Indulge your inner bad driver part 2

I posted earlier about Thomas Scott's Real World Racer game where you take a Google map satellite image of a city and create a race track course from the image and then race pixel cars through the streets.

Well, the "Cork, Ireland: Twisty Island Dash" course has been added! - Thanks Tom.

You race from the new UCC extensions to the College of Commerce. I think its a legal route as well. I can see it being tried out on bike for the real Ride It Like You Stole It experience. Yellow (and Red & White) jersey anyone?

Indulge your inner bad driver

Crap game but... Thomas Scott created a Real World Racer game. Its actually quite an inspired Google map hack.

Take the satellite image level of a city, create a track layout... and race pixel cars through the streets. No sound effects but as the game says "for maximum enjoyment, make "bvvv, bvvvvv" noises as you accelerate and "EEEEE" noises as you turn".

I suspect its impossible to win, but who wants to be the first to lay out the Morrison Island (Cork City's Island) track.

Will

Update : The "Cork, Ireland: Twisty Island Dash" course has been added! - Thanks Tom.
