Introduction

Hello Rigs of Rods fans,

Let me itroduce myself. My name is Michał and i'm 24 years old. I am computer programist rising the power of the big computer corporation :P I live in Gdańsk which is a city placed on the baltic coast in Poland. I am a huge racing and sim-racing fan. I was spending quite a lot of time playing hardcore sims. I really enjoyed Live For Speed and iRacing, that I race currently. I came across ROR on LFS forum. The game has made a very good impression on me because of the spring physics it uses for vehicle simulation. It was the time I was using the same methods for cloth simulation and I was surprised that spring physics can be used for rigid (actually semi-rigid) bodies as well.

As it turned out, it was quite easy to create new vehicles for the game. I used to have much more time than now and as a big fan of muscle cars I created the white Dodge Challenger that was included in official realese of ROR ( well, till 0.36 version ).

As I am no big fan of cruising around I started using the time trial's to race the clock in small cars. I find the small hill-climb track on Island map very atractive so i decided to hit the road and find out what vehicles are the fastest on this twisty road. 

I will post reviews of cars you can find in ROR and on the ROR repository. I will concentrate on how they behave on the small twisty track. What are their good and bad sides. I am no Stig so the times will not be perfect so I will try to write down the best section times and sum them up to find out what would be a perfect lap.

All right, time to hit the road. I will post a small guide of the track in the following post.

Waiting for your comments.

Regards

ps. Im sorry for not the best english. I will make this blog a little excercise for my english writing skills :D
