Broadcast & Race Week Radio

NCM Broadcast LIVE

Race presentation drawn natively by the ncm-broadcast plugin:

• Names over NPC race cars, so you can tell who is who. Toggle with /ncm.names.
• An opt-in timing tower for the race you are in, or the Paddock race you are near. Toggle with /ncm.tower.
• The live race graph (F8) while you drive.

Race Week Live LIVE

NCM's own talk-radio station, in the game's own radio list next to the vanilla stations. It talks about the current Race Week: the results, the drivers, the city.

• Everything it says is real. The show is authored, deterministic writing, aired from what actually happened in the simulation. No language model writes its lines.
• Its hosts are voiced with OmniVoice. The voice packs ship as NCM's own required mods (ncm-radio and ncm-radio-voices-*).
• It is on by default and never locked: switch stations like any other.

NCM Observer IN DEVELOPMENT

A spectator mode: an invisible ghost camera that watches the races without taking part. It can't enter, earn, buy or count, but the races around it still materialise. It only starts by an explicit act, and today it is restricted to an allowlist.
