Critic's Pick — 'First Person Fantasies: Video Game Cars'

From F1 to Forza, racing is depicted as a larger-than-life experience in which professionals — or players — drift, glide and speed toward the finish line. Lane Motor Museum’s First Person Fantasies exhibit takes this impossible feeling and makes it accessible. Cars like the Peel P50, the MG Metro 6R4 and beyond are on exhibit at the museum. Although these cars have been in the location’s collection for some time, they are now organized and showcased specifically through the lens of gaming. The vehicles are featured alongside gameplay clips from some of racing’s most popular video game adaptations, emphasizing the transition from gaming to the real world. While gaming has evolved in recent years — like with the usage of virtual reality technology to simulate racing real-time laps against Formula 1 racers, for instance — there is nothing like witnessing these cars in person. Avid gamers, longtime racing fans and car junkies alike can find satisfaction in these sleek vehicles from the screen brought to life.
