🏎️ Team Racer Introduction no.1 🏎️
Sougetsu Murasaki - Racer Number #1103 🟣
Sougetsu is a player who transitioned from Forza Horizon to Assetto Corsa, initially drifting with a keyboard and later using a Thrustmaster T150. His idol is Naoki Nakamura, and favorite car is Matt Field's S14.5 . Since Forza Horizon 4 in 2018, he has driven this car model continuously, and in Assetto Corsa, he has modified the S14.5 model 12 times and adjusted the chassis data 40 times.
He enjoys modifying vehicles and improving his driving skills. This passion has led him to master modding, graphic design, data scripting, track analysis, video shooting, photography, equipment setup, and programming (basically, anything he can learn).
Currently, he uses a SIMAGIC Alpha Mini paired with META Q3 VR and an NRG purple steering wheel.
He frequently posts various videos and photos on Instagram and plans to start creating tutorial videos in the second half of the year

Although Sougetsu's drifting skills in simulators are above average in Taiwan, he has yet to achieve good results in international competitions. His goal is to compete in real car races, which require different skills than esports, necessitating more extended practice. His mentor is Taiwanese drifter Xu Yuyao #45, who has been guiding him in real car techniques since 2022, using a 3UZ 240SX.

🏎️ Team Racer Introduction no.2🏎️
Chen Lin - Racer Number #171 🟠
Chen Lin is a well-known joystick player of CarX in Taiwan, with his favorite drift driver being James Deane. Since the beginning, he has driven James Deane vehicles, owning a total of six different versions of the S14.9.
Currently, he uses a SIMAGIC Alpha Mini setup with a single monitor and an overhead view configuration (planned to upgrade to Meta VR in the second half of the year). His steering wheel is the same model as James Deane's NRG steering wheel.
He often takes orders on Instagram, helping other players and drivers with photography. IG: @chenlin.171
Chen Lin's drifting skills are still in the training phase, with a goal of participating in real car competitions, rather than esports events. His instructor is Sougetsu Murasaki, a teammate.

Our team is currently working on developing some new projects, led by myself in collaboration with our team member @johnny.shi.1213@johnny.shi.1213 is a code engineer in our NarakaTech team. Back in 2023, he worked at the SVR RACING sim racing store, where he was responsible for developing a competition scoring system (similar to Wally). He also served as the lead project software engineer hired by the company at the time.
Back to the main topic—🔥
This is a camera object that can be mounted on a vehicle and automatically aligns itself with the vehicle’s direction of movement.
The design and development were inspired by a similar structural concept seen in videos by @lex_or_lov , and we also consulted with well-known Taiwanese photographer @hedin_hoddle for additional input on the production process.
At this stage, we’ve completed the initial version of the object, including the model of the Insta360 X5 and the foundational planar movement data for the overall structure.
Next, we’ll begin working on an accompanying app for the camera, as well as developing a cinematic-grade front-mounted vehicle camera system, including both the object and its physical behavior.
This will take some time, as the entire software architecture will be built and designed from scratch.
We expect to release it on @vosanco within this year.
initial estimate is that the price will not exceed $5 USD (including the full object and camera physics), though the final pricing will be updated later.
Stay tuned💯

The newly designed
S14.5 front center console - NRKCC (CyberConsole)
also includes several improvements to areas that needed refinement in the previous version.
The digital rearview mirror has been upgraded to a larger size.
The digital instrument cluster has been redesigned and repositioned behind the steering wheel for easier viewing, displaying parameters such as tire temperature, gear position, and vehicle speed.
This design was inspired by various vehicle interior styles from the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, but it has been simplified into a cleaner look with no unnecessary parameters or excessive lighting.
The steering wheel angle has also been readjusted to match the angle of my simulator setup. The positions of the gear shifter and handbrake now also correspond to real-world hardware spacing and ergonomics😊
Upgrade or Reborn ?
The Murasaki Lycoris S14.5 is undergoing its biggest rebirth project of the year.
This time, not a single part of the car remains from the original model. The body design takes inspiration from the previous version, but adopts a concept similar to a one-piece fiberglass and carbon fiber construction. Although the overall shape has been significantly changed, the visual identity of the previous generation is still clearly recognizable.
The front and rear lighting systems have also been completely redesigned. The original “eye-style” headlights have been replaced with modern strip-shaped LED lights, while the rear brake lights now feature a Cyberpunk 2077-inspired design, similar to the JZX200.
For the rear, a ducktail spoiler has been chosen, replacing the previously exaggerated large wing. The goal this time is to create a cleaner overall aesthetic. I’m also considering whether to design a race-style livery for this generation.
As for the interior, components such as the dashboard, seats, tires, and engine mod are directly carried over from the JZX200. Even the chassis data is shared, allowing for seamless transition between the two cars without significantly affecting driving feel or technique.
This car is now six years old. It has been with me since Forza Horizon 4, through my journey from keyboard driving, to controller, to belt-driven steering wheels, and finally to direct drive systems.
Moving forward, I hope to spend more time gradually refining the finer details of the car.
