Making my RC Car and Track into a Racing Computer Game

Visit my site: http://www.alphalanding.com/rc-track
It seemed like a fun idea to build a drive-able computer car racing game based on our R/C backyard track and our Subaru Tamiya Rally car. Needless to say that it does not come even close to any of today's Xbox360 or PS3 games, but that wasn't the point in the first place. Driving my own track on the computer while looking at the "real thing" out of the window still makes me happy :-)
With the initial experience and all the measurements taken I am really tempted to build the whole thing on XNA Express to make it playable on the 360. I am afraid they will have released 3 new models of the 360 until I figure it all out though...

I used TORCS. (just google the term torcs)

Torcs is a multi platform car racing simulation. It is used as ordinary car racing game, as AI racing game and as research platform. It runs on Linux (x86, AMD64 and PPC), FreeBSD, MacOSX and Windows.

It's "TORCS: The Open Racing Car Simulator", so try racing this with offroad car bots.
