Before I start about what the fuck is a kilometer, is there a specific year this is made for? 80s? 90s?
Is the two way cat required or the minimum?
Presumably this is a Beam competition too, as you’ll be driving them. What circuits?
An additional conversion to meters would be appreciated here.
Same for this (in millimeters)
And this
Most people use RON, but again, a conversion would be appreciated here too.
I like the complete random use of imperial and metric measurements. It speaks to me in a way only someone from the UK would understand
What about the Geared/Helical LSD?
So no requirement on tire width ending in 5? TRX style tires are legal?
I would like to hear your reasoning for these restrictions.
I didn’t specify max/min in order to create a more diverse and interesting grid. This season is mostly going to be experimental, so that I can figure out what works and what doesn’t. I misunderstood the compatibility between leaded fuels and cats, thanks for the feedback.
There is no specific model year for this competition, feel free to do whatever the hell you want
I’ll be driving them on Hirochi circuit, Automation test circuit, and the third one is undecided as of yet, but it’ll most likely be a tight track with few long straights or fast corners.
15 inches is 38 cm, and 13 is 33 cm.
Ride height is about 300mm, but anything around 300 will do.
93 Aki is 98 Ron
Thank you for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated!
I’ll make a change to allow a Helical LSD
There is no requirement on tire width ending in 5, the tires just have to be either equal to or within the given width. TRX-style tires are in fact legal.
I put these restrictions in place mostly to make things more interesting, but also to limit horsepower.
Lord knows what you want so here’s an “entry” to your challenge. I recommend you study it and write a whole bunch more rules so you don’t get a field of these.
2.0L V8TT - 475hp 10,000rpm
1600.6kgs, 5spd manual AWD, 0-60 in 3.4s
SRTS_-Riley-_Zephorus_Tornado.car|attachment (848.6 KB)
This is just something I had lying around, so it’s thrown together. It does however meet all of the “rules” you’ve put together.
You need to add things like
Quality limits, techpool limits, price cap, trim years you want (is this 80’s or 2020’s?)
Also, have a look at some other Beam racing challenges rulesets, for instance:
I’ll look into these, thank you.
Things like techpool limits will come during the summer season. I’m mainly using this season as a base to see what I need to add/change.
Also, submissions are sent via a download link in a DM to me. The download should be of the automation .car file, not a BeamNG export car.
The trim of the Tornado you offered us not only has +15 quality spam everywhere, but a set of DCOE carbs for its fuel system. If the SRTS were to be set in 2000 or later, for example, I’d recommend a complete ban on carburetors, to reflect the OBDII mandate that had come into effect in most markets by then. In addition, regarding quality limits, a maximum value of +3 to +5 would suffice, and a minimum value of 0 (i.e. no negative quality) could also be considered.
Well observed, lets hope the rules are written to make more sense, and narrow down what car you should actually make.
A ute can be entered into the SRTS as long it has a ladder or partial monocoque chassis.
Also, after examining the Tornado, I’m coming up with ideas about how it could (and would) look and feel like if it was built for a saner rule set, without the quality spam (and the unnecessary carburetor mandate - EFI was becoming far more commonplace during its trim year of 1992) - to use as a reference point for other entries under the new rules.
Ok I’ll definitely take that into consideration, thanks
There still isn’t any quality or price limits
I finally decided to revisit your Zephorus Tornado, took the +15 quality spam out of it, and reworked it from the ground up. However, after realizing some problems with the current revised rule set, I made it into a road-legal base model for a potential race car variant instead.
Specs:
I know it won’t be eligible as-is, or even be competitive, but it costs $20k AMU all-up. It would, however, make far more sense if the rule set were more strictly controlled; to that end, my idea for a rule set for the road car (or rather, truck) would be as follows:
The race car ruleset would be similar to the above, but with the following differences:
Those rules would best be reserved for another challenge, but I’ve provided them anyway as an example of what could be done (and used as a reference point) with a more logical approach.
Alright, thanks.
