Race Fans Wet Dream

iOpener race technology
So you think you can lay the whoop arse on Lewis Hamilton? Do you think you could do laps around Danica Patrick cause she's a girl? Well soon, you might have a chance to find out with a new GPS technology by iOpener that will enable you to virtually race top drivers in real time via your game console or PC. Basically, the company's technology will track the location and speed of a race car in an actual live race, which will then be streamed to wannabe racers world-wide. iOpener will not actually develop their own games but rather license the technology to other developers. Of course, there is still a slight difference between risking life and limb rocketing down a real race track in an F-1 race car and sitting on your Mom's couch in front of your Xbox.
