I pulled another racing game out of storage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was a Kickstarter from a couple of years ago.\u00a0 The oddest part of the reward was the painted metal cars add-on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nice cars, but the main player color cars are orange, red, white, black, blue, and purple.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Plus I ordered a half dozen metal cars to use from Eureka Miniatures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I’ll be painting the metal ones from Eureka Miniatures in the 6 appropriate colors.\u00a0 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).<\/p>\n

Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
