The http://ignition.my/events/speed-challenge-series/ was created to provide the real-life excitement of console-game racing simulations such as Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsports!
Targeted at tuned Street-spec cars and run in a format just like in the games, we offer the opportunity to bring your hopped-up ride to the circuit and run a 3-lap Time Challenge in heats of 8 cars at a time!
Co-organiser Adian Yein of Ignition.my says, “Every other marketing industry places heavy emphasis on the ‘Playstation-Generation’, so the time is ripe that Motorsports embraces the culture too, and maximises the entertainment value for this age group. Almost all car-enthusiasts below 40 know what Gran Turismo is all about, so let’s take that excitement is bring it to life!”
“Just like any other sub-culture, the street-racers are misunderstood. They’re grew up racing modified street cars on the computer, and have now grown up and seek a playground. We’re providing it, and hope that they can make the next step to proper circuit and rally racing from here on.”
Organised in a League-table, best-4 times from Heat 1 will run again with cars with the best-4 times from Heat 2, and vice-versa, culminating in a Final Heat comprising of the drivers that set the best-8 times during the preliminary heats.
Round 1 will be held at Sepang International Circuit on 26 Sept 2010!
