The online racing simulator
UF1 Midget race car


I saw this video showcasing someone's "Midget Race Car" build.
The premise is simple: The cars are built on custom chassis', ideally smaller than a road car, yet still using a road car's combustion engine.

In the video, the donor car for the engine and drivetrain is a small FF hatchback, similar to the UF1.
I try to create a vehicle mod using the UF1 engine, and loosely following the build in the video along with the Midget Car building regulations (link bellow).

Hopefully this will be fairly easy to create as my very first mod, while being an interesting vehicle to drive in-game. I will keep you updated on my process!

I decided to start with all the settings and specs

-The wheel size, wheelbase and track width were made to regulation (link in previous post)
-The transmission (now RWD) and engine is the default UF 1000cc with a lowered resistance multiplier to account for removing the stock exhaust system
-The suspension system is as seen in the video: double wishbone on the front, MacPherson strut on the rear
-More minor settings

I made a quick mock-up of the car in the frame editor, I also adjusted the object positions acordingly

Therefore it's fully drivable now! Really happy with how it handles.

As for modelling: For now I only did what's visible in the attached pic, just to see how I would go about doing the frame.

I will keep working on the model, update coming soon!

I mostly finished modelling the frame, I also adjusted the suspension geometry a lot to match it up to the model.

It's coming together! I just need to add the body panels and details (suspension mounts, interior, engine).

I'll keep you updated!

Will this have lots of suspension travel? Looks like fun on rallycross tracks.

For sure! It's super fun off-road. Rallycross setup will be included once it goes public.

I completely missed this...
