Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

I am a huge "left turn fanatic" as people like to tell me, and upon seeing this year's game design, it inspired me to paint a NASCAR in celebration of this years game. hope you like it!

Love it.
Check my sig that I have had for 3 +/- years.

Nice. What is that from? (I'm assuming a video game)
I might paint a plane (or two) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 in an Overdrive theme... Just have to work around CAD for our team.

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

I took the template from the Game "NASCAR Racing season 2003" and edited it with Photoshop

I've been playing that for a long time and when i saw yesterday's kickoff, i just felt like that car needed to be painted.

Should have used blue or red instead of black on the car.

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

Haha, awesome! Too bad '03 didn't have the Car of Tommorrow as a template option.

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

Should be number 47...

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

Then the car would have too be black, orange and white.

How did you get a hold of my robot designs?!

342 is way ahead of you. Got board during winter break.

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

Meh, i wasnt going for a team designed car, even though i do have one that i made when we first started up 3 years ago...I really liked the concept of a FIRST themed NASCAR and I finally found a reason to Paint one

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

Nascar was one of the first things i though when the unveiled this years competitions...... silly left turns... they hurt right turns feelings :rolleyes:

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

How did you know that our 2008 robot looks exactly like a Nascar?

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

This is awesome

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

THAT would be pretty sick. my team would do that, but then our other strategies wouldnt work...

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

i HATE nascar :eek:

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

SO seeing that this years game is "sort of" a product from NASCAR, you hate FIRST as well?? LOL

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

Nice turn around....I can never figure out why anyone could hate NASCAR and think it's not a sport

NASCAR is just too slow... A Champ Car at Fontana could average over 241mph... About 45mph faster than a Stock Car... And FIRST makes me think High Tech. Open Wheel cars with 2.65L Turbocharged V8's that make 750hp... Thats what this game makes me think... Except on a Milwaukee Mile level....

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

On a slightly related note, how about this:


Did that yesterday for Microsoft Flight Simulator 9 (AKA FS2004). The plane is a Project Open Sky 737-800. Used Photoshop to make the paint. I still need to do some work... the text on the tail is a bit squashed, I need some Boeing stuff (just below the rear window, it should say "BOEING 737-800"), and I need to fix the engine alpha channel so it's not completely shiny. Also, there are a few antennae that aren't painted, so I either need to replace the visual model with something that has matching antennae, or paint them.

Please do not forget about BASKETBALL!. Think about Dean's homework. Bring in the media and bring out an audience. What two sports are very popular: NASCAR and BASKETBALL. The NASCAR references are: a track, high speed, points for doing a lap, penalties for bad driving etc. etc. The BASKETBALL references are: over and back penalties, free throw's, dribbling, ball control, foul points, two point and three point shots, hail mary shot at the end with an opportunity to defend etc. etc.

If you begin to think of this as a race and a basketball game you can devise both offensive and deffensive strategies. The years game should be a blast to participate in and watch as a spectator!

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

very nice! im working on a picture right now of a car of tommorow, with a different yet equally cool design. ill post it shortly.

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

Nice paint job! Maybe we'll see it on the hood of a real NASCAR one of these years...

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

Team 48's done - Jimmie Johnson has us covered. ;)

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

I'm NASCAR fan too! and when i saw the video I laughed and said "Wow Up versioned of nascar!:ahh:

Re: Overdrive inspired NASCAR
 

Looks great guys, but one minor detail. I doubt that BMW will ever enter the M3 in NASCAR, haha. I love the M3 side vents on the car though, looks great!

Where are your required bumpers?
