I'm moving in slow motion
Feels so good
It's a strange anticipation
Knock, knock, knocking on wood
Bodies working overtime
Man against man
And all that ever matters
Is baby who's ahead in the game
Funny but it's always the same
-Kenny Loggins' song, "Playing With The Boys" from the 1986 soundtrack album Top Gun.
Good morrow, fellow Nonchalants! I've decided it's high time to host another racing event. Slippery When Wet II will be on hold for a bit. This event will take place this Monday October 20th at 9:30 pm UK time. Invites will be sent a half hour beforehand to an Invite Only session. This new racing event is going to be focused solely on one vehicle. As the title obviously states, that vehicle is the Futo. "But CantDrive55Andy," you may be saying, "the Futo is a terrible car! Trying to turn is awful and the handling isn't any better!" Exactly. Now, hear me out...
A great driver is adaptable. Driving in diverse weather conditions is no problem. RWD flows smoothly the same as AWD would. You're not constantly bashing your opponents. You, in a way, are an extension of your vehicle. You know it and how it handles. With the Futo, that's basically all out the window. You're driving something that handles like it has bald tires and you're going uphill in the pouring rain. This car is very difficult to properly control. This Event is going to help showcase who can truly handle a fully modified Futo. Who has what it takes to adapt to the car and the tracks? Who can stay consistently high on the racing podium? And with a wide range of customization options, you can almost guarantee no two cars will look (and quite possibly drive) the same. It's my hope that this can be one of quite a few racing events where everyone only races one custom vehicle. This way, we can truly prove who are the superb drivers and racers.
I do hope that you'll join in on the fun! It should be quite a show! If you'd like to join, simply post a comment saying so. This Event will be able to accommodate up to 16 people. CLICK HERE to bookmark the Playlist. If you'd like, you can practice and get a good feel of the tracks. Me personally, I don't practice much. I find if I go in cold, I'll come out hot! Or, lukewarm at least... XD
Finally, I believe in giving back. I was unable to participate in the donations to Broughy, unfortunately. At the time, I was laid off from work. Now, I'm on all sorts of overtime and have more money than I'm used to. I really do wish he'd open up donations again, as I'd like to contribute. With this extra abundance I have, I want to give back. It may not but much but, the winner of this Event will win a $10 PlayStation Store Gift Card. And if for whatever reason I should win, I'll reward the prize to the person that comes in second place. Gaming is a lot more expensive than it used to be (or it seems that way to me)!
Stay classy!
