We're thinking about running a drift class. Who wants to drift the bank at fontucky? Yeehaw!

Just read the release.

It sounds cool but I'm not sure I completely understand.

When it says "head-to-head" racing do they really mean wheel-to-wheel multipe cars out on the track, time doesn't matter its all about beating the other cars to the finish line racing?

Or is this a new form of time attack?

Always a big fan on wheel-to-wheel racing. Just like those you see in the Best Motoring videos! I am so glad livesockets is putting on something like that. It's exciting to see tuner cars duking it out on track instead of just solo time attack runs. There are just too much crying and complain about this and that at time attacks. This wheel to wheel battle to totally separate the boys from the men.

Best of luck for the event!

Im aware of HV touge battles...but in the release they dont really get specific on what they mean by "head-to-head"

[AllMotorKing]

yeah, this was the teaser press release. wait until we announce the team line-up and full detail. it's going to be sick!

[Realchaos1]

I'll keep an eye out on this.

This is a little off-topic. Did Live Sockets ever make a DVD for the 2006 Season of Formula D? I've been searching for one but never found any.

[AllMotorKing]

no '06 DVD, sorry.

Here's the announcement on the C-West/BC/Hankook S2000 set to compete in the Battle Series. Stay tuned for future announcements on teams and battle matchups.

Congrats to Tyler and the entire C-West/BC/Hankook team for killing it at Miller Motorsports Park this past weekend. I don't think this car is even up to its full potential yet. Wait until you see who we have them running against July 20th at Cal Speedway.

Here's the announcement for the Factor X NSX confirmed for the event. The rest of the teams will be announced end of the week w/ the matchups due early next week.

Here are the final matchups set for Sunday. The Factor X NSX still isn't ready so we got GST to fill in with their Impreza to run against the C-West/BC/Hankook S2000. It's going to be interesting to see how those two match up on that high speed course. Here's the full announcement on this.
