#250 The Canadian Grand Prix, business as usual? We look forward to the Le Mans 24 Hours. Gaming and driving, closer than ever? Sniff Petrol on Alain Prost’s peanut butter the ACO and Honda. New music: Fake Bit Polytechnic perform "Drive To The Horizon".
Fake Bit Polytechnic – Drive To The Horizon
I'm sick of the city, sick of the routine
Endlessly commuting through a web of one-way streets
Then I'm bored of being at home, bored of the TV
Bored of all the boxsets stacked up on the screen
I've got to get away, got to see things differently
I don't have a car - but I've got a PS3.
So I am driving, driving, right to the horizon
Driving through the night in a bunch of racing games
Driving, driving, eating up the miles
In cars I can't afford, at speeds I can't maintain
There's no cameras, no roadworks, no sirens, no alarms
It's all fun fun fun on the virtual autobahn.
Arcade mode is for losers, driver training's not for me
All the way from Pole Position through to Monaco GP
I'm revving the controller, zooming off the start
I'm like the Michael Schumacher of Super Mario Kart
Then there's all the DLC for a Burnout marathon
Gaining so much distance on the world I'm running from.
That's why I'm driving, driving, right to the horizon
Driving through the night in a bunch of racing games
Driving, driving, eating up the miles
In cars I can't afford, at speeds I can't maintain
Don't need a licence, or insurance, or a spare wheel in the boot
It's all cool, cool, cool on the virtual autoroute.
Now the sun's coming up
And the action's winding down
There's not a world-class circuit
That I haven't been around
So if your regular existence lacks autonomy and power
Try going round in circles - at 140 miles an hour.
