''The Open Racing Car Simulator'' (or simply ''TORCS'' as an abbreviation) is an open-source RacingGame, which as the title implies, is intended to be a simulation of racing cars. Stable Windows versions were first released in 2005.
TORCS' main draw is the ability to program new AI drivers from scratch from the ground up, as shown by the activity on the TORCS Racing Board [[http://www.berniw.org/trb/]], a forum allowing AI programmers to compete against each other in various races using the game as a medium.
!!!Tropes relevant to TORCS:
* ArtificialStupidity : The "Inferno" AI drivers before version 1.3 have a really bad tendency to go way too fast through corners, and have ''worse'' collision detection abilities the faster they go. Overlaps with DrivesLikeCrazy.
** The "BT"[[note]](short for Berniw's Tutorial - Berniw being the nickname for Bernhard Wymann, TORCS project lead)[[/note]] AI drivers will almost invariably stick to the middle of the road, causing them to be far slower than the "proper" Berniw AI drivers.
* BrandX : In all releases after 1.2.4 - all of the car names are simply things like "car2-trb1". Additionally, after 1.3.2, numerous cars sport sponsorship from "Software Engineering".
* CriticalExistenceFailure : Played straight. A car comes to a halt and is lifted away from the track if it suffers more than 10,000 damage.
* DrivingStick : The player can choose between auto and manual transmissions.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin : The title, duh.
* HitPoints : Every car has 10,000 of 'em.
* WronskiFeint : Easy to pull off against Inferno AI drivers in 1.2.4 and before, mainly because of their habit of going into corners way too hot.
''Speed Dreams'' (started off as TORCS-NG) is a "fork" of the TORCS project, which aims to be an improved "game". Notable features include several new classes of cars, improved AI, and improved graphics.
Much of the TORCS content is forwards-compatible with Speed Dreams given some changes to fit some of the new additions, but the basic architecture is practically identical.
!!! Tropes relevant to Speed Dreams:
In addition to the above, plus...
* AlliterativeName : A few of the AI drivers. Ami Akechi, Kaito Kinoshita, and May/Mai Maeda.
* ArtificialStupidity : Despite being faster than Simplix-type AI drivers, the USR-type AI drivers have a really bad tendency to cut corners even when it's unsafe (such as when passing) or impossible (into a wall).
* AuthorAvatar : The development team members are some of the AI opponents.
* BlandNameProduct : Like in TORCS, cars also have their names changed. However, unlike TORCS, the names are more "namey" (for example, car2-trb1 in TORCS is a Boxer TRB-RS in Speed Dreams).
* BrandX : Many cars are sponsored by "Freio" brand brakes.
** [[BilingualBonus Freio means "brakes" in Portuguese.]]
* ButNotTooForeign : [=TRB1=]-class AI driver Marcelo Takeda, a half-Japanese, half-Brazilian driver.
* CoolCar : Despite being bland-name replacements for actual cars, the majority of models are based on pretty cool cars (the Archer R-9 is based off of the Aston-Martin [=DBR9=] as an example)
* DummiedOut : In version 2.0 - the Cavallo 570S1 (a Ferrari 550 GT) was cut from release.

** Trackside billboards on Espie and Brondehach mention [[Franchise/FinalFantasy Kupo]] brand brakes. Several cars also sport sponsorship decals from this company.

** TORCS itself gets a shout-out in the form of a track name - "Espie" is named after a founder of the TORCS project, a Frenchman named Eric Espie. To top it off, the track takes place in France. To emphasize the TORCS reference even further, it's a remake of a track from TORCS.
