Overall Summary
The year is 1946. Start your car company, roll out a seemingly boring model for the masses, and then—bam!—unleash its true potential by turning it into a fire-breathing, tire-shredding competition machine. The more you profit, the more cash you’ll have to burn rubber on the racetrack. Remember, reputation is king! The better your cars perform in competitions, the more street cred you earn, boosting your sales and carving your name into automotive history. By the end of 1990, the player with the highest reputation points takes the crown—along with some serious bragging rights.
WOSSOM blends strategy with speed, offering a challenge/mod for Automation and BeamNG.drive that brings a multiplayer campaign mode to life. It’s the perfect ride for those who love cars but prefer a laid-back, stress-free vibe—because who says you can’t have a midlife crisis and a career in motorsports at the same time?
HOW TO PLAY
It’s pretty straightforward: build your car in the Automation game following the rules for the upcoming deadline, export it as a .car file, and upload it using the submission button. Remember, factory cars must have all quality sliders set to zero. For competition cars, keep a close eye on the quality sliders—you’ll need to check how much quality you can use in the rankings table.
Not familiar with Automation or BeamNG.drive? Trust me, there’s a treasure trove of information out there. You’ll need Automation installed, and while BeamNG.drive isn’t essential for now, I’d highly recommend having it. You’ll want to make sure the Automation Exporter didn’t accidentally turn your car into an atomic bomb instead of a roadworthy machine.

Factory Car Summary
Car companies are clawing their way back from the wreckage of war. From Gasmea to Archana, every nation is eager to hit the open road again. Most of the market is betting big on family cars—it’s a safe choice, but the risk of oversaturation is real. This leaves the door open for companies bold enough to explore creative alternatives, from rugged delivery vans to sleek, luxurious sports cars. Success will depend on outmaneuvering the competition in a market that’s getting more crowded by the day. And don’t forget: looks matter! Aesthetics will be key, as they’ll be scored for a quality boost in your competition models.
Factory Car Rules Discussion
Rules discussion: Since we’ll leave the dirty work to Automation by using its own sandbox sales system calculations before applying the multipliers, I don’t see the need to get too uptight with the rules, at least till we reach the competition car submission phases. If something’s way off, Automation should penalize the sales, right?
- Model / Trim / Engine Max Year: 1946
- All Quality Slider: 0
- Techpool: Everything to +5
- Interior will not be judged.
- Minimun sales: 1*
*After all the cars are submited, a 100% margin will be added to the approximate cost calculated by Automation. That is when you need to have at least 1 car sale (also automatically calculated by Automation).
1/4 Mile Competiton Summary
Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to prove that your factory’s post-war engineering is more than just rationed tea and stale biscuits! We are cordially inviting you to participate in a Drag Race competition so thrilling, even the Queen might drop her monocle.
Now, before you rush to bolt a rocket engine onto your Aunt Mildred’s old Morris, there’s a bit of a catch: your competition car must be a trim from an approved factory car. Yes, that means it needs to share the main components with the vehicle you somehow convinced people to actually buy. No Frankenstein creations allowed—unless it was assembled with all the leftover bits from your factory’s questionable inventory!
And just to keep things interesting, you’re free to make some “creative modifications” to the bodywork. Need a few extra holes for ventilation? By all means, drill away! After all, nothing says speed like a few strategically placed gaps in the chassis.
Oh, and one more thing: don’t forget to check just how much of the quality slider you’re allowed to use on your creations.
The starting line awaits, and so does eternal glory—or at least until your engine explodes. Ta-ta, and may the best bit of wartime scrap win!
1/4 Mile Competition Car Rules Discussion
Rules:
- Quality: Different for each team. Check the rankings table to see where your company stands. You can adjust all your quality sliders up to your quality bonus. For example, if you have a 7 quality bonus, you can set all sliders up to 7. However, increasing all sliders doesn’t always lead to better performance. In some cases, like with the exhaust system, using negative quality may give better results.
- Model / Trim / Engine Max Year: 1946
- Techpool: Everything to +5
- Interior will not be judged.
- Small Bonus/Penalty Reputation Points may apply for looks
Shared components from the factory car:
- Body model
- Panel material
- Chassis type
- Engine placement
- Front Suspension
- Rear Suspension
- Engine block
- Block material
- Family Capacity (variant capacity modification is ok)
- Head and valves
- Head material
Speed Record Competition Summary
Alright, folks! Big news comin’ your way! We’ve got ourselves a Speed Record Competition, and it’s goin’ down on the Salt Lake, not in Utah—this one’s somewhere way dustier! Now, listen here—this ain’t your typical ‘run what ya brung’ event. Nope, you gotta start with a factory car base. That’s right, engineers, designers—ya can tweak, tune, and soup-up anything under the hood or body. Aero fixtures? Sure, we’ll allow some, but the car’s still gotta look recognizable. Don’t bring us a plane on wheels! We want speed, but we want style too. Let’s see who’s got the guts and the grease to hit the top!
