BeamNG.drive has released another 'Teaser Tuesday' hint for their upcoming update, and rally fans will be pleasantly surprised. The East Coast USA map appears to feature rally props and a countdown screen.
The latest preview of BeamNG's upcoming 0.35 update shows new rally stage props, timing screens, and gazebo setups. The previous update added the simple 'Rally' mode, but this new teaser seems to imply that more structured rally content is on the way.

The main issue with incorporating a realistic rally setup into a title like BeamNG is the implementation of pace notes. No other noises, sounds, or voices are present in the title outside of what you hear from the environment and the vehicles. Adding a voice would mean creating a character, so could the pace notes be AI-generated? Or, at a minimum, read by an AI voice?
The modded version of BeamNG's rally pace notes is AI-generated, so using this software and simply finishing it off with BeamNG's usual flair and precision could be a great way to implement a feature essential for the rally genre. It is safe to say the community is majoritively happy to see more rally-style content!
The rally content added in the 0.34 update was a good start; the uphill tarmac stage, especially, was a highlight. However, the Jungle Rock Island stage was more suited to a rock crawler than a rally car. This new update makes the stages look much more professional, with props and proper rally-style timing.
