WATCH: BeamNG’s extraordinary rally mode tested

Hands-on with one of BeamNG's best new features.

BeamNG Rally hands-on

1 minute read

By John Munro

With early access v0.39, BeamNG.drive has reached new heights with updated graphics, lighting, user interface and photo mode.

But, as great as these enhancements are, the changes to the rally mode really caught our eye. A new gravel (USA-based) route that includes driving between stages on public roads with traffic, plus notes by real-world co-driver Alex Kihurani.

It’s not feature complete. We’d like to see more on-screen times and relative results during and post-stage (you must wait until the loop is finished), and naturally there are only two of these loop configurations available presently.

But, combining this amount of detailed rally action with simulation physics and damage makes for a compelling experience.

You can watch my full verdict on the Traxion YouTube channel and see how it works, including checking in to stages on time (or not…).
