Driven Till Destruction - Proving Grounds #18 - BeamNG Drive

[@the-yume]

The fact that that one set of pipes stayed for the entire journey is almost as impressive as the results that the van got

[@JRSmith06]

~30 minute Driven Till Destruction vid. ~25 minutes is van being mighty. I approve.

[@mikeblatzheim2797]

Having skipped ahead a bit, that Van was ridiculously impressive

[@fuckngreat8955]

Skipping ahead comes with its price! You have to watch the rest too, and you have to watch all ads to the end 😂😂😂

[@lptomtom]

These are always the same: just skip to the big jump, it will snap the driveshafts of RWD cars and damage the others. This is a shit track.

Little known fact: BeamCom vans often say at the back, "No Tools Left In This Van Overnight. Or Ladders. Or Pipes. Or a driveshaft, or a roof, or doors, or a chassis for that matter..."

[@LexusLFA554]

The flapping roof rack on the van along with the pipes sticking out the back was really funny to watch. Oh man, I love this series.

[@DownundaThunda]

"Don't think the ESC has anything to do with the suspension." when the Cherrier Vivace and Tograc were introduced, their ESCs are more comprehensive than previous cars. The Charriers do have adaptive suspension components, which have several settings, depending on the ESC configuration. Weather or not the Tograc E had this adaptive suspension, I don't know.

Every other BeamNG Drive vehicle is gangsta until the H25 van takes to the Proving Ground... 23 km (14.3 mi) is a supreme effort! FR DTD is a great series, keep up the good work :)

That Van, in simple terms, went through 14 laps of Hell. GG!

[@1mariomaniac]

14 miles*

[@Retro-uw5ie]

24:25 does anyone else remember those hot wheels cars that would pop their top off when you hit them? That is my only current thought.

[@CaptainJoeBoss]

Yes and they are called Hot wheels crashers

[@Cobra_427]

ah yes the crashers, I had those when I was younger, there was one that would tear open just like the van did and do a barrel roll if you t boned it with another one

25:32 Hey look, it's a new HotWheels car! Honestly though, as the van kept getting more and more damaged, before the left rear door was removed from the vehicle, it somehow reminded me of the Brubaker Box 😅

[@lucasunger1020]

Wow, that was one tough van. The first vehicle to have its body frame come free of its chassis, I think? Perhaps the second. Either way, that van was a real soldier, took a hell of a beating and kept on chugging away. That will be a tough act to follow for pretty much the rest of the series I feel.

I think if he pulled the body off the chassis of the van it would still steer the tire stood up so the body was interfering with it so that would be a instance that removing bodywork to allow it to continue would be valid. Yes it would just be a frame but would be hilarious.
