This is my second entry, first thing I saw when I looked at this picture is a Typewriter heh. Dont ask why! I guess looking at the seats lined up, hense why they are the keys. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

A bit of a last minute entry and I didn't have time to polish it off, unfortunately.

Probably spent more time on this one than I should have, but had fun doing it and I think the end result is pretty good. As always feedback is appreciated...

"As seen by the similarity in the track, the modern racecar derby had it's humble beginnings back in the middle ages."

Hmmm backstory...

Back in the 19th century, they were inventing the typewriter, but the engineering wasnt perfected yet, they could not make the tiny components yet. So they made a giant prototype to test it out. It was displayed at the Worlds Fair in 1875, and remained at the fairground to the present day, where it doubles as a skilltesting contraption.

Let the nitpicking begin!
