Who says gamers can't make direct contributions? Ford certainly doesn't believe so and has asked for gamers to help it build a virtual racing car. This project is likely done to strengthen the brand recognition for Team Fordzilla, the company's esports team that was set up for Forza Motorsport.
According to the Twitter announcement, Team Fordzilla will hold a series of polls to gauge gamers' preference when it comes to virtual racing cars. For example, the first poll asked whether gamers prefer having a co-driver or drive solo. It's likely that Ford will only be using these poll results in certain areas to help with the major decision areas of the design. However, that's not a 100% guarantee.
Currently, there are no other details on what Ford has planned, except that the design will not be based on any existing real-life models. The finalised vehicle will be called Team Fordzilla P1 and will be used by the Fordzilla esports team in competitions for Forza Motorsport.
Have you managed to check out the polls and vote for them yet? What do you think the ultimate virtual racing car should look like? Let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more news.
