it seems the stock D series does blowovers as is, it has to go double the speed but this is without downforce (unless anything is considered downforce at that speed, the point is it does blowovers at around 450MPH)

Well it's nowhere even close to being ready for skins to be made, so there's no reason for anyone to be concerned about that yet

Thats cool
And it means tht with all the downforce and the car weighing far less we should be abled to cause blowovers

this is my first attempt at making a mod for beamng drive. its a NASCAR stock car with a d series shell. based on the camping world truck series that races alongside the main NASCAR series in america.
NASCAR is famous for waving a caution flag to some of the biggest crashes in world Motorsport, so why is it that we are yet to see one of these amazing machines make an appearance in the game with by far the most incredible crash physics of any other?
i want to change that so over the past month or two i have been working on this...

as i said in the beginning this is my first mod so im very much learning as i go
so far i have gotten a basic jbeam structure for the roll cage to load in beamng (this is not the one i will use in the final model) but i am yet to get the mesh to load
i posted early photos of the model last month on a different content creation page but im posting it here so that hopefully more people will see it and be able to offer advice/suggestions

i welcome your support, advice, suggestions, and even criticism (always welcome but make it constructive)
with open arms, anything that might be beneficial for me and this project.

i have been wanting this for so long now
help me make this dream come true

PROJECT UPDATE! 21/8/2017
i have now finished the rear suspension, everything is done from scratch apart from the shocks and springs (which are taken from the moonhawk). the point were the track bar attaches to the chassis has not yet bean modeled because i need to work out the best way of making it (if you didn't see my post from earlier today i plan on making the track bar adjustable while driving).

the body has been cut into separate body panels. the front and rear bumpers/panels, front and rear quarter panels, door panels and roof.

i have replaced the 423 engine with the smaller more accurate 353 mesh from the barstow, i have also made new headers and exhaust pipes.

finally i have made the fuel fill and overflow hoses and adjusted the body to accommodate them

the model is getting close to completion now, i hope to have it done by the end of next month, of course depending on school. i still have to model the front suspension and would appreciate if anyone could provide me with close up photos of this area (other than from google images). i also have to finish the interior details like the seat, wiring and hoses on the floor and other details like fire extinguishers and electronic equipment, really just to fill in that empty space next to the driver. again close up photos are appreciated and requested.

thanks you all so much for your continued support. so far things have been going extremely well and i have no intentions of letting all this hard work go to waste.
also i would like to especially thank carlosjr for the amazing work he is doing on the engines and drive train.

cheers mate

PROJECT UPDATE 15/08/2017
i would like to thank beamng for providing me with a tire mesh that is so close in dimension to real NASCAR tires that just a few tweaks was all it took to end up with a tire that will work beautifully for my mod.

(if your wondering why i rendered the images, its because i wanted to show off the new textures and went a bit overboard)
the tires are the 15x14 drag tire meshes which i have tweaked slightly to make them fit the rims better.

the rims were originally the STX 15x9 5 lug rims which i have had to make wider in order to fit the tires

the texture are essentially just the base textures modified to add the newer grip all logos and red lug nuts

just to prevent any confusion for people less familiar with how beamng works. i am only using the drag tire models, the jbeam files (the thing that makes the physics work) will be completely redone so that in the game the tires will perform as they should, like NASCAR tires.

PROJECT UPDATE 2/08/2017
first off thanks to everyone for you support, advice and suggestions, i really appreciate it
i have done a fair bit of work on the interior, adding the dashboard, gauges, switches, pedals, and steering column. the the pedals, steering wheel, gear shifter and gauge needles were all taken from beamng models originally but i did need to make a couple of changes to make them more NASCARey...

next task is to make the drivers seat and add extra details such as wiring, hoses and other electronic components. if anyone has any suggestions for the interior do please share them with me.

plan on posting any updates to the project when as regularly as i can. i im working on this in my free time so how regularly i work on the project will depend on how busy i am with school. i want to try and have it working and available to download and play with by the end of the year but as i said it all depends on school.

PROJECT UPDATE THE FIRST!

the body shell comes from the base file of the regular d series but as you can see i have made some pretty significant changes.

the chassis and roll cage has been modeled from scratch and closely mimics the NASCAR truck chassis which it is based on

the engine, is the 423 v8 taken from the gavril barstow along with the radiator and gearbox (the headers are from the barstow but the exhaust was made by me)

other features include roof flaps witch i hope to make function in a way that closely mimics reality.

this is a little detail that would help the cars overall realism... see those screws on the front of the hood? they keep the hood from flying up during a crash
