Chequered - A Story of Speed
« Thread Started on Jul 17, 2010, 12:42am »

Hello fellow ERs,

Now since Oscar is way too lazy to post something about this

. I will bring out what I'm planning on doing. Oscar and I have been discussing this for a bit now and I'm bringing this out to see if anyone else is interested in helping our little project

Ok. What's going on is that I've been watching a lot of BTCC and WTCC recently. And I got very very interested in touring cars. So I wanted to make a small net show around racing.

Think of it like a TV series but about racing. (There isnt a single tv show about racing and that's blasphemous

) How am I going to do this? Well first, the show is going to be drawn and it's going to be sequenced together to include voice work to make it seem live. It's very similar to Dead Space's promo net series when that game first came out.

Here, this is an example of what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rZ6v5jRFKQ

So I'm going to do that. But intercut it with footage of racing sims to complement the drawn cutscenes

As for games, we were originally thinking of GTR Evo because it was a fantastic looking game. However, the problem with GTR Evo is the fact that their crashes look...well...kinda lame

the chassis doesnt dent or bend. It can only fall off.

So we took a look at rFactor. With the right combo and video editing, rFactor can look really really cool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqUo3rxaXT4.

But we wanted to race with the WTCC Extreme cars that GTR Evo had. Now, it first seemed that we'll have to go with non-fictional cars and the RACE X mod for rFactor. But through a quick internet search, I had found out that someone had actually converted GTR Evo WTCC Extreme cars into rFactor. I was overjoyed and today I had already developed a race schedule.

If you guys have rFactor and would like to help us.
Here's an edited version (more sensitive damage + better AI) that we will use:

You can also get the original mod here if you want:

So. For now, we're planning on having Oscar and I be teammates that come on board a fresh new team. And we're going to have drama that will be similar to the Alonso v. Hamilton drama from the 07 season.

We still need a couple of more voice actors to fill some positions or maybe compete against Oscar and I in a rival team.

Our team's manufacture is BMW while the rival team will be Alfa Romero.

Here's the planned schedule (with awesome fictional tracks):

(Europe)
Essington Grand Prix (England)
Leeds and Bradford Airport (England)
Loch Rannoch (Scotland)
Livet Glen Wet (Scotland)
Vitus Parc (Switzerland)

(Americas)
Rattlesnake Point (Canada)
Orchard Park Grand Prix (US)
AllStar Greenway (US)
Thermalito (US)
Sardian Heights (US)
La Paloma Street Course (Uruguay)

(Asia)
Sugo Wet (Japan)
Goldenport Park (China)
Marina Bay (Singapore)

(Oceania)
Tuggeranong Town Centre (Australia)
Bathurst (Australia)

Here's some screenshots of what these insane touring cars look like:

Actually you dont need to voice act if you just wanna compete with Oscar and I. It's 100% better to have those who want to only drive to only drive and those who could only voice act, voice act. Cause if you dont have motivation to do either one, it'll be a disaster.

Besides, we need a few human drivers to compete with us cause the AI at times arent very competitive at all.

Also guys I have a crack that works online if you guys wanna get rFactor for free
