Outrun by Jordan F: Surfing the memories of the 80s

Some of you may know I am nuts for electro and 80s synth music.  Contemporary group Jordan F does some really nice homage to the sound of that era, but I erally love this Outrun video. To think of the endless quarters I spent playing that game...

C.A.R.S - The most beautiful looking vintage sim ever?

I've played a lot of sims in my day, starting with Grand Prix II, Indy Car Racing 2, through Grand Prix Legends and more recently GT Legends. But as far as vintage racing goes, I have yet to see a more richly detailed, gorgeous looking in-car view than in the new C.A.R.S (Community Assisted Race Sim) pre- alpha tests, which are still very much a work in progress. I think the lighting, in particular, is some of the most lifelike I have seen, and the sensation of speed is really phenomenal. I haven't gotten a chance to download and play the game yet, but watching this sim progress is very exciting, and new videos are popping up on youtube weekly. Enjoy a few of my favorites (recommend you expand them to full screen at 1080p and crank the speakers up!):
