plein air rally
here's the concept: racers drive out to a predetermined area, paint a picture while there, then drive back to the starting point
race placement is determined by whoever gets back first with their painting; that result is combined in some way with a panel judgment of the painting to determine the overall winner of the event

@typhlosion too "you must be rich to play" for my socks
re: i just had an amazing and/or ridiculous idea
@efi the nice thing about this idea is that it scales to any vehicle you can race on while carrying art materials. plein air rallycross, on bikes! if you allow digital art, the art materials can get as small as a tablet!
re: i just had an amazing and/or ridiculous idea
@efi the whole origin of this idea was that someone mentioned they were doing an "art rally" (which is entirely different) and i didn't know what that was, so i imagined this chess-boxing-esque mashup of two incongruous things. that's really the important part, not the cars or the paints
re: i just had an amazing and/or ridiculous idea
@typhlosion I don't have a bike or a portable tablet
I guess the race location is my home
re: i just had an amazing and/or ridiculous idea
@efi hmmmmmm 🤔 valid
you could do a version of it in minecraft, perhaps, or some other such open-world game with modding capabilities

@typhlosion oooh!,
I’m now visualising ppl like being faster or slower at either task.
And it being silly themed racing veherckes over practical ones
