    I honestly think it would be a neat addition to BeamNG if the Light Runner mode had some more love through it's way, as I think there's plenty of potential there for a massive future update. I think an updated, drivable version of Glow City would be awesome to explore, along with some new/reworked configs for vehicles that give off a Glow City/Cyberpunk aesthetic. Things like custom wide body kits, turbofan inspired rims, '80s syfy inspired digital gauges, etc, would be a cool way to revamp existing Powerglow cars, or even create some new ones.

    This hypothetical update could also give more lore to Glow City and the general setting of the Light Runner mode. Here's my take on possible lore for the Light Runner mode:

    "It's the year 20XX. Internal combustion engines have been completely outlawed inside Glow City, a stylish metropolis constructed and run by the Kraken Corporation, for years now. The ban was passed off as a way to protect the environment, that Kraken Corp's electric self-driving cars were infinitely safer, but a group of renegades soon found out the ban was for darker reasons; monitorization and a totalitarian level of control over Glow City's citizens. These renegades, dubbed the Light Runners, refused to give up their machines, choosing a life of freedom, self expression, and danger instead of a sanitized, corporate approved, emotionless existence.

    The Light Runners use their heavily modified cars to inspire other citizens of Glow City to join their cause and push back against Kraken Corp by showing them what life is suppose to be, a fun filled joyride. However, Kraken Corp isn't tolerating the Light Runner's rebellion, and uses a special pursuit force, complete with their own prototype super car (a modified Bolide) to try and take the Light Runners down and regain control over their city. Using specialized digitally constructed tracks that are spawned into Glow City with their vehicles on board holo-projectors, the Light Runners stay one step ahead of the Kraken Corp by outrunning their pursuit concept cars, driving their machines in a way a on board computer could never replicate, fighting back against a bland, boring tomorrow."

    Is my lore idea dumb? Maybe, but I still had fun writing it.
