Members Choice XXXII Pack Release!

Welcome to the release of the 32nd Members Choice Pack!

  • 1983 Hamda Commune 1.2 Turbo II :

    Featuring an impressive power output thanks to the turbo on this pocket rocket, this diminutive car had a surprising optional extra of another vehicle inside its tiny boot - namely a 50cc scooter for the times when even a car this small is too big!

  • 1989 Hamda Centra 1.6 Si-R :

    Another sporting hot-hatch chosen by the community from this popular marque’s line-up, this fourth-generation model featured a new variable valve timing system which gave an impressive power kick in the latter stages of the rev range - yo!

  • 1982 Faerro 50-12 5.0 BBi (RHD & LHD variants) :

    This attractive Italian icon stretched from the 70s to the 80s and looks somewhat ahead of the curve from the 70s perspective but comparatively restrained to the 80s. Something that would be emboldened for the subsequent model!

  • 1992 Chevalier Lumen 3.4 S34 :

    (Bonus) Looking a bit like it drove through a pile of polystyrene, this mid-size American coupe was not shy about showing its sporting aspirations.

  • 1995 Fawn Sultan 2.9 24v Ultima :

    (MotorNation's Choice) The direct rival for the last MotorNation’s choice, this controversially styled, but competent, exec-saloon was well covered by the press over its looks with statements like “with a face of such unparalleled awfulness” that it would “make their children cry”.

The following vehicles were also updated:

  • 1995 McLaurence S1 6.1 LM: Minor handling adjustment. Following feedback, I investigated the 0-60 figures, but the current figures appear accurate because of the lack of tyre traction on the road car. The game needs improvements to the modelling of such vehicles where downforce is more of a factor in a vehicle’s overall performance. There may also be other related tweaks in the future, but unfortunately, this isn’t a simple fix so for now I've downgraded its tyre grip levels to help better reflect reality.

As usual, the above vehicles may be available new or secondhand in the classifieds, as appropriate, from time to time.

All players can access these vehicles.

A massive thank you to those who contributed towards getting these in-game!

New Race: Sports Saloons & Wagons!

Topping the Members Race Event wish list, I have now added an event for sports saloons & wagons. This is a B class race with a minimum weight of 1100KG and as the name implies, vehicles must be a saloon or estate (sedan or wagon) with sporting aspirations!

As usual, this race may have adjustments made in the future.

Many thanks to everyone who has taken part in this poll!
