A mod as a thank you -COOK ROADSTER-

Added 2024-09-16 06:22:33 +0000 UTC

some of you have remained members during my break... and I have struggled to stop working, so I channelled that energy into a patreon exclusive mod. You're not required to be here, but since you've been here (even if it was that you just forgot), I appreciate you, so enjoy this mod only for you.

This is an original lore friendly car I made, and my first one fully from scratch. The idea is that it was an Australian concept car slap dashed together, fibreglass body and an off the shelf inline 6 (based on the intec), then it was revived after internet interest, and some enterprising entrepreneurs bought the rights in 2022 to make kit cars, some went to a 1 make race series, and some went to be on the road. Unfortunately they were more interested in money than cars, so they don't handle amazingly. They also have a Barra now, and if you think it feels slow and sluggish off the line.... well that's what it's like irl. It has the correct power curve, and gearing, but you're free to tune it.

during this process I've learned how much RND has gone into the suspension of default cars in beamng, because the geometry was really hard to make unique whilst staying basic enough to be hand made, but also.... oh my god the geometry loves to twist a lot under power and braking! I think I've gotten to a place where I'm happy with this, and am now sharing it with you.

I originally made this body to be a modern version of old 30s-50s open wheeler race cars before they started to go mid engine, but kept working on it, and by the time I'd made a barra head, I decided that I was going to make this into a mod :)
