MMORPGs, Second Life, Virtual Worlds
Second Life Racing: Midgets, Virtual Supercars, and Atrocious Game Play
Recently, I came across a Sportbike and Formula1 racing trend in Second Life. The experience for me was something less than exciting… and perhaps a little depraved. I had no idea that SL had cars, let alone racing circuits.
The first SL race track that I competed on was entirely in Italian, so I kinda blew it off as merely an activity only Italians do due to their apparent predisposition to fast cars.
But after a bit of link-hopping I found that this trend is more widespread than I originally assumed. There’s even a midget racing circuit.
Naturally, a race wouldn’t be complete without SL’s news and TV organizations providing video coverage of tournament SLASCAR races.
