Race Car with QR Codes

with thanks to imagine dot art

Given I'd seen Le Mans recently, which plunged me back into boyhood memories of seeing Steve McQueen on the big screen, at Cinema Archimede (Parioli district), I was already thinking of race cars. 

Then we had that meeting today wherein we were told about a way to join a game server; with a QR code. Of course that makes sense. I use QR codes all the time to play Shopping at Fred Meyer, one of my favorite apps. That's how to get a daily digital deal. 

Even though my older iPhone lens is blurry, it's still able to read QR codes. I carry a digicam separately (sometimes, as a rule of thumb) if I want those sharper images.

That got me thinking of a race car covered with QR codes in place of corporate logos. Spectators would be trying to figure out. WTF? They'd be holding up their phone-cameras as the race car zipped by. 

I prompted: A fancy formula one race car covered with QR codes instead of decals.
