BeamNG.Drive is one of themost realistic driving simulator gamesout there. What makes this game so fun is not just its realistic physics but also its variety of cars and maps, which are the best parts of any racing game.
Although there are also plenty of map mods available for this game that provide custom maps to race on, the original maps are still well-designed and a lot of fun. This list will rank some of the best maps present in BeamNG Drive based on how fun they are to drive on and the variety of environments they offer.
10Industrial Site
This map consists of an industrial site alongside the coast with a lot of small racetracks for you to race on.This is perhaps one of the most underrated maps in the gameas its tracks are a lot of fun, but it doesn’t get as much love within the community.
Apart from these racetracks, there is still a lot of stuff to explore on this map, such as the industrial buildings which contain some cool jumps you can find. There is also a stunt track where you can have some fun.
9Utah
Utah might look like the most boring map on this list as it’s set in a desert with not much to do, but it is still the favorite of a lot of players. What makesthis map so goodis the freeway, which allows you to test out your fastest cars in a great setting.
There are also plenty of dirt tracks along with a lot of hilly terrain on this map as expected, where you may test out your off-roading skills. While this map doesn’t have too many buildings to explore, there are still some canyons and small outposts you can check out.
8East Coast
East Coast is another America-based map in BeamNG Drive that is based on the states of Maine and New Hampshire. This map portrays a typical small American lakeside town which is fun to explore at first but can get quite boring after a while.
There are also some detached houses on the outskirts of the town, as well as a sawmill and a watch tower. What makes this map fun to play is its forest roads. These are enjoyable to race across and also include some dirt tracks leading deeper into the forest, which can be fun and creepy at the same time.
7Hirochi Raceway
Hirochi Raceway is quite different from the other maps on this list as it is completely based around a racecourse rather than a full town or island. But still, this raceway is very intricate and contains a lot of well-made tracks.
These different tracks make it the best map in the game for drifting and time trials.If you’re looking to head into the multiplayer servers of the game, thengetting some practice on this map is a great idea.
6Gridmap V2
Gridmap V2 is by far the best map in the game if you want to try out some stunts and are notlooking for a realistic experience. This map contains plenty of items and obstacles, such as ramps, slopes, tunnels, stairs, and anything else that can be used to perform jumps.
This is also the perfect map if you want to try out some car modsas they can allow you to go even faster across these jumps and be even faster on the racing track.
5Johnson Valley
If you thought Utah or the East Coast made for some good off-roading practice, then Johnson Valley takes it to a much higher level. This map is full of rocky and dirt terrain with barely any proper roads in it.
This map is not for everyone as most people probably won’t enjoy riding across the dunes and hills, but a lot of people still like it. Even though most of the map is completely isolated, there is still some civilization in the form of trailer parks and gas stations that provide some places to explore.
4Small Island
Small Island is one of the smallest maps in the game, but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun. This island is also one of thetop choices for fans of off-roading and rock-crawlingas it contains plenty of hilly terrain that is fun to scale.
There iseven a caveon this map that you can explore and crawl through. The relatively quiet and serene vibe of this map makes for a relaxing and peaceful drive where you can take in its beautiful environment.
3Jungle Rock Island
Jungle Rock Island is a map set in a dense jungle. Although it might not look like the most in-depth map, there is still a lot of stuff to explore in it. There are many abandoned buildings and bunkers, which has led many players to theorize about the lore of this map and speculate how it came to be this way.
In terms of exploration, there is a dockyard, a lighthouse, and a dam that you can check out on your ride. This is also a great map fortesting out your stronger cars as it includes a lot of muddy terrain and dirt tracks.
2Italy
Italy is perhaps the nicest-looking map in the game and is based in a small Italian town on a mountainous coast near the Mediterranean Sea. Driving across the narrow Italian streets is quite fun and challenging as itprovides a different experience than most of the other maps in the game.
This is also the largest map in the game and is the best one if you are looking for a peaceful drive across some beautiful terrain, including amazing mountain ranges, the coast, or the serene countryside.
1West Coast, USA
West Coast, USA is the most popular map in the gameand is based in Oakland, California. This map does a great job of reflecting the environment of California and has everything you could want from a BeamNG map.
There are realistic buildings, different types of terrain, including mountains and forests, and even an industrial area for you to explore. There are alsoplenty of racing tracks on this map, including a dirt track and an extremely fun drift track.
