Default Video Game Based Reality TV

Seems like it might be kind of a cool idea. Take a video game like Forza Motorsport and turn the format into a tv series.


SpeedTV

The actual Forza Site

I don't know if anybody other than me watched it, but it was pretty cool for a first run. From this series, the biggest thing to learn was that there are real differences between cars built to seriously race and street cars . . . including so called sports cars. The Vette would have totally dominated most of the competition, but dropped the ball in the road race (which should have been it's primary strength!!) because it overheated and went into limp home mode; apparently because various power modifications were made without adding cooling capacity. I have a whole new respect for real endurance car racing a la Le Mans and ALMS.

Anyway, for a Pilot run, I think it was pretty cool and hope they'll do it again sometime. It'd be real interesting if they take XBox Forza stars and put them behind the wheel of real versions of what they race online. By interesting, I mean deadly.
