Reading murder books and trying to stay hip

 
Now here are some pics from Hot Corse Nights, a park and party event over at Corse GP race track. There were some pretty cars being shown off, and some cartoon vehicles as well. Live DJ, dancing, but no drinks. 

Me in my Buggster (version 3.8).

Amazing detail on the interior of this SUV.

Corse GP's 'Pimp Your Ride' Competition

Yup, you're not seeing things, we're really holding a competition to mod your ride and win some cool prizes.

We're looking for the best modified or original ride in SL. There are a few simple rules to adhere to and some great prizes on offer. The winners will be picked at the next Hot Corse Nights cruise party in August, giving you a month to sort out your whip...

Here's a brief run through of the rules:

            No Copybotted cars or components
            
            Cars must be driveable, so a maximum of 31 prims, with multiprim attachments if needed
            
            Cars must be realistically proportioned, sized etc. 
            
There are no real limits for creativity other than your mind, so with a month and a myriad of bodyshells, rims, engines and other components out there to choose from, you should have no problems in creating some truly awesome cars.

If the recognition and respect of your peers when you proudly show them off at HCN02 isn't enough, we've also got some cool prizes too...

Prizes

            1st place - Trophy , 500L$ and a prefabrica car of your choice
            2nd place - Trophy, 200L$ and a paint scheme of your choice
            3rd place - Trophy and 200L$
            
This competion is open to anyone and everyone, except Prefabrica and Corse GP staff. Entrants will be judged by us at HCN02 in August, details of that will follow soon, but you have approximately one month to build your sweet sweet ride...

Good Luck!!

Next Voyage



Not looking forward to another race at Silverstoned. Don't get me wrong, I know this track is a classic and the "Silicon Valley" of Formula One, but I never did enjoy any lap at the disused airfield. The new arena section has made the lap longer and added new twists, but to me it is just another tedious sequence of corners. Round and round in some bare flatland grassfield, I'll take Interlagos or Imola over this track any day.


One of my best endurance races ever was at Daytona Road Course for the opening event of the 2010 IMSA Camel GT Championship season by Historic Simracing Organization. For this series we used Redline GTP mod for NASCAR2003 and I ran the famed Mazda 787B. With plenty of practice, I was easily the fastest driver/car in Lights class and finished 11th overall out of 22 runners despite 8 disconnections. An excellent performance (if I do say so myself) that buoyed me on to 5 consecutive wins and 6 wins out of 8 races, and I was sitting pretty on top of the Lights Division Championship with a huge points gap. It would have been my first ever championship but unfortunately the series got cancelled.
