Beta Stunt Ring 0.1

Introduction

After a year of development I can say this is now testable. I want to share it before next update so players can enjoy it before any modifications on West Coast Usa map.
A lot of driving experience and skills can be achieved fast when you put to the limit a single car for long enough. This is why my weapon of choice today is our beloved Ibishu Covet Student Driver config.
BeamNG is unique for simulate chases, but most of the time, we as players don't use realistic cars to do it. In real life, chases are not good thing most of the time, but on stunt driving you need to go the closest to that without a real danger, balancing all with production/training costs.
This is why I do this as a time attack mission.
You can't do a good time for this if you don't take your time to learn a little about the car and the route, at the end of the day that's most of the work for achieve stunt and sport driving.
Cars with more power might be fun to drive for experienced drivers, but the average game player don't have that skill to really enjoy racing without assists. Faster cars also are too low to survive real exhausting use over curbs and jumps.
This car is light, can survive the full course and also proved to work well with most stock police cars of the game when tested on multiplayer as chasers. It won't work if you are chased by an experienced driver or if they chasing on Interceptor Sunburst, but most of the time you will run away using this car and the cuts included on this missions.
Having a better understanding of driving really saved my life more than once, the less I can do is to share the practices that helped me skill up. It's a hard labor I do afterwork on freetime to put this missions together and still need some help to make it a better experience, but I know all the effort worth it when it comes to Beam Community.​

MOD INFO​

The mod consist of 8 missions, having only first one visible and unlocking others one by one.
You can find mission markers at Riverway Plaza parking:


The real challenge is in the 8th mission, which is the full loop that unifies all this spots and cuts. 7 first missions will be that same course but splitted in 7 different parts of an average 2 mins each to complete.
I wanted to include more stunts and spots in the map, but realized no much people would be able to complete that kind of gymkhana, so better to keep it all into a 14km layout.
The name "Stunt Ring" comes because it reminded me of the NurburgRing.
It got less length but it takes 30-40% more time to complete using this car due to low speed sections.
Fast sections on this missions are meant to control weight, balance and braking after high speeds while slow sections requires weight transfer control to go over curbs and sidewalks.

This full ring, as NurburgRing can be used as circuit, but as it crosses over itself several times, can also be mixed infinitely to achieve an own and personal "escape route" or loop (so if you meet with people that knows those spots in MP you can still take advantage of it).

Here's a video covering the first 2 missions:


As each section is very agrresive with suspension, and after months of testing the full loop (and having only completed it 6-10 times without repairs or prefabs help), the final challenge includes some helps for curbs and landings at some spots, which makes possible to get to the finish line on time without repairs or having the car undrivable for most portion of the route.

MISSION MAPS​

Orange arrow is start line and Squared flag is finish line for each challenge map.

Feel free to give any feedback about this, there's still changes to be made and text boxes to be filled, but for now it is fully playable. Please report any mistyping, errors or "stuff that shouldn't be there", this is the first time I'm uploading a mod and I want it to be as clean as possible, any help is really welcome.
