Fast Cars n' Deep Pockets...

So, in my earlier post, I hinted at something we'll be doing after the Hot Corse Nights party on September 17th...

If you want to take part, you'll need a Corse GP racing HUD, a fast car and deep pockets, because we're gonna be running some 'buy in' races. It's a simple premise, each person hands over a predetermined amount of money to one track official, they race 10 laps and the winner takes the lot. We'll run a few 'buy in' races after the party, so you'll have the opportunity to win your money back if you get beaten... Seeing as the HCN parties are the social side of the Tuner scene at the track, it seems only right that we switch up the racing for those nights too... If they're popular, they could become a regular monthly thing along with the HCN parties...

The 'buy in' amount won't be astronomical, however if people decide they want to up the ante for a particular race, all parties must match the amount, or withdraw, so if you don't fancy risking too much money, you won't have to. There might also be one or two surprises on the circuit too, so you can practice all you like, but you'll still get caught out on the night ;)

So, see you for HCN03 on Saturday 17th September at 3pm SL for the party and then a couple of hours later, we're doing it fast and furious around the track ;)

HCN03 - September

Just a little courtesy post to inform the uninitiated about the Hot Corse Nights parties that we hold at the track every month. We've moved them to the 3rd Saturday of each month now, just so you're aware...

September sees the usual park n' show style party, with me once again taking control of the decks for the tunes but this time, we've got a little twist after the party. I'll give a little clue about that later.



So, for the newcomers to the whole HCN idea, we basically shut down the track for a couple of hours every month, park out our hottest, baddest and most modified rides and then dance, chat n' party on the main straight. It's a celebration of tuning culture.

HCN03 won't see the return of the "Pimp Your Ride" competition, as mentioned previously, that'll be back for HCN04, so this time around, we thought we'd inject a little healthy competition after the festivities have finished... I'm not going to give too much away now, but as the poster says, you'll need a fast car and deep pockets ;)

See you all there!

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.
