its so fast that we had to employ some aircraft engineers to work on something called ‘Aerodynamics(?)’. That’s what they say the fins are for, and why driving this beast is not for the faint of heart! The only modifications to the Bismuth 6 is the removal of all none essential interior features.
#96 – Bramble Envoy
Ah yes, the flagship of Yorkshire luxury, the envoy is a palace on wheels usually – this one has had all the leather and wood removed, and stiffer suspension for better road holding. The smooth Bramble 6 is in standard form here, yet that doesn’t mean the Envoy is slow – in fact, it’s the fastest Bramble currently built! Painted in the most eye-catching paint scheme we could think of, the Envoy promises to be a sight to remember.
#97 – Bramble Bismuth
Last but not least is the Bismuth. Using the same boxer engine in the Condo, though heavily modified here, the Bismuth is all about control. Sleeker than its bigger brother the 6, the Bismuth can release 100% of its power 100% of the time. Using recycled aluminium panels on a spaceframe chassis, you can build a Bismuth in your back garden or shed (just remember to tell your significant other)! This model was built by Samuel Moore and Robert Chamberlain, the co-founders of Bramble. How good is their work? Only time will tell!
Whoops! Bit of an accident in testing for the Bismuth. Nothing serious thankfully!
We here at Bramble are asking you to drive one of these 4 cars! Applicants will be working in hot, potentially hazardous conditions with low pay. Success will include eternal glory and ownership of the car you drove. Failure will probably involve injury, loss of direction / sanity / limbs / all three, and possible death.

Quite a few cars and times already processed, and some outlines of the race reports already written. I might have crashed a car or two, three, maybe four - but I swear I tried my best to drive safe and fast.
I can promise some detailed aggregate data about submissions, a story involving geese and magnificent old picture material of the '52 Corso in September.
We are now halfway through the submission deadline.
