Update Speculation thread

It is actually my favorite.

 

Personally I'm torn between wanting that style pick up or a Jeep scrambler style. It would be nice to see a "lifestyle" pickup since the Pigeon is already a utilitarian pickup. Why not both I guess?.. Speaking of which, I've seen extremely short wheel base Wrangler conversions with pickup beds for airport use. While an airport tug would be useless for official content, I'm sure there would be fun to be had with something like that.

A LWB 2 door would be great to see. I'm not really convinced a 4-door would be particularly attractive though... Pre-JK 4 door Wrangler conversions tend to be hideous; the older Jeep styling just didn't lend itself to that. Maybe if it gets more British/Japanese influence it could pull it off.

Of course I always love to see misc. accessories; the ommission of a sport roll bar really annoys me for example. More engines (factory and aftermarket) would be great; this is another one that really needs a diesel. An axle swap for a budget alternative to the super Hopper would be a dream come true, especially paired with floater tires. 4WS and a hurtz dig transfer case would be a unique addition to the super Hopper.

And of course a face lift. Not much to say here...

 

I also want the flatbed option on the Pigeon.

 

Well I'm talking about the Primera's specific BTCC version, but if the Primera was FWD from the factory then the likelihood of the touring car Pessima being RWD seems higher.

 

damn, you are right, the btcc version was actually rwd

 

Some conflicting information here.
https://www.supercars.net/blog/1992-nissan-primera-btcc/ suggests that the car was RWD
https://www.ultimatecarpage.com/spec/396/Nissan-Primera-GT-BTCC.html suggests it was FWD
https://www.g20.net/threads/btcc-primera-99-specs-i-found.3111/ suggests FWD

Given that the base car is FWD, and no RWD floorpan was available, except for the AWD versions... Japan only naturally, I think that whichever source is mentioning RWD is mistaken.

I used to own two Primeras and was involved in a couple of owners clubs, no mention of a RWD Primera ever existing, touring car guise or otherwise.

 

Nah Fast Wheel Drive is the best wheel drive.

 

The logic of open differentials lol

 

All heil torque steer!

 

The BTCC Primeras were FWD. The only RWD Super Toring cars were BMWs

 

Yes, this is actually true. That site stating that it's RWD is the only one i could find stating that. So it's FWD.

Now imagine the devs took the drivetrain info from that site and the BTCC variant is RWD. Would be SO funny!

 

I don't think it will be RWD because RWD with a transversely front-mounted engine makes the rear end very light and prone to oversteer, with the ESC trying to cut power all the time but ending up cutting speed instead. Plus such a drivetrain, although very fun to drive, is also very dangerous on public roads due to its behavioral waywardness.
Serious race cars prioritize performance over fun for the sake of fun, so I think such a configuration can only be useful for FWD cars entering drift competitions.
Also, you need a very aggressive aero kit to hold the tail glued to the road and even this wouldn't be enough to make it fast.

 

even if the "BTCC" cars dont have it, doesn't mean we wont get RWD, we might get a drift config like the sunburst or the other pessima

 

We definitely will get it for the 'new' Pessima as well, but not for the BTCC config, wouldn't make any sense. The only logical assumption I'll make for the BTCC config is that it will be AWD.

 

27s would get you high-centered on a pebble!

 

Anyone got the link to look at the state of the current builds?

thanks for that.
Blah blah qa latest updated 23 hours ago, the Creator program build was updated 15 days ago. Guessing the creator build is like a private beta or something. a great way to gauge an idea for small updates before release or future patches after the update. At least I think that's what it's used for. Obviously, the participants have to keep their pie holes shut unless they want to end up in wheelchairs.

 

Yep, creator program members will get the new content earlier to be able to make videos and upload them as soon as update releases but it won't be more than a week before us so this update 15 days ago is random and i don't think they have the new stuff yet
