Weekly race thread

bump

please do not have any more covet challenges. to show why, i've completed the last challenge at a competitive time without letting off the throttle at all. FWD is far too forgiving in this game, it's almost impossible to lose control or really mess up. you just cause oversteer by turning in to a corner at any speed without letting off the throttle and friction does the braking for you. it shouldn't be like that.

i do tap the parking brake in 3 places, but it is very possible to get around those specific corners without doing so.



additionally,

the majority of the map was run at <40mph.

 

Very nice driving, really awesome. And what do you mean, 40mph is the fastest i have seen a stock covet go

 

Very nice ! I think that's a point well proven ! New challenge later

We started from the bottom now were here as drake poorly sang.
This weeks challenge as described above is from the very bottom of mt shell all the way to the compound at the top!
Start point - the tarmac line where the road begins
Finish point - end of the road at the compound !

Track - http://www.beamng.com/threads/6579-Mt-Shell
Car - The stock Bolide !!

enjoy

 

Nice lap. And also nice fail @ 1:30 lol

 

while i will admit that i did not mean to hit the wall that hard, I did intend to do something similar to slow down significantly. the corner at the top of the hill has infuriating geometry - slowing down is helpful.

 

i know and i can read, but i hate Bolide (driving it, not the car) SOOOO... i used Moonhawk, stripped of mirrors, chrome, interior, heavy duty suspension, supercharged with slip diff. and my time is 4:47 (probably not competitive, but i like my Moonhawk)

 

Whats the next race then?

 

Track - Mt-Shell
Car - The stock Bolide

 

good challenge , best i could manage was 4:35

 

Earlier today I received this message from DrBeat.

As you can see he has asked me to post the races this week until he is able to return.
Well here is today's challenge.

Death Road Rally
Track: Death Road RELEASED 2/10 FIXED
Vehicle: Ibishu Covet MRi *UPDATED* Use Rally version

Start here, where the road starts by the spawn point.

Follow the asphalt road, do not turn on any dirt roads.
you will eventually reach the end of the asphalt road, finish line is the square tar patch.


The activity on this forum seems to be a bit low lately so hopefully we can increase the number of participants. Please give it a try and as usual post your vids, pics and of course your time.
Enjoy and Good Luck.

 

Okay I'll do this last challenge later.

 

if this is the finish line...

then my time is 1:55:7

 

I just made a video of my 1:35 time. Rendering right now. Will upload it soon.

Edit:

Here we go. (I accidentally used the turbo version instead of rally...oops)

 

that's an awfully flashy video for such a slow time



1:18

the car has a wonky transmission - using the brakes while in automatic immediately throws it in reverse. so i just used the ebrake.

cool map.

 

I know it wasn't the best time, but I didn't have much time so I just used the first lap time that I actually made it down the hill. I felt like making it flashy because I was just flat out bored

 

[h=1]Since it's Friday I thought I'd post a new challenge. As mentioned before I have been instructed by DrBeat to post challenges until he returns.

The Scarab Dirt Jam Race

Vehicle: DSC Scarab - V1[/h]
[h=1]Level: Dirt Jam - Motocross Style Racing Track | Update: V1.3[/h]
Basically start at spawn and record lap time.

Enjoy and good luck.

 

Best I could get was a 2:37. My front suspension kept wanking up maknig it impossible to finish a race.

 

"wanking up"

haha what?

 

You know, wanking up...jacking up...f***ing up. It's all the same.

 

Big thanks to Auto fan for last week and his great challenge !!
