I was looking at a display of Hot Wheels the other day and remember that I'd been wanting to find/play a futurisic racing game.
I can't think of any modern car racing games besides Gaslands... and most of the older ones I know of are also aimed at Mad Max (or Deathrace) style action.
In particular, I'd like a game that was more centered on racing than combat... lighter spirit... and no guns/missiles on cars. Kind of like the Formula 1 boardgame from Waddingtons... but wilder, more scifi, like Speed Racer and his supercar. Also with more flexibility and RPG elements (I could go for a not-Speed Racer RPG with a fun racing system).
So, a system for creating high tech race cars, new tracks and random events... and a campaign system for running race circuits.
Maybe something with stats for pit crew and drivers... borderline RPG personal drama effecting driving skills.
Not that there would be no conflict at all... Speed Racer was full of cars forcing others off the road or pulling nasty tricks... but it wasn't Gaslands.
Any thoughts on this? Could Gaslands be easily tweaked to such a thing?
EDIT: It occurs to me that this might best be handled by some mecha combat/RPG system... like Mekton, but focused on cars/racing.
