pedal work + turn-in for the initial d drift? </p><p>you&#39;re being told what is coming two or three encounters ahead of you, like your codriver is telling you in two turns you will have a right handed hairpin, so you need to make sure you keep or draw cards which will let you bring down your speed with the smallest possible momentum spend. </p><p>in each section of the stage you&#39;d have the chance to draw negative effects like gravel, or surprise frost, spectator on stage, etc and depending on the running order you could be facing more negative effects than if you were further down the starting order. going first means you have to clear the layer of dust and dirt off the road for the cars behind you to go quicker and deal with sort of status effects like that as a way to rubberband the leader. kind of cheeky </p><p>in between each special stage you have the ability to make certain tunes to your car which will change you deck layout; in service park you could have an extended deck restructuring session and maybe some silly interlude stuff between the other drivers, like there could/would be a seasonal meta-progression where you&#39;re interacting with other drivers or teams in your paddock or choosing to ignore the social/networking aspect of the championship to focus on improving your car, but if you end up in a ditch the car behind you may not stop to help you put out the fire in the engine bay. game over, or not if you&#39;re palling around the service park more. </p><p>is this a thing? is this a game or is it a weird art project? i bet i could make a text-only prototype of this. the final version could either be a mix of onboard footage still art and static camera shots of a model car traveling through the procedurally generated corner as its own scene? you&#39;d be able to commission a bunch of really cool art scenes of like kenya and finland and monaco to drop car models on to. like, if you do it carefully you could use actual stages are inspiration </p><p>there&#39;s modes of this where you are playing in a car which has low speed stats but you have a lot more focus and momentum to work with like the classic Mini Cooper, group a monsters where you constantly feel like you&#39;re out of focus and driving on the edge (of the tree-line), and the WRC cars today that are all amped out everything turned to 11. </p><p>could also be <a href="//whatthefuck.computer/dumb-ideas#20220808T165910.231920">Rally Strand Game</a>?
