Tsukuba Touge Time Trial | AutoBeam Challenge | Finished

You’ve got the things coming…

OST: Richard Cottle “Set Me Free Again” in the backgound (yup, it’s Hot Version OST)

2012 Colere Spirale Rafale “Touge Special” by Vittess Tuning

If you think the “Rafale” is not fast enough… think again.
The Vittess Tuning lay its hand on this hot French import and tuned up to 11!

Based on Colere Spirale Rafale “Trophe” spec with specialized ECU, Air intake and customized suspension while its engine is still eligible for “Cup race” (still within factory spec)

Apart from the suspension and ECU, the rest is still carried from factory’s “Trophe” spec such as,
Trophe spec air intake, fully stripped interior (with race telemetry system), electronic LSD, and its famous turbocharged 1.6 liter engine with race spec of 270 horsepowers!

Next is the fusion between the old school mechanical and cutting edge technology.

2020 Pocono CS2300 “Trackmeister”

What on earth is the oldschool Group A touring car is showing here?

The Trackmeister showed us that the old homologation can be transformed into a sharpened sword that can still fight beautifully in a gun battle!

Pocono CS2300 was the American “M3”, with high revving 2.3 inline 4 in a light body, and had already shown the world of its capabilities on the track. Now the Trackmeister has transformed into a modern interpretation of the “Track Monster” with cutting edge technologies.

Its heart is still the same old 2.3 inline 4, now has been fully upgraded with modern ECU, direct fuel injection, direct coil ignition, race spec air intake, high flow 4-2-1 headers, and matched with the specialized “Z-TRAX” double clutch transmission.

Not only its heart that had been transformed, but also the body and suspension.
The whole body has been lightened with composite materials, aero-flared arches with the retro “Touring Car Style”, fully adjustable suspension, and “Torq-sen” limited slip differential.

1996 Kiyume Fujin KSR

When originally released in 1994, the Kiyume Fujin was a sporty looking but fairly uninspiring vehicle favoured for family transport and taxi duties. This changed two years later, however, with the release of the Fujin KSR. The KSR occupied an enthusiast niche, with a turbocharged 2.8L v6 (sticking to the gentleman’s agreement 200kw in stock form) powering the rear wheels only through a 5-speed manual gearbox.


This particular entry has been given the works by its owner, and almost every part has been upgraded or replaced (peak power now over 300kW), however besides the wide-body kit, wheels and exhaust (and obligatory oil-cooler to address one of the Fujin’s critical issues), the exterior remains fairly stock - not that the KSR was overly subtle to begin with!

My second entry - something a bit different from the same manufacturer:


2018 Kiyume click RCS

In 2018, Kiyume released the “click RCS” as their entry into the hot-hatch market. Directly competing against the VW Polo GTI, both in terms of size and performance, the click RCS found success in its home country, but was received with mixed reviews overseas due to its less polished but more engaging behavior. Unique in the segment, Kiyume made the interesting move of offering an AWD variant (manual gearbox only) which found reasonable success in both professional and amateur rally circuits; no doubt helped by the manufacturer’s official support of a number of aftermarket ‘rally-spec’ replacement parts.


This particular entry is a good example of what this vehicle is ultimately capable of. The owner has ticked every box from the Kiyume catalogue of performance parts, as well as pushed the engine to its limits. Where the original 1.5L three-cylinder powerplant was good for just shy of 144kW, this over-engineered marvel is boosted to over 250kW and has been backed up by modifications to suspension, brakes, and aerodynamics. In addition, the interior has been partially stripped in order to save roughly 100kg off the stock weight, meaning that performance gains have been magnified.

1995 TSC Thunderwolf V8 GTR

Shown here with base GT trim for reference - the actual submission only has a limited number of paints, textures, and materials available to reduce file size.

Mods include a lightweight sport interior, large 4-wheel vented disc brakes (4-piston front, 2-piston rear, aggressive aero kit (including sport undertray), close-ratio gearbox, and a highly tuned engine developing 510 bhp thanks to individual throttle bodies, billet internals, a flat-plane crankshaft, a set of high-flow intake and headers, and fully adjustable coilover suspension.

NoncopyrIghtSAN and YarilookedattoyotaS
or the Nissan 350z ZRD Tune and the Zephorus GO! RS ZRD Tune

The GO! has a 1.6L I3 Turbo producing 381hp. All this power goes through a 6 speed DCT gearbox to all wheels. The car is extremely light at 1160kgs, it should be a real pocket rocket.

The 350z has lightly modified exterior bodywork but a heavily modified engine, with a rear mount turbo and forged internals it now produces 600hp from the 3.5L V6. Full weight interior apart from the sport seats means it weighs 1511kgs, all the power means that it could be a handful on the tight course, but also a lot of fun.

Uh yeah lazy ad this time, also no interior for the Z because of beam weight pasting fixtures still doesn’t work the way I want it to.

1999 LVC LS20

The basis for the LS40 (although this one was cloned later from the original), shown here in its lightest and most extreme form - 875kg of lightweight track special pushed along by a 225bhp 2.0L I4 (effectively half of the LS40’s engine).

This car only comes with a limited number of colors, materials, and textures for a reduced file size.

2018 Mara Paragon 2.3 SE42 by N7 Garage

Boutique tuning studio N7 Garage’s take on the lightweight 2-seater (‘fo(u)r two’) variant of the Mara Paragon before the n/a 2.3 litre 4-cylinder was replaced with a t/c 1.6 litre in 2019. Optimised for touge racing with a short-ratio gearbox, among other things.

1975 Mayster Triumf 2.0

For our yellow baththub lovers - and guaranteed electronics-free (except for the ancient 8-track player still installed)…

I went for a David and Goliath approach with my entries - a heavier, more powerful FR entry alongside a less powerful (albeit much lighter) MR one. In fact, their philosophies could not be more different - if the Thunderwolf is a TVR Cerbera, then the LS20 is a Lotus Exige.

–NOTICE | Clarification–

  • There was a discrepancy in safety regulation saying the safety level must match with the model year. and not trim year. This was my mistake and I apologize for this. It’s always supposed to be trim year but for some reason I made a typo. No one pointed this out yet but @Mikonp7 has done so. (Because of a car with huge difference in model/trim year). I believe there’s only one another car affected by this mistake which I will remedied privately. Once again, I apologize for this terrible mistake.

–NOTICE | Half Way Passed–

  • 12 days since the challenge start and 12 days left for submission. Half way passed. Half way to go.
  • I have received 21 entries so far and all of them passed inspection, I also have cleared any backlog of entries without much difficulties. The result indeed is very interesting already, but with so many days to go there could still be surprises brewing.

Thank you, are the cars sent directly to you or posted here?

Please send it to me in the DM. You may have to browse the forum and like some posts first before being able to use that feature.

–NOTICE | BeamNG.drive Update 0.30–

  • Today BeamNG has been updated to 0.30. This means I have to test if there’s any difference that would effect the challenge.
  • The handling and powertrain export remain pretty much the same. Both cars exported before and after the update drives pretty much identical and the resulting times also matched.
  • One key difference is the new manual gearbox system. Shifting time is now measured by how long player push the button, if it’s too fast the synchronizer would get damage. I have tested this and can report that no car would either be disadvantaged or benefitted from this. Basically because shift time matters so very little in the grand scheme of things.
  • After Automation Ellisbury update releases. I will stay on stable branch which should be available for quite a while still. Obviously, any entries then should be made on the stable branch and not open beta.
