DragTag - Race your own car in a video game

Don't know if this is a repost but I thought some of you would find this cool. It is a simulated circuit and drag video game where you use your own car in front of a huge screen.



http://site.dragtag.com.au/index.php

The video is pretty cool, look under What is drag tag > Drag tag video.

They also keep logs of everyone who has raced and you can look at a picture of the car and specs. Someone races their 84 RX-7 about 50 times a week =]

I can't think of a better way to overheat your car. Even a dyno has fans.

Yeah, I also thought it was weird that there were no fans.

I really don't know what to think except, a rotary would be very hard to keep cool like that.

Actually It looks like it would be smelly in there.

I think it's more for people that don't want to wait 4 hours to make a 12 second run.
...Not for the people that want to play Need for speed underground.
