I pulled another racing game out of storage.

This was a Kickstarter from a couple of years ago.  The oddest part of the reward was the painted metal cars add-on.

Nice cars, but the main player color cars are orange, red, white, black, blue, and purple.

The game adds extra AI cars in black (2, superfast), yellow (3, fast) and purple (3, slow), so it’s odd that a couple of player colors are also AI colors.

But looking at the painted metal cars set, there’s no blue or orange, two pairs of white/light grey, and green, which are neither a player or AI car color.

Plus the fact that the non-AI cars come in pairs, when all you’re running is a single car in this game, not a team of 2, is odd.

I went ahead and 3D printed some replacement cars (based on an upscaled file for a Formula D car) plus a bunch of 1964-era F1 cars in the approximate scale/size.

Plus I ordered a half dozen metal cars to use from Eureka Miniatures.

First car is from the first edition of Race! Formula 90, second car is the plastic one from the 2nd edition, 3rd is a painted car from Eureka Miniatures.

I’ll be painting the metal ones from Eureka Miniatures in the 6 appropriate colors.  I may have to look into paint schemes from the 1980s-90s for these cars, because of their styling (there’s a small air intake above the cockpit).

Stay tuned!
