and as research platform. It runs on Linux (x86, AMD64 and PPC),
FreeBSD, MacOSX and Windows. And the best: It's free... The source code

The
'Power Smart'
Why the hell a 'Smart Car' as a racing car
for TORCS ? Well, I stumbled over Andreas
Viktorsson's 'Smart Project' diary
. He had the crazy idea to mount a Kawasaki ZZR1100 engine together
with a turbocharger into his Smart ForTwo. Power ? Two
options, depending on the set-up:
220hp and 270hp... As I will never have the funds to build or buy such
a car and more important, to get it road legal in my country, I decided
to purchase such a car for the TORCS simulator. That's it !
The rpm was build on openSUSE 10.3 and installs into '/usr/share/games/torcs/cars'. You
will find the car in the 'free' category aftrewards. If it doesn't work
on your distribution, try the .zip file above instead.
