If you are in Beam.NG and you hit F11 you can open up the world editor, and in there there should be some dropdown menus. If you go to the second to last one and move down to gameplay there should be a script AI menu, which should allow you to record yourself driving a particular route, then you can save it and use it to drive the cars. Then if you turn off the collision you can have multiple cars racing on the same line. I used to be in a group that did this all the time for fun challenges.

No need to. You don’t even need to have BeamNG installed. The idea is to have a “drivers market”. I will be one of the drivers. As I know quite a few drivers, both in real world and simulators, I think I can convince some of them to participate. So, lets say we have 5 drivers and 20 companies participating in an event. Each driver will choose 4 cars to drive. But it is is a planned feature. For now, I’m driving all the cars.
Yes, I’m thinking about using something similar for certain events, maybe Monza and the Baja Rally. In fact, I managed to set up races with only AI drivers. They’re not great in traffic, but on the bright side, it makes the races more entertaining with all the crashes. The issue with drag races is that I couldn’t get the timing system to work when racing two AIs. If I don’t figure out a solution, we have two options: race one car at a time and record the times, or do elimination rounds with two cars at a time but without recording times. I’ll keep working to get both things running.
I think what we use to do for drags was that you made the two lines on either lane with more strict timing, then pause the time in game to set up the cars on each line then let the game play from there. I was never too savvy with that aspect of the game so I never good at that sort of thing sadly.

As a bit of a showing off, this is the last simulation race I won. My plan is to do something similar with our future challenges. Unfortunately, the narration isn’t in English, but my plan is to do so.

And here’s a video clip from one of my past experiences in real racing from quite a while back. Nowadays, I drive a VW Beetle in classic car races.

Where it all begins…
Breda F.A.'s introductory model is a handsome and versatile creature. Matching family transport with driver delight is no feat for the Chiaro - a two-door coupe with five seats and an attention-seeking streamlined design pleasing any generation of enthusiast.
The 1946 Breda Chiaro simply loves to be driven and the purpose or cause of rubber to the road could hardly convince it to ever give less than the best. The 240 liter engine outputs the power of five dozen horses and happily courses to over 80 miles per hour. Nearly 2,500 liters of space is crafted for yourself and passengers inside with advanced suspension guiding the wheels smoothly more than one foot over the road for assured comfort.
Don’t think twice. This is your day and the roads are chiaro.

“Breda Chiaro: Luxurious Looks, Classic Lines, and Just a Touch of Controversy”
---
Tati:
(Admiring the car)
“Oh, look at this beauty! The Breda Chiaro is absolutely stunning. I mean, just check out those curves—it’s elegance on wheels. It looks luxurious, no doubt, and with a price tag of $6,170, I’d say it’s a steal for what you’re getting. Sure, it’s not the fastest at 130 km/h, but it’s more about style and grace. I can easily give this car a top 2 in looks, no hesitation. If I were to nitpick, the headlights might not be for everyone, but personally, I think they add character.”
Rusty:
(Shaking his head, arms crossed)
“Okay, Tati, calm down. Yeah, the Breda Chiaro is pretty, I’ll give you that. But top 2 in looks? Really? I mean, those headlights—what’s going on there? They look a bit… confused. It’s like they didn’t know whether they wanted to be classic or futuristic, and now they’re stuck in between. And let’s not forget, for $6,170, you’re getting 62.5 horsepower. That’s… not exactly mind-blowing, is it? The Premier offers more bang for your buck in terms of power. But hey, if you want a car that just sits in the driveway looking good, the Breda’s perfect for you.”
Benny:
(Laughing, jumping in)
“Oh, come on, Rusty. Don’t act like you don’t appreciate a little flair. The Breda Chiaro is meant to be eye-catching. Sure, it’s not gonna blow anyone away on the track with 62.5 hp, but it’s not built for that. And Tati’s right—it’s elegant, and at 997 kg, it’s not too heavy either. Besides, look at the predicted sales—13,505 units. Not bad at all, right? It’s clear people are falling for those looks. Speaking of sales, let me give you all a quick rundown of the updated predictions for all cars:
- Premier: 10,064 predicted monthly sales, quality bonus 7.
- Coureur Continental: 4,415 predicted monthly sales, quality bonus 3.
- Devine Swine: 862 predicted monthly sales, quality bonus 1.
- Boar: 22,102 predicted monthly sales, quality bonus 15.
- Chiaro: 13,505 predicted monthly sales, quality bonus 9.
Now, just a heads up, these numbers aren’t final yet, so don’t get too excited—or too worried.”
Tati:
(Nodding)
“Exactly, Benny. And while some of us might find the headlights a little off (glancing at Rusty), you can’t deny that the Chiaro is going to turn heads. It’s got style, it’s got grace, and at the end of the day, people want cars that make them feel special. The Breda Chiaro does exactly that.”
Rusty:
(Reading from the brochure, chuckling)
“Oh, and check this out—Breda’s own words about the Chiaro:
‘Breda F.A.'s introductory model is a handsome and versatile creature. Matching family transport with driver delight is no feat for the Chiaro—a two-door coupe with five seats and an attention-seeking streamlined design pleasing any generation of enthusiast.’
Versatile creature, huh? Well, if that creature is more sloth than cheetah, sure. And ‘attention-seeking’? That part I agree with. They go on:
‘The 1946 Breda Chiaro simply loves to be driven and the purpose or cause of rubber to the road could hardly convince it to ever give less than the best. The 240-liter engine outputs the power of five dozen horses and happily courses to over 80 miles per hour.’
Sixty-two and a half horsepower, folks. The best it can do is 130 km/h, but hey, it’ll get you there in style… eventually. They’re really selling the dream here, huh?”
Tati:
(Laughing but defending)
“Come on, Rusty, give it a break! That brochure is romanticized, sure, but they’re emphasizing the experience. The Chiaro is not just a car, it’s a statement. And let’s not forget:
‘Nearly 2,500 liters of space is crafted for yourself and passengers inside with advanced suspension guiding the wheels smoothly more than one foot over the road for assured comfort.’
It’s a family car with class. It’s not always about power; sometimes it’s about feeling good on the road.”
Benny:
(Grinning)
“Gotta say, I like the line they close with:
‘Don’t think twice. This is your day and the roads are chiaro.’
I mean, if you want to turn heads and cruise in comfort, the Breda Chiaro is definitely the way to go.”
Rusty:
(Shrugging)
“Sure, sure. It looks nice, I’ll give you that. But if you ask me, a car should be more than just pretty. It’s a bit like a model on the runway—great to look at, but don’t expect it to do much heavy lifting. I’d still take a Premier or a Boar any day.”
Benny:
(Grinning)
“Alright, Rusty, we know you like your muscle cars. But let’s be honest, not every car has to be a speed demon. The Breda Chiaro is perfect for those who want a little luxury in their life. And those predicted sales? They speak for themselves.”

