That's incredible. you couldn't pay me 15000 euro to drive one of those around that's a messed up car market you guys have over there. can I get 70s 911s for cheap at least? if it's a nice one I can get over 100k for them here in the states.
Love how they had steering wheel and pedals at each station yet everyone was using the xbox controllers. That's how you know the game is a true simulator... Equally I am surprised they managed to find that many people who actually play the WRC games. I did like the winners comments though
There you go. one of my old customers had not a 911, but a 912e, it had a fresh engine and Trans and fresh paint. now it's a 250k usd car.
when theyre full restored they cost here 80-100k! Also did a bit of research and only found 5 AE86s in germany and one of them isnt even in germany
Spotted today. Funny to see this in this area, where the most expensive houses are only about £220,000
That game is a joke. play Richard burns and than come talk to me you posers. on second thought, beamng.rally or die.
While I do really love Richard Burns Rally (spent a lot of time playing it as a child) I have heard numerous times online that while its physics are decent they are still quite a ways off from the real thing. I can only assume that it is closer than dirt rally but I would need to try the real thing to know for sure. BeamNG is turning into a really good rally game over time though, even RoR was somewhat competent at it too. All of the above are a lot of fun regardless Excluding the WRC games which are meh
I have a technical question about cars and downforce. Without any additional aerodynamic modifications the race version of the car that I am making for BeamNG can pull about 1.1g of cornering force at 60mph (cruise control, maximum angle without understeer). When I add extra downforce to both the front and back of the car it barely effects how many g's it can pull on a corner. However the car becomes very twitchy in how it handles making it difficult to drive. The standard road car gets around 0.93 g's around corners, however with fatter tyres with a slightly more grippy compound I managed to get it to 1.1g. The suspension was also modified to make it lower and more track ready too but as far as I can tell had little effect. Is it realistic with only a splitter and rear wing to get a car from 1.1g to 1.2g? If so how can I achieve that without making the car very difficult to control? Or have I reached the limits of the rest of the car in terms of chassis and suspension?
A large part is probably the limitation of the car. At any point in time the car is pulling more than its weight in both a horizontal and vertical directions. The twitchyness probably comes from the decreased "open" space the car has. With more downforce you either push the car down (and have less suspension travel) or stiffen the springs (and make the ride harsher) Both will bring the car much closer to its limits of "normal"
A splitter won't take you from .9 to 1.3 g of lateral acceleration I don't think. the aerodynamics in beam can not be trusted like the rest of it yet. I can roll a car down a hill faster than its terminal velocity should be and that's not at an angle steeper than 45 degrees.
I'm seeing a disturbing pattern in crash performance with the 1997 Pontiac Trans Sport and the 2001 Ford F-150. The occupant compartment of both vehicles just collapsed like a house of cards. The collapse of the occupant compartment in the Trans Sport was so bad that the left foot of the dummy actually broke off from the leg. On another topic, what causes the horn to go off in a crash like in the two above videos?
Well, what would you expect? Cars from the Big 3 weren't that particularly safe back then. Also, the reason why horns went off in crashes like that is because the steering wheel has either been "broken off" of the steering rack, debris, parts, whichever may have been jammed up in between and cause it to contact on the horn ring, causing it to go off, or the impact from the dummy hitting the airbag caused it to be jammed onto the ring, including how badly the cabs folded up.

And then there's the Toyota Previa, just pretty much launching the steering column to the roof, clotheslining the dummy on the way up.
I think I now need therapy, I've just seen a Satan Black '08 Volkswagen Jetta with lowered suspension, stickers all over the rear quarter panel and rice gold rims......
@Benjamin Tam - My personal "favorite" crash test is the 2001 Hyundai Elantra. Now, it doesn't crumple to hell and back, it's the fact that the airbag.. Just watch it. Concussions 4lyfe
No freaking way an AE86 is worth more than 3000 USD on performance alone. The cartoon lies (or rather people's interpretation of it does).
I decided to compare crash tests on a 1980's Mercedes W123 to a 1980's Ford LTD CV, to my suprisal the W123 didn't crumple as much as the Crown Vic
