Intro
I was once told by my grandfather, nothing brings people together like cars. Two people of completely different countries can find some common ground in the industrial artform that has shaped automotive culture. Enough fancy words though, This will be a more of a community social event, encouraging members to not only build, but spectate, comment, and meet new people. The goal with this "Challenge" is not so much as building vehicles, as it is building a community.
Restrictions
- Event Type: This will be an Open Event, meaning any land based vehicles, however there are some restrictions. No military vehicles or weapons, you can however pimp out military trucks. Open wheeled, Classics, Off-road Buggies, Cars, Trucks, Motor Cycles, and Wheel Contraptions are all good. If you want to build a 3000 part exotics that requires a gaming rig, go for it, but if you're new, and want to make a simple 300 part build buggy, that's okay. Modding is a staple of car culture, so feel free to use old builds as a base, and "upgrade" it. Collaborations, and working with other builders is okay, and encouraged. Comment, Explore, and don't be afraid, to meet new people. Let do what the Simple Planes community has always done best, pushing boundaries, and having fun doing it.
Part Restrictions: None
Performance Restrictions: None
Layout Restrictions: None
Vehicle Class Restrictions: NONE However, when you are done with the build, let us know if it is one of the following classes. This will help us pick a Best in Class and Best in Show. Thanks,
Sedan/Saloon (4Doors)
- Coupe (2 Doors)
- Hatchback
- Truck
- Supercar (Street High Performance Vehicles)
- Race Car (Race Track use, Examples: LM, Touring, F1)
- Motorcycles
- Examples, you guys keep surprising me with each new post, I've seen tractors, off-road buggy's, and light shows on wheels. At this point, as long as it has a motor, wheels, and no-weapons, build what think is automobile.
If you're not sure, feel free to ask
In future events, you can expect these restriction to play more of a role, but this time around enjoy posting and meeting other builders.

Closed, this concludes the first Maywar Car Show. If anything, I'll be making more events like this. Maybe a Forza Horizon inspired festival ground to match. We live in times of conflict, and it's important to remember that at the end of the day we all are people, and members of this community. Thanks to all who have participated and these post are still here, so please, take the time to check out your fellow builders works. The goal of this "Challenge" even after the close is still the same, to build community. Till next time, -Echo

Sooooooo... Is this making a return?
It's not a successor, but here is something I made for this challenge.
@CB76565 No worries, I know the feeling. Do your thing, looking forward to the finish product. This is one of those chilled and laid back events so it's no rush.
@EchoWhiskey11 Alright, yeah, thanks. And sorry for bothering. I asked where do I specify the class, i didn't enquire about them. Also, thanks for the tip, but I've already choosen the car. Thanks for the official extension, by the way, it really meant a lot for my project, an it also optimized time for my daily packed-up routine. Peace.
@TRD6932 saw it, looks good 👍
I've already posted my submission as a successor in another post. Go check it out, I guess
@EchoWhiskey11 I understand you, thanks for the clarification.
@olympus333, from my Western perspective, this is my take, I'll give it a pass. I'll be honest, I thought the Z was a logo for "Zena" which means woman, which I took from Lena. At this point, as long as the community is okay with it, it's fine. Now if it was on a T80, that'd be a little different. As for your message, you support the lives of Russian troops. That's not political, you want to see people make it back home to their loved ones. I believe anyone regardless of national origin can respect that. So you have my thumb up on this design. Good build, keep up the solid work. For some of those reading, yes it may be a little controversial, but hey, that's kind of why I'm also doing this event. It's about building mutual respect for people and art, and not focusing on where that art comes from.
@EchoWhiskey11 That's cool. Maybe I'll get on cracking to that Miata when I have the time.
But if I don't, at least I have some sort of submission.
@EchoWhiskey11 There is a letter Z on my car L-1 Lena . Can this be regarded as a political provocation?
@TRD6932 Yes it has to be a successor. If you already built a car, all you got do is, first remove the original cockpit, download the cockpit for the competition, which is simple chip, remove the old cockpit and save the original design as a subassembly. Finally attach the chip for this competition to your design and there you go, you may need to repaint your design. That may be confusing, but luckily someone made a video as well. Don't worry, it's not a rick roll, I'm too boring and rick rolling is such a lame meme at this point.
If you want to build your Miata that you talked about you got another month, or maybe even a MR2 Mk1, or another classic RWD tuner the 1996 E36 BMW. Skies the limit, go for it.

Hey Builders,, sorry for being MIA. Going through flight school, the testing is insane. Excuses aside, I got three updates on the events for you guys.
The event has been extended to End of April. Giving those who want to participate an extra two weeks to submit their car. That also means the next upcoming even will be delayed.
Remember, this is a community building event, and I just want to remind everyone, please NOTHING POLITICAL. We come from very diverse backgrounds. If you want to make a statement, let it be your vehicle.
Every time I see a new post there is a new class of cars, so hey, go at it, at this point the car class is Unlimited as well.
Thanks, -Echo
@CB76565 May 1st if anything just let me know if you need more time, sorry going through flight school right now, things get busy fast. The reason why you need to let us know what class you want to use is because we're going to give a best of class. Just to be fair, If it's something like a Japanese LMP1 class race car, then it's a racecar. If you want to make an S2000 then classify it as a coupe. If you have not idea, that's cool, just let us know. This is a fun building event, build what you think looks good on wheels.
@CB76565 Hypercar L-1 Lena is my challenge craft.
@EchoWhiskey11 dude? come on, reply. I haven't got loads of time, i gotta rush or slow things down depending on your response. I'm waiting.
@olympus333 Is it the tank? Did you not read the vehicle class restrictions and all? there cant be any weapons. if it's the F1, damn cool build you made!
Please check my last craft
@EchoWhiskey11 yo, is this an AF joke? or are you fr?
@EchoWhiskey11 and by end of April, do you really mean 30th April?
@EchoWhiskey11 Uh no, I know where the class specifications are located. I was asking, Where should I put MY vehicle's class in my upload.
Do submissions have to be a successor to this post?
@EchoWhiskey11 sounds good, let me know if it happens :-)
@Kimfri As of now, no, but if we can get a decent turnout and everyone want to, then yes, we'll orchestrate a meetup. I'm still looking for a youtuber too to film the event, especially if we do a meetup in MP.
@CB76565 No worries, if it works, I'll stretch it out till end of April. For things like car specification, it doesn't have to be exact. If you look under Vehicle Class Restrictions you'll see a list of vehicle classes you can enter. Let me know if that helps.
