Danica Patrick to star in a video game?
April 25, 2010
It seems like the racing public can’t get enough of Danica Patrick these days.
After hinting at a move to Formula One and then deciding against it before eventually moving on from the IndyCar series to NASCAR in the 2010 NASCAR season, Danica Patrick isn’t done from engaging herself to territories that are somewhat new to her.
You see, it was just a few days ago when Danica Patrick made yet another experimenting of her own, this time though, she is trying her hand at video games. Patrick will voice a video game character in the racing game ”Blur,” which Activision is slated to release on May 25.
According to the game’s developers, ”Blur” is part ”The Fast and The Furious” and part ”Speed Racer” and will let players race more than 50 licensed cars that will range from the road cars like the Ford Focus to the more exotic ones like the Lotus Exige Cup 260.
It really looks like a solid racing game on paper but unfortunately for the GoDaddy.com girl, Patrick doesn’t know squat about racing in video games.
When asked what ”Blur” is all about, Patrick said, ”It’s not just cars against cars. It’s cars against cars with the ability to pick up these things called power-ups. They are all kinds of different things, you can protect yourself or fix your car, shoot at other cars, you can blow them up or hit the boost.”
Apparently, the idea of power-ups are somewhat new to the female NASCAR driver, and so is playing multiplayer online, if you can believe that.
”How many times do you see people playing video games and they’re waiting for their turn?” Danica Patrick said. ”It’s cool because it’s not just such a single sport, it’s not a single thing. You can do it with people. And you can do it with people in different places, too.”
Danica Patrick is easy on the eyes and it’s definitely easy to admire a girl like her with her talent, but will somebody please introduce her to the Internet?
