I'd love to work on a game like Tourist Trophy, but there aren't any class projects yet that I know of at the Guildhall for racing games. I might get a chance to make a model though next term when I go into my Art focus for level design. I'm getting somewhat comfortable with 3ds Max, but I need to learn the advanced stuff for mesh smoothing and shaping.
When I get the skills locked down, I'll definitely model some motorcycles, all the way down to the main components (IE working shocks, moving chain, etc).
