WIP Ibishu Covet "Folkrace"

Have anyone heard anything about folkrace? It is like racing in derby cars. It is very popular in Finland, Sweden, Norway etc. So I decided to make a folkrace car to BeamNG.

Here it is! Ibishu Covet Folkrace! (Still W.I.P.)

I made this first version in about 1 hour.

It needs still some work.

Planned ideas:
Gavril Grand Marshall front and rear axles to Covet (Yup, swaps are popular in folkrace)
More wheels
Sunburst 2.0 I4 engine swap
Safety fuel tank
Longer front shocks
Better interior & texture
Better bumpers
Suggested ideas

Please leave suggestions and comments.

 

Banger Racing?

 

I love evrything from Scandinavia ! This gun b gud

 

also needs paintjobs
love to see it finished, good work

 

Thank you. I'm thinking that I might create some racing decals for this.

 

I think you should work a little more on the front skirt to make it look less like a derby car.


But I have to say I really like this idea, and I have been thinking about a jokkis/folkrace/bilcross implement to this game myself. Hope you continue to work on this, would be great to see this fantastic motorsport in BeamNG.

 

I live in norway..

Ive seen this once, and it ususally end up in big crashes or swearing

 

Some progress on front fascia. And I made skidplate fit better.

 

Looking good!

Thank you much for the advice! It helped a lot!

 

this is something i can get behind, i freaking love folk race! its super entertaining watching peoples dreams go to hell when there cars flip over and they end up in a ditch well keep up the work will love to see how this turns out

 

A little progress update, some jbeam changes and some testing.

And of course I rolled it.

Next things to do:
Racing seat and harness
Better textures
Gavril axles & Sunburst engine

 

Maybe you Need to swap it to rwd if you decide to do a engine swap

 

not really

6677 did fwd sunbutt swap it was... interesting

 

Atomix did the mesh work for that. I can resurrect it if required though.

 

I know. That's why I'm trying to combine Sunburst engine and Gavril GM rear axle. I just need to do some jbeaming.

 

minus the transverse engine... Dont see many front transverse engine rear wheel drive setups... Get AWD of course.
