[SIDE QUEST] The Big Balls Run ('84 Edition) AUTOBEAM

Its not the bolide mod. Im almost sure that its actually the 308 body, but i dont know ferraris that well.

EDIT: Sorry, i misread. My fault, sorry!


Also, @ChemaTheMexican the car is good for BB. Good luck!

Tight, and yeah, its the 308 modified to look like a 288

Corrrction: IIRC it was the Zephorus GTS that used the Bolide mod body and not the 208.

Also: @Riley you seem to be using a single throttle body with a compact intake configuration - is this for budget reasons? At any rate such a setup is not as powerful as a standard mid intake with one or two throttle bodies, but it’s quieter and hence more comfortable.

@abg7 I would like to of thought it was for size reasons, originally the car coming with a V8, sticking a v12 in there means considerably less room. I don’t think it made too much difference to the whole thing, and as engineering wasn’t being judged.
It is indeed still a full fat racecar, it has premium interior and entertainment, progressive suspension and a quiet ish engine correct.

My logic behind that was beam tends to handle heavier cars slightly better, so at around 1200kgs it’ll be easier to handle than something around 1050

I’m surprised that so little “luxury” cars have entered. Makes sense though.

My first reaction to the Lynx was “Jag XJ on steroids, courtesy of Lister”. At any rate, if it were black, it would be a nice choice for an action film villain. From the looks of it, you used the long-wheelbase (~3.1m) version of the 70s luxury sedan body. And given its power output and more aggressive styling, it looks and feels like a Big Balls entrant, albeit one that’s more luxurious than the supercars that dominate the class.

BB - CRAIG MOTORS - PROTOTYPE 84


Tuning by Laci, design by me.

NOTE: Yes, it has 1 seat. mechanically it has 2 though. To make up for it i put a bed next to the driver seat.

Hey, I won’t complain. Fitting two people in the Sidekicker would be a real pain (Thank you, Automation, for your massive chassis wheel cutouts) but I wanted to put two seats in the car, even if it’s more like a 1+1 in that respect. I mean, it’s not like the cabin’s going to be pleasant anyway with a giant V12 sitting next to you.

This time its my own fault. I accidentally made the doors way too thick (for fuel i guess) and had no space left for another full seat.

I’ve made some tests for all categories, I just don’t like doing styling so we’ll see if I enter any

I can send you a .car today or tomorrow once I test it in Beam so we can figure something out

Sure, i’ll have to think about it though. I need something that’s well tuned though, so do your best on that.

BB: The Lupa 585-8, a 585hp Group C homologation widowmaker.
(similar to the prototype 84, mechanically it has 2 seats, but due to a small cabin it visually has only one.)

this thing barely fits within the rules, literally just at or under the limits
