www.racer.nl Just look at the screenshots... wow...

Bob, thoughts on a livecd with this?
hrmm, yea i gotta check this out. looks like racer has came a long way.
How's about starting by getting it into portage first?
Added racer-bin-0.5.0 into portage with ~x86 KEYWORD. Please test away and report. Bob, if you wanna look at it for a livecd, please go ahead.
Seems to be hardcoded to require fmod-0.61 gives the following error with fmod-0.62 and racer-bin-0.5.0 ./bin/racer: error while loading shared libraries: libfmod-3.61.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I get the exact same message: ./bin/racer: error while loading shared libraries: libfmod-3.61.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory --alex
How to solve the "error while loading shared libraries: libfmod-3.61.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" bug: Racer needs fmod-3.61, but gentoo wants to install the 3.62 Version, but this problem is very easy to solve. Change to root and type the following: "ln -s /usr/lib/libfmod-3.62.so /usr/lib/libfmod-3.61.so" That's all Niko P.S: You can enable sound in ther racer.ini (section audio) and you can also start the game in fullscreen (gfx.ini)
Ah, I also just wanted to point out the "symlink fix", but seeing that Nikolaus was apparently faster. Apart of the missing libfmod-3.61 dependency the ebuild seems to work fine. Thanks everyone. :-) Oh...and just for the protocoll...I have to say that the request for a racer package in fact even dates back to a bugreport in 10/2002 that has probably been more or less forgotten (see #9711). ;-)
took a look at this game, though the screenshots look nice, the game isnt worth a livecd yet. Will keep a eye on it
