If you win, you become a driver for the next race and the announcers will be calling out your name. “The way it works is, if you send a car in to race, you’re a sponsor,” Derek explains. They’re the same Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars of yore. Here’s to the inner child in all of us!”Īll of his aforementioned track accessories are 3D printed, hence the name 3DBotMaker, but the race cars are not. Our goal is to spread the fun of diecast racing, and remind everyone that you’re never too old to play with your toys. Over the years, 3DBotMaker has grown into a product line of track accessories and a diecast racing channel. “It was a simple set (a clamp, a few feet of track and a jump) but it sparked a big passion for diecast racing. “3DBotMaker started when I bought my son his first Hot Wheels track,” he writes on the 3DBotMaker about page. It’s all the brainchild of a man named Adriel Johnson, who runs 3DBotMaker, which operates the racing league. They also have their own storied names like Race Canyon and Race Mountain Speedway. Meanwhile, the tracks are elaborately designed, landscaped and decorated with figurines like tiny traffic cones. As for the races themselves, they’re either of the rally variety (which, given all the crashes, are my favorite) or between any type of cars you can think of - Ferraris, classic muscle cars, 1970s vans, etc. They describe the scene with all the confidence you’d expect from a Formula One broadcast, even providing contentious histories between rival drivers or between certain cars and the track. The two announcers, known as 3D and 2D, are great. And the camerawork? They’ve got like five cameras, and there’s a robot camera on the track. “So much of what I appreciate about it is not the cars or the racing, it’s the announcers - they do super good commentary. “I love the whole suspension of disbelief, like when the announcers say, ‘There’s a lot of people showing up tonight!’” Derek tells me. He first started checking out the DRC last year, long before quarantine pushed me to find new sports, which is how, wormholing around online, I recently discovered it. But naturally, just like when we used to play Gran Turismo for hours on end, he was already way ahead of me.
