NFS ProOffroad
Fast racing is all well and good! Wind in your ears, expensive cars… Lots of money. But it's strongly tied to gigantic risk and expense. Now wouldn't it be fun to buy that same Pagani Zonda and crash into a pole at 350 km/h. It won't be very pleasant to look at that mess… You feel sorry for the car, sorry for the driver, the relatives don't know what to do about it. And why is everyone drawn to this? Why spend money on expensive cars when you can buy some all-wheel-drive car and tear around the mountains or somewhere else… I've long been interested in offroad and I decided to bring it to life with the help of NFS ProStreet.
Well, let's start with the fact that we need an all-wheel-drive car that will hold confidently on the road, squeeze through every crevice and climb any mountain. The best car turned out to be the Subaru Impreza, but you can try the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 8. But I ruled it out right away, because it kept hitting the mountain with its bumper, and getting in somewhere deep was simply impossible. You could take the Lamborghini Murselago, but I think you understand yourselves what repairs will cost there, and it's not a very good car for bumps or potholes anyway.
On the Subaru Impreza I put off-road wheels (or something like them) and made small rims and a gigantic tire. As a precaution it can be widened. We categorically refuse low bumpers because they'll get in the way, and besides, it's just not pretty. Again, as a precaution we install a roll cage (maybe it'll help). Spoiler and air intake – to taste. I didn't bother putting them on, because if you ram a mountain backwards the spoiler will simply fall off. And of course, don't forget to install a new engine and everything else. Otherwise how are we going to drive? The stock engine will blow up or the tires will burst. It's easier to spend money on professional ones than buying a bunch of stock ones
We'll be testing our ride on the track where we race with the king of the street - Re Watanabe (the track in the desert).
Now let's move on to the suspension. The most important thing is to set it up correctly. We set the ride height to maximum (nobody wants to punch a hole in the bottom of their car), make the suspension as soft as possible (so the car doesn't bounce on small bumps at speed). In the tires we set the minimum pressure, because of this the tire will expand on the track and there will be good grip. We need grip so that we can climb as far as possible.
Well, finally we head out onto the track and try out our machine. For fun you can drive up a mountain at speed and see what happens. If you set up the suspension correctly, the car will fly up on the bumps, but after landing it won't bounce. Those who understand at least something about off-roading will first drive all the way around the mountain, and only then slowly climb it, so as not to dent their car. And now we're at the very top! And what do we do? If there's nothing to do at all and you've piled up just a ton of money, you can slam the gas with all your might and fly off somewhere far away. After that you'll have to either fix the old car or buy a new one. Or switch to a regular car and take up work, kids or something else…
If you did everything right, you'll end up with a full-fledged off-road vehicle. One that will climb any mountain and come back down without a single scratch.
Good luck on the road!
