How to Start Racing on BeamMP with BeamApex

From vanilla install to your first green flag shootout. Follow this quick 5-step checklist to join hundreds of competitive drivers on our dedicated BeamNG racing servers.

Install BeamNG.drive on Steam

Ensure you have an official, up-to-date copy of BeamNG.drive installed via Steam. Launch the game in single-player at least once after installing so the game can configure its user folders in your documents directory.

Recommended: Configure your force-feedback wheel or gamepad inputs before launching multiplayer.

Download & Install the BeamMP Launcher

BeamMP is the free, community-standard multiplayer client for BeamNG.drive. Visit the official website, download the launcher executable, and run the automated setup wizard.

Tip: When starting your session, always run the BeamMP-Launcher.exe instead of starting vanilla BeamNG directly from Steam.

Search "BeamApex" in the Server Browser

Launch the game via BeamMP. In the main menu, click Play → Multiplayer. In the search filter, type "BeamApex". You will see all official BeamApex servers with real-time ping, player counts, and active track rotations.

// Available server formats in the browser:

• [US/EU] BeamApex | Daily Ranked Sprint Series

• [US/EU] BeamApex | GT3 & Touring Car Championship

• [US/EU] BeamApex | Continuous Time Attack Hotlaps

Automated Mod Synchronization

When you click connect, BeamMP automatically verifies and downloads all required custom tracks, liveries, and vehicle balancing mods. No manual drag-and-drop zip management is required. Subsequent connections to the same track load instantly from cache.

You can review upcoming tracks and track details in our curated maps directory.
