BeamNG Showdown Series #1.5 Minisode - Trial Mountain Racecar Battle
18A BeamNG Showdown Series minisode. Think "Best Motoring" inspired show where fast rival cars face-off in a time attack battle with detailed vehicle commentary and cinematics. This time we have the race versions of the Pessima and Sunburst from the Trial Mountain mod scenarios. I've improved my voiceover quality a fair amount by miking my voice differently and used a splitscreen side-by-side video for the runs to emphasize how truly mirror the battle was to end up with a photo finish of only 7 thousandths of a second difference.
We are on the memorable Trial Mountain from Gran Turismo as recreated for version 0.6.1 of BeamNG.drive, with plenty of intense braking zones and blind corners that really push the cars at fairly high speeds. Considering the specifications of these two cars, it's amazing how closely matched they are on this circuit. It feels almost like the two race cars are meant for an equal spec racing series. One just has a touch more power at the cost of a touch more weight.
Watch closely during the splitscreen to find out how the racing-focused models of these two cars compare and you'll see different racing lines through many corners that end up matching by the end of each straight. I hope you enjoy the presentation, as I'm continuing to channel Best Motoring somewhat in my voiceover and description of the technical details regarding the powertrains and chassis of these vehicles, and put some effort into getting some nice ghost riding donut stunts for the opening shots. There's also some AWD drifting, a few wrecks, close near misses with walls, and some countersteer heavy saves and two-wheel moments with the aggressive curbs.
