WIP Beta released Autobello Formula Kart Classic (Bodykit Update 2024-02-11)

CURRENT PUBLIC RELEASE - Alpha 4 (2024-02-11):
https://www.beamng.com/threads/auto...sic-grand-prix-kart.60570/page-8#post-1683817

This is a scratch-built racing go-kart based on a chassis design from the early 1980s. It's a similar type of kart to what Formula 1 legends like Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher used early in their racing careers.

The JBeam was completely rebuilt from scratch in January 2024, and the handling and force feedback have since been exclusively tested on a Direct Drive wheelbase.

A '90s style bodykit consisting of a fairing, bumper, and sidepods is optionally available and comes with two liveries by yours truly.

Known issues:

Brakes do not function in Arcade ABS mode. Use Realistic or ABS Off.

Front spindles can invert when turning full lock at speed on keyboard/controller

original OP said:

This is my first vehicle for BeamNG, so I wanted to start with something mechanically simple. I've tried creating traditional cars but making the suspension beams proved to be, uh, quite the task.

So far, I have created the JBeams for the frame and seat, and it is driveable. It tends to hop and skip under high cornering loads causing the steering arms to bend 180 degrees, which I'd like some help with. I also need some help finding power figures of a period correct 100cc engine.

Other things I need to do is texture the wheels, tires, and engine parts.

For now, have a video of it in action:

(I actually had to stabilize this video via Vegas, as the original footage is headache inducing)

Oh, man, that looks sweet!! Can't wait to try that bad boy out when you post it!

Other than the fact that it sounds like a covet, it looks pretty great. Good luck

Agreed! And yes, I'm the guy from YouTube comments that said you need 100,000 subs. It: looking forward to this

This is a racing kart from the Post Classic era (1980-1991). It's a similar type of kart to what Formula 1 legends like Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher used early in their racing careers.

Nice vehicle! Any options for a pigeon engine for a superkart?

No

I've driven gokarts around a track before, this looks cool!

Aerohead1999 · Feb 8, 2019

this looks amazing can't wait! I feel like adding a dummy as a driver would make it Fun to smash and roll!

Roope Lylyoja · Feb 18, 2019

make that 2 stroke optional ??

Dane McAlpin · Mar 18, 2020

Please no, is this a stop?

MatGame516 · May 29, 2020

It's been some time, hasn't it?
I've been learning more about JBeam, suspension geometry, and tire physics little by little.

Frame has been rigidified, front geometry completely revised (more realistic KPI, caster, jacking, and Ackermann), tire flex/physics completely revamped, new engine torque curve and sounds. Force feedback is fantastic on a Fanatec wheel thanks to new geometry and tires; feels much closer to KartKraft than it ever has before.

Underrated mod with so many potential in it

It's been a while, isn't it? Good to see you are back at this mod. Always great to have more parts of motorsport be represented in beam!
