Let me Google that for you.

Just one thing - How do you rename TORCS AI?

You can't rename the built-in robots as far as I'm aware - you'll have to create your own. Which is a fun little task.

4.4.2 Can I develop a robot using Windows?

Yes, you can. Here is a rough guide:

• Download the TORCS source and manage to compile and run it.
• Download e. g. the bt robot package, it is a little enhanced version of the robot developed in the tutorial, so there is good documentation available to understand it.
• Copy the sources into a new directory, e. g. when you choose the name "myrobot" create a directory /src/drivers/myrobot.
• Copy all the bt files into the myrobot directory.
• Now rename all "bt*" files into "myrobot*".
• Edit myrobot.def and also change all bt strings into myrobot.
• The same for myrobot.dsp, .xml, perhaps more, you get the idea.
• Change the "bt" module entry point in myrobot.cpp to "myrobot", also make the strings for the robots names and description match with those in myrobot.xml.
• Add the myrobot project to TORCS, open the project with vc++ and try to compile it.
• If you want to deploy the files you have to do that manually, create a directory in "runtime" where the other robots are and copy the required files there (myrobot.dll, .xml, setup subdirectories etc.).
• Now TORCS should pick up your robot.

I guess you all want to sign up for the series now that I've finally decided to take charge of it...

Really depends on whether or not you can actually make the thing work. Because looking at the instructions on making your own AI drivers, it's not going to be easy.

I am fond of collecting best sports car. The cars I have recently collected are wonderful. Do you want to see?

Oh well. Spamming in a thread about a series that is unlikely to take off. After you delete the spammer, can you please lock this thread, mods?

Sure, I shall get right onto that.
