			Basically a reality show for 10 amateur drivers/teams to compete for a 100k contract, factory ride, and test driver position for pontiac. So far they have given the teams a limited race team shop. The teams will be able to install/not install the stuff. Unlimited Bridgestone tires they look like RE01R's. They are driving the Solitce GXP trim. Let the racing begin.

			Should be a cool show.   I actually kinda liked Forzo Showdown, this looks even better.

			I don't like that kid either. Forza Showdown was pretty entertaining, hopefully this will be too.

			I'm trying to figure out the rules.  I think they started with 20 drivers (Dietz, who actually competed in a Solstice at Solo Nats last year) was one of them; then I see now that they are down to 10 drivers, with Ron still in, and Kevin as his crew chief.  I think the elimination round in the karts might've taken out Kevin (who, I've heard, hadn't raced in karts before, though he's probably one of the fastest Solstice drivers there is).

			They started with 100 or more "drivers" I think which I bet included Kevin and Ron, but guess he didn't make it to the 20 for whatever reason, so he became Ron's crew chief when Ron made it to the 10.

			It became 10 when they ran Willow Springs or whatever track they were at in a Shifter Kart and the times were used to qualify.

 Also, some of the racing reminded me of my GT3/GT4 replays (at least, how I drive in that game). So funny! | |
