Fans come up with interesting ideas while Joe Gibbs’ team goes ahead with their gravity experiment!
In their recent Instagram post, the team showed its loyal fans something peculiar. The team had developed a simulation for the #19 car, which is then seen being tested in various planets’ gravities.
But it doesn’t stop there. Using the sophisticated and realistic BeamNG application, the team created an ultra-realistic simulation of their race car falling on a big cement block.
Using the top of the line physics engine, the creators have put the poor car through almost every planet’s gravitational domain, from the largest in our solar system to the small and most distant one!

The distinctive feature that sets BeamNG apart is its seamless and authentic physics engine that shows each component in the car simulated in real-time using mass points and beams.
While JGR thought about putting the car through several inhospitable conditions, even the sun, fans quickly jumped on the bandwagon, suggesting quirky ideas.
