One: The new NSX. Fuck you, I’m gonna have two of it. One in white and another in blue, the latter I’ll hack up and the innards transplanted to an old NSX. Again, fuck you.
Two: Matech Competition. I want them to run the new Ford GT in Le Mans along with Chip Ganassi Racing. For Switzerland.
Three: Man, it’s hard to do a bridge in LEGO, especially if I want to follow the Architecture line. Getting the cables and supports is such a demented challenge, and the solutions I come up with are too chunky. Beam bridges look easy, but they’re too flat and boring... unless I can make it not so. Can you find me an actually beautiful regular beam or girder bridge without cable stays?
Four: What’s happening in a world where McLaren is a New Zealand car company, not British?
Five: Why is there so few racing games that allow you to make your own race track? It’s the best feature any race game can have.
Six: The blokes that did Surgeon Simulator for iPad finally made that one app the Apple Watch deserves. It’s called Spy_Watch, and I think it’s about damn time that went up. The actual game leaves much to be desired, but hey, better than nothing. Now if only the MI6 makes one...
Seven: i09’s doing !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and Oppo can do something like this. But with Top Gear-isms. Though it’d be a long search to find concept art worthy of being a snippet of a Top Gear special, though cars to review are easier to find. I think TG’s new production office, shown above, is a good start.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Eight: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , but I think the Honda S2000 is the most Jaguar E-type. And that the Renault Twingo is the most AMC Pacer. I could be wrong, though.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
And lastly, The Stig will win against Racer X . Don’t ask me, I just know. It’s gut feel.
And there. I’ve thought too much.

Project Gotham Racing 3 lets you make your own street circuits.

Is it any good?
EDIT: Found a video, it is good.

It’s an older game, but it’s fun. It’s really more of an arcade racer.

Musing 1: That deep blue that the NA2 NSX was available in is one of the finest blues ever, I really hope that’s the one they use for the new one.
I’m usually not one for speculation, but: Do you think this new NSX well be well-received? So many comments I find on here, Jalop, C&D, various British websites, seem to follow the lines of A) The exterior isn’t that great looking, B) The interior has a lot of shared components with lesser Hondas, and C) A lot of people seem to think it’s priced too high/will be ignored at that price point.
Not trying to be negative, I certainly hope it succeeds! But it just doesn’t seem to me that it has the same excitement/enthusiasm surrounding it as, say, the R35 GTR did pre-launch.
Musing 4: Can you explain this one more? It sounds interesting. I would be very much interested in seeing more car companies from Australia and New Zealand, (actually, basically anything from the Southern Hemisphere)
Musing 5: A good point! Wasn’t the latest (or maybe the next?) Gran Turismo supposed to have some feature where you put a PS Vita in your pocket, and then using GPS or something it maps your commute and then turns that into a racetrack?
I’ve seen a ton of people complain about how the Forza Horizon series doesn’t have any kind of “waypoint editor” so that you can create your own races after you complete the game. That’s stunning to me because it’s not like the game has to render any additional detail, right? It’s just new waypoints placed on the pre-existing world map.

It has to do with Bruce McLaren being a Kiwi.

Oh I see what you mean, it’s sort of like that funny distinction of “If a band has 4 different members, each from a different country, and they form in 5th country…what nationality is the band?”
I guess it relates to whether one associates a company’s origin with the origin of the person who started it, or the origin of the corporate entity itself. For instance, Ettore Bugatti was a Francophone, the original factory was in Alsace, France, but a lot of people think it’s an Italian company because for a time the factory was in Italy.

Swell.
Now who do you think will win: The Stig driving the Koenigsegg Regera or Racer X? And why?

If you have the time you could build something like this in Trackmania (aka adult mario kart)

I’ve been playing Trackmania for some time now. It’s why I said “so few racing games”. I know of some games, Trackmania topping the list, that have track editors.
