WIP BSCRA Stock Car (Lore-friendly NASCAR Stock Car)

Hello everyone... again!

Many of you guys enjoyed my previous mod, the Gen 6 NASCAR Stock Car. I am happy to present my brand new project, a BeamNG.Drive lore-friendly Gen 7 NASCAR Stock Car!

Although it is based on the IRL Gen 7, there are numerous key differences.
- The frame is slightly different, notably the rear clip.
- It will use a live axle rear suspension instead of the independent suspension on the IRL Gen 7, which causes the rear clip to look much different.
- It uses BeamNG lore-friendly body models. Sorry! No Toyota, Chevrolet, or Ford bodies. I will explain the models we have below.

Now, onto the main features:

Realistic model and JBeam:
- The chassis model in this mod is made fully from scratch by @powiephenom (full credits below!). It is custom-built for this mod, and he will be working on other aspects of the model and textures to make it as realistic as possible.
- The JBeam is fully scratch-made by me, in order to provide the most realistic experience possible. The chassis will be able to split into 3 sections, much like the Civetta Bolide JBeam.

Unique body models (not made yet):
- Body models will be made from scratch by @Subarishi_Motors (again, full credits below). The models will include:
- Bruckell Contender (Dodge Challenger)
- Facelift Hirochi Sunburst (design by @Theo Wilkinson, we have permission to use the design) (Sort of a Toyota Supra)
- Gavril [name pending] (Chevrolet SS, much like the one used in the early Gen 6 NASCAR era)

FAQ:

Q: What does BSCRA stand for?
A: It stands for: "BeamNG Stock Car Racing Association"

Q: When is the release date?
A: There is no planned date, it will release when it's ready.

Q: Will this conflict with any other mods?
A: Not unless other mod creators decide to do the exact same thing. The file name is loregen7, which shouldn't cause any issues.

Q: Will you make a real Gen 7 NASCAR Stock Car in the future?
A: Most likely. It is on the list of mods we want to do in the future, but I wanted to make a lore-friendly version first. Plus, doing this version first means we will have more practice for the IRL one, which will make it even better.

Q: You keep mentioning a "we". Who else is working on this with you?
A: Ah, I forgot to introduce the team! Here they are!

Meet the team:
@Solarpower07 (me): JBeam, concepts, some lore, and some texturing
@powiephenom: Chassis, powertrain, and interior: modeling and texturing; configs, tuning, realism adjustments (lots of adjustments)
@Subarishi_Motors: Body models, some misc models, ideas, a bit of lore naming, and design
The paint scheme crew (sadly, there are too many names to list here. When paint schemes are being done, they will be added in the credits section down below): Paint schemes, general help, testing, and more.
Beta testing group: Lots of testing! Bug finding, help, suggestions, and overall testing!

That's it for now! More updates will be posted as development progresses, and the credits section below will continue to be updated as more happens.

Here's a comparison image, this time the old Gen 6 chassis is on the left, the BSCRA Gen 7 chassis is on the right!

 

wow! this looks excellent!! i can't wait to see how this turns out!
also, i know you said there's already a bunch of paint scheme designers on this already, but i would absolutely love to take part in this as well if you're alright with that >v<

 

Cool

 

I think it is (some roblox games with the NASCAR name have been taken down or forced to change names, for example), but either way we (at least I did) wanted it to be fully lore-friendly, including a lore-friendly sanctioning body name.
