The Farm Truck Challenge (Results, 3rd Place Announced)

Wait...Datsun still exists??????

Datsun was revived a few years ago to sell small, cheap cars, and is only in a few markets (such as India and Indonesia).

[KLinardo]

With the new update coming out to Open Beta now there will probably be about a week or so turn around until it goes live as an update. This means that this challenge will go active with the rules as described shortly thereafter. I would like to get some more input on the tires and mod rules specifically in the next week.

yup. it's 2014 exactly.

it's just a shadow of the former datsun anyway. although the philosophy is the same (as a brand to sell cheaper cars than nissan's) it's a different 'cheap'

also 0-star rating from when it was released in 2014 up to mid 2015 when it finally received an airbag as an option

[KLinardo]

So I just updated the rules based on the suggestions I was getting and how I wanted the balance of the challenge. The rules as they are listed will probably be what is used when the challenge goes live when the new build goes to stable release.

If you have suggestions, please speak now.

[KLinardo]

The Challenge is open with the new public update. Deadline is January 8, 2016. Remaining details are in the OP.

[AirJordan]

Just to be sure: Open beta or no beta?

[strop]

I think the update may already contain the balance changes, at least, as far as the beta testing phase is over, that likely means that the beta is now the public release (though I haven't booted up to check yet).

[KLinardo]

My game updated when I booted up today so we should be in public release.

[Zabhawkin]

Just noticed minimum seats available?

So 2 even if 3 were available, or no less than 2 (requiring a .lua edit)

[KLinardo]

No. Perhaps I could have been more clear. You just can't modify your file. You can equip the truck with 3 seats if 2 is an option. You just can't equip it with 1 seat via .lua Mods.

[AirJordan]

Will the new body be safety penalty free?

[KLinardo]

I'm not entirely sure. It may still have a small one depending on the year it becomes available.

[strop]

I'm actually building something for this challenge. As usual, I like my trucks powerful and fast. But apparently it's not very economical... also my first build came to a market price of 10k so uh, a bit of a ways to go.

I'd like to see thecarlover's new mod, but they seem to be having problems with their software at the moment.

That's my 2011 workhorse Doit!
Got some chrome, rims, lots of space and a decent V8. Seems like a truck to me
