MOTO GP comes to Corse !!!


MOTO GP - The start of LEAGUE RACES for BIKES


Starting on 16/8 at 12PM SL time


8 races over a 16 week season.Cash and trophies for the top 3 drivers after the final race. 2000L$ prize for the winner.


Do you have what it takes?


Rules and info..


1) Racing is open to PREFABRICA bikes only. No other models are elegible to enter. Demo bikes are not permitted. Limited to 20 entrants per race.
2) Descript before racing. We would like to see zero scripts on every driver, but we will allow up to 50 each for race events.

3) Racing is every 2 weeks for 16 weeks. So thats a total of 8 race meetings in this season. Points will be awarded for finishing in positions 1-15 in each race. The driver with the most points at the end of the final race wins the league. So if you miss races you have less chance of winning the league.

4) Be a Good Sportsman. SL has problems and we understand and watch for them. We expect everyone to conduct themselves in a mature and respectful manner. This includes arriving before the event starts and not teleporting out in the middle of a race. Do not start or participate in arguments. If there is an issue please contact one of the Admin team.

5) Race Director's Decisions are Final. If they or any admin member asks you to do something, you must do it, whether you agree with them or not. If you disagree with their decision then bring it to the track managers attention after the race.

6) Be Courteous to Others. During qualifications and races do not rez vehicles until your name is called by the Race Director. Once you are called to race, you have 5 mins to be on the start line ready or you will lose your entry into the event. Please be available and ready to go when your turn comes up. Crashing, offline or away from keyboard (AFK) will still deduct from the 5 minute time windows.

Additional Information:

If you have any queries,questions or suggestions please Contact a member of the Corse GP Admin team.
If you require lessons on how to race, information on reducing lag on race day or would like some friendly advice on how to get a faster lap Contact our Race Instructor/ Driving School, Samaldo Neximus.

Another freebie for modders :)

Ever wanted a removable roof? or maybe a bonnet that you can take off? Well, now you can.
Visit Corse and touch the rules board to get the touchable invisible script. Put it in any prim (not the whole car) and it'll be invisible on touch, then visible when you touch again.
Enjoy :)

Hot Corse Nights - HCN02



Yup, it's official! Hot Corse Nights returns to the Corse GP track on Saturday August 13th, 3-5pm SLT as usual. Once again, I'll be on the decks to provide a live mixed soundtrack and I'm hoping you'll all come down and party with me.

We're hoping for more cars, more people, more music and more fun and if the pits get too crowded, we'll just have to close the race track and part out on the main straight... What a pity eh? ;) Bring your bestest, baddest ride and park it up, polish it and show it off to the world.

As well as the HCN02 party, we'll also be judging the entries in the first "Pimp Your Ride" competition too, which I've already blogged about here, so if you missed the details, just check the post history.

Oh and if you want to get a better look at the poster, just click it ;)

Corse GP invites you to Pimp Your Ride

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 while to sort out your whip...

Here's a brief run through of the rules:

No Copybotted cars or components

Cars must be drivable, so a maximum of 31 prims, with multi-prim 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 body shells, rims, engines and other components out there to choose from, you should have no problems in creating some truly awesome cars. To assist you with exceeding the prim limits, you can of course make some parts as attachments. Here's a really cool and very handy demo of an Attachment Script to help you. I use this script and it's very good and simple to implement too.

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 , L$500 and a Prefabrica car of your choice
2nd place - Trophy, L$200 and a Prefabrica paint scheme of your choice
3rd place - Trophy and L$200

This competition 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 a few weeks to build your sweet sweet ride...

Good Luck!!

You Should've Been There...

Last weekend saw the first Hot Corse Nights party at the track... Attendance was good for the first party, peaking at about 24 people which made the pit lane a very crowded place to be.

We had a good selection of quality hardware parked up on display, some cars created especially for the night too (some of us were still building them that day). We're hoping for an even bigger and better event next time too and also waiting for our resident photographer Weesutcliffe Streeter to get back from his holiday so we can develop his pics and post them.

Music wise, the party was excellent with one of SL's best DJs spinning on the decks, in the trunk of a specially modified car. Mind you, I would say the DJ was brilliant, because I was the DJ ;)

Information regarding the next HCN party is coming up, so stay tuned... We'll also be judging the "Pimp Your Ride" competition too, which was launched at HCN01, more details on that also to follow...

If you came along to HCN01, we'd love to know your thoughts, so feel free to post your comments.

A free gift for modders

Hopefully all you modders are hard at work making a cool ride for the next HCN? To help you along I'm giving away a wheel script. It's a menu that will let you load 3 sculpt maps and their corresponding textures. Then you can touch the wheel, pick a new one and all 4 will change ;)
To get it, just visit Corse and touch the rules board.
