🏁 Time Trial Competition Results: Drama, Speed, and a Surprising Champion! 🏁

Hello and welcome back to WOSSOM, where today we break down what turned out to be an absolutely chaotic Time Trial Competition at the Automation Test Track.

The event featured 11 factory-built race cars, all designed by players in Automation and tested in BeamNG. This was a high-stakes affair—many of these cars were built for speed, but traction proved to be the real enemy. The treacherous Slingshot corner, a high-speed left-hander, became a graveyard for lap times (and potentially Mr. Franco’s sanity).

From cars spinning out of control to a wild last-corner crash, this event had everything. But the biggest shock? The ACZ Stout V12 Sedan TA took the win, proving to be the most complete package on track.

Before diving into the results, we owe you all an apology—the live transmission quality was a bit… questionable. Blurry images, occasional screen freezes, and at one point, what looked like an actual potato cam. Mr. Franco is "looking into it", which means we have no idea what went wrong, but we’ll try to fix it before the next event, the City Street Rally in Italy.

Now, let’s break down the results and see how each car performed!

🥇 1st - ACZ Stout V12 Sedan TA (2:13.256)

The clear, undisputed champion. While every other car was battling minor issues, this thing destroyed the field. The V12-powered sedan somehow combined high power, great grip, and excellent balance, setting a time that looked almost unreal. No one expected this level of dominance—not even us!

🥈 2nd - DCMW Jawad Twelve R (2:17.855)

Tati’s pick for the win came so close to victory—until Mr. Franco happened. The 666-hp V12 monster was terrifyingly fast but also a handful to control. The drama peaked when, on the final corner, Franco overcorrected a slide, clipped the guardrail, rolled the car, and still crossed the line in second place. Legendary.

🥉 3rd - Regal Falcon "Crazy8" (2:25.957)

When we saw this tiny car with a V12, we expected complete chaos. But surprisingly, it was calm, collected, and fast. It held its own and became a fan-favorite. Now, with the tight City Streets Rally coming up next, it might just be the one to beat!

4th - Dragon Motor Racing Superior Wyvern (2:28.199)

Rusty’s pick did well, finishing as the top V8-powered machine. With 279 hp, it was quick, but a lack of grip held it back. Still, Rusty insists that it was "pure American muscle doing what muscle does best—going fast and looking cool."

5th - A.G. Renaissance V8 Racecar (2:28.745)

One of the best-looking cars on the grid, but unfortunately, it struggled with traction. While the V8 provided decent power, the car simply couldn’t carry speed through the corners like the top contenders.

6th - Phaeton Time Trial (2:29.255)

Decent handling, but lacked outright pace. This car was predictable and easy to drive, but in a competition where speed is key, it just couldn’t match the leaders.

7th - Bellagio Nuvolari Corsa (2:30.759)

Benny’s pick looked like a million bucks but didn’t have the pace to match. Benny defended it, saying, "Y’all just don’t understand finesse!" But in reality? It simply wasn’t fast enough.

8th - Pioneer Sprint "BabyBlue" (2:31.914)

A fun little momentum car, but it just didn’t have the power to keep up. Great handling, but on a high-speed track like this, it was always going to be outgunned.

9th - Vento XF Scoria R (2:33.368)

Despite having a V12, this car struggled with traction and weight. It had the power, but it couldn’t put it down effectively, making it one of the more frustrating drives of the day.

10th - A.G. l'Avance14CV - Racecar (2:39.492)

Simply outclassed in every way. It looked vintage and had charm, but it lacked both speed and grip to be truly competitive.

11th - CBC Carrier Mk1 T/A (2:42.924)

It technically finished the race, but only after Mr. Franco completely destroyed it.The Boxer-6 layout made it difficult to control, and Franco’s repeated struggles meant the car never had a competitive chance. By the time it set a lap, the poor thing was battered and bruised, limping across the line dead last.We salute the effort—hopefully, next time, it spends more time racing than recovering.

🏁 Final Thoughts & What’s Next?

This Time Trial Competition was full of surprises. Some cars outperformed expectations, while others were completely outclassed. But the biggest takeaway? The ACZ Stout V12 Sedan TA is a serious machine.

Next up, we head to Italy for the City Streets Rally, where handling and agility will matter more than outright speed. Could this be Benny’s revenge? Will Rusty’s V8s survive the tight corners? And most importantly…

Can Mr. Franco keep the car facing forward for an entire lap?

Stay tuned. 🚗💨🔥
