Hmm, I have bicycle cadence and speed sensor as well as HRM chest strap that can connect to computer, but I'm not sure how those would work as controller for BeamNG.

Sadly it might not be possible to make those operate game, kinda would be interesting how fast I could pedal Covet...

Normal bike on turbo trainer is soo much more hardcore, which setup I happen to have

It might be that I would need to write piece of code that makes sensor to be readable with game using something from here:

Combining exercising and playing BeamNG would be quite interesting, but not sure if I'm quite capable of producing something like that, it should be possible though if I understood that all correctly.

Sooooo I know this isn't meant to be competitive or anything
But I had to beat the mouse（；^ω^）
I did 1.09.943 in the Covet Track car, with a drawing tablet

If anyone really doesn't believe me I can make a video, though It'll be a different lap since I didn't record that one. (And I gotta figure out how to upload a video to here)

Did a 1:30.219 with box van, using the mouse pointer only. Video included.

Sooo this is an idea that I had yesterday, after @Codeslamer and me tried to race in the BeamNG Racing Competition using drawing tablets to drive. Despite a tablet being objectively terrible for driving a car, it was actually super fun! So then I started wondering what other weird and unconventional controllers could be used to race in BeamNG. So that's what this is; a BeamNG Racing League for racing with drawing tablets and other weird controllers! (;^.^)

Rules

You must use a weird or unusual control setup for your race. So basically, not a keyboard, gamepad, or steering wheel. Drawing tablets are encouraged if you own one, but even just a mouse is probably acceptable. The weirder the better really.

At least throttle and steering must be mapped to your controller. You can use the keyboard for like brakes and shifting and stuff if you want though.

You may only use official vehicles (at least for now), but mild performance mods are allowed. To be honest though, you probably won't want a super fast car for this challenge. It's hard enough as it is... (´꒳`∗)

Have fun! This isn't a super-serious competition, so don't worry if your time isn't great! It's really just about having fun racing with weird and objectively terrible control setups.

How to Enter
Simply complete a race of at least 2 laps on the "Short Race Circuit" on Hirochi Raceway, using an unusual control setup. You can do as many laps as you want, but your final score will be your fastest lap time. After you've finished the race, take a screenshot of your time, and post it here. Be sure to include the details of the control setup you used!