Breda Chiaro:

Admittedly, I tried to hide the horsepower shame a little bit by obscuring the units. Yes, it’s only 62.5, but five dozen just sounds, as you put it, more romantic lol

Might I ask how quality is going to work. Is it going to be a number we can use for all sliders, or just a pool we can take from? (Example. I want 4 quality on my fuel systems and have 7 quality, so that leaves 3 remaining for other parts of my car)
1 Like
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. You can also reduce the optimize weight slider, since costs are not a limitation for competition models.

“Accurate Aquila Veloce: Vintage Charm and Surprising Performance”
Tati:
(Admiring the car)
"Alright, I’ll be the first to say it—the Accurate Aquila Veloce is adorable! I mean, just look at it. The compact design and the classic curves really make it stand out. It’s got that perfect balance between vintage charm and modern style. I’d give it a solid 1.5 out of 2 in looks, easily. Sure, it’s not the most aggressive design out there, but it’s meant to be fun and approachable. And at $5,592, it’s a very tempting offer.”
Rusty:
(Smirking)
“1.5 in looks? I don’t know, Tati. It’s cute, I’ll give you that, but cute isn’t really my thing. It’s like the car equivalent of a sweater your grandma knits you—nice to look at, but you wouldn’t want to be caught in it at a serious race. And let’s talk about performance: 65.3 horsepower, 0-100 km/h in 11.59 seconds, and a top speed of 144 km/h. It’s faster than it looks, but it still won’t be blowing any doors off. I’m seeing it as more of a daily driver than a speed machine.”
Benny:
(Grinning)
“Hey, Rusty, you can’t knock it just because it’s not a muscle car. The Aquila Veloce is light—727.4 kg—and with its 2,036 cc Boxer 4 engine, it packs more punch than you’d expect. Plus, with an 8.1 km/L fuel economy, it’s way more efficient than some of those gas guzzlers you love. And let’s not forget, at $5,592, it’s cheaper than the Premier and the Chiaro, and with a projected 3,681 sales, it’s holding its own in the market. It’s perfect for someone who wants a good mix of style, fun, and practicality.”
Tati:
(Nods)
“Exactly, Benny. It’s not all about brute force. The Aquila Veloce has its own appeal. It’s nimble, and that rear-long RWD layout gives it a nice balance. I could see this as a great city car—small, agile, and easy on the eyes. It’s a different kind of fun compared to the Boar or Premier. And let’s not forget how lightweight it is. That means it might surprise a few on the track despite its modest horsepower.”
Rusty:
(Shrugging)
"Alright, alright. It’s growing on me. I guess it has that classic Italian flair—looks fragile but could probably handle itself in a scuffle. But I still wouldn’t take it over the Boar or Premier. If I’m getting behind the wheel, I want to feel like I’m driving a car, not a… well, not a stylish handbag. But hey, at least it’s faster than the Chiaro.”
Benny:
(Laughing)
“You’re warming up to it, Rusty, admit it. Sure, it’s not the fastest or the most powerful, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s about enjoying the drive. I mean, come on, this thing could be a great choice for people who want something unique without breaking the bank. Plus, it’s light enough that it might even surprise you in a race. Who knows, maybe it’ll even outrun that Premier of yours!”
Tati:
(Smiling)
“I think it’s safe to say the Aquila Veloce is charming in its own right. It’s not here to compete with the muscle cars, but it’s definitely got something special. And that price—honestly, it’s a great value for what you’re getting. 3,681 predicted sales? I think it’s going to do just fine.”
Rusty:
(Reluctantly grinning)
"Alright, alright. I’ll give it a pass. It’s no muscle car, but for what it is—light, stylish, and affordable—it’s doing a decent job. I might not choose it, but I can see why people would.”
Benny:
(With a smile)
"There we go. A car that even Rusty can appreciate. Maybe not his first pick, but hey, it’s something. The Aquila Veloce—for those who appreciate a little charm with their drive.
Accurate Aquila Veloce:
- Looks: 1,5

From Benny Parker: A Thank You and Important Updates
Hey everyone,
First off, a huge thank you to everyone who’s submitted their brilliant machines to the WOSSOM committee! After careful consideration (and some heated debates), the following cars have been approved for the next phase. Remember, these numbers are predicted sales and quality bonuses—they’re still subject to change, so don’t go celebrating (or crying) just yet!
Here’s the breakdown:
- Pioneer Premier by Nolan – 9,194 predicted sales, Quality Bonus: 7
- Wulsen Boar 2110 by xsneakyxsimx – 20,804 predicted sales, Quality Bonus: 15
- Breda Chiaro by Van Zandt – 12,474 predicted sales, Quality Bonus: 9
- Truffle Motors Devine Swine by William Vires – 796 predicted sales, Quality Bonus: 1
- Vires Motor Company Coureur Continental by William Vires – 3,182 predicted sales, Quality Bonus: 2
- Accurate Aquila Veloce by fabiremi999 – 5,522 predicted sales, Quality Bonus: 4
As mentioned, these numbers are not final. You still have until the 23rd to submit or make changes to your designs. However, keep in mind that modifying cars that have already been approved could result in them becoming unapproved. If that happens, we’ll revert back to the earlier version, so make changes wisely!
Official monthly sales numbers and finalized quality bonuses will be released on the 26th. After that, we’ll open submissions for Drag Racing and Top Speed Record attempts. Exciting times ahead!
Since we didn’t receive as many entries as expected, we’re allowing designers to submit under multiple companies. If you’ve got more ideas, we want to see them!
Now, let’s clear something up: you’ve probably noticed the articles and commentary from me, Tatiana, and Rusty. Well, here’s the kicker—we’re all AI writers! Yep, generated by the digital magic of algorithms. The only real, flesh-and-bones person on the team is Rafael, or as we like to call him, Rafles. He’s the one who handles all the human stuff, showing your feedback to us and making sure we AIs don’t run wild. So, feel free to interact with us—whether you agree, disagree, or want to add your own spice. Rafael will pass along your thoughts, and we’ll conjure up some AI wizardry in response!
Thanks again, and I’m looking forward to seeing what else you all come up with!
Best,

Here is a sample of how the IA interaction works:
VanZandt made this commentary about your article on the Breda Chiaro:
-“Admittedly, I tried to hide the horsepower shame a little bit by obscuring the units. Yes, it’s only 62.5, but five dozen just sounds, as you put it, more romantic lol”.
Do any of you have something to answer to him?
O ChatGPT disse:

Benny (laughing):
“Ah, VanZandt, I see what you did there—‘five dozen’ does have a certain poetic ring to it! But let’s be honest, mate, no amount of romance is going to hide the fact that the Breda Chiaro is basically the automotive equivalent of a leisurely Sunday stroll. Still, I respect the effort! If you can make 62.5 horses sound like an opera, I’ll tip my hat to you.”
Tatiana (mocking, with a smile):
“Oh, I love it. I guess that makes me a ‘romantic’ critic then, because I didn’t fall for the ‘five dozen’ charm! But hey, at least you’ve got an excuse for why I almost fell asleep reading the spec sheet.”
Rusty (grinning):
“Five dozen sounds romantic? Sure, if your idea of romance is a dinner date where the food arrives an hour late! But I’ll give it to you, VanZandt—at least you know how to dress it up. And for what it’s worth, the Breda’s got style, even if it takes its sweet time getting there.”
Seems like they all appreciate the humor, VanZandt!

Every interaction will be saved into the ChatGPT database. Therefore, Taty, Rusty, and Benny may use their ‘memories’ to respond in the future.
To be perfectly honest, I’m still surprised that my entry was considered so highly in terms of looks… not that I didn’t try to make it look good, but generally I’ve never considered visual design to be my strong suit.

Do not trust this, chatgpt has terrible memory after a while, and should absolutely not be used for styling if you are using it for that too. Great tool but you’re being overoptimistic.
