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!

Once Were Pimps...

Last weekend saw the second of the monthly Hot Corse Nights cruise parties at the track... We had plenty of top quality hardware on display as well as the entries for the first "Pimp Your Ride" competition.

Before I move on to the winners, I'd like to say that we were a little disappointed with the lack of entries for the competition and whilst there were plenty of cars entered, most of them were by the same people, so the actual number of entrants was below what we had hoped for... We had excuses of people not knowing about it, but with 5 weeks notice, blog posts and group notices/chat sessions, it was pretty hard to miss us talking about it. Anyway, just to let you all know, you've got TWO months to prepare for the next one, which will be judged at HCN04 in October ;)

Right, onto the winners...



In Third place, we had Will Sampson's tidy little Corolla AE86, which he'd done some substantial mod work on... This was the kind of car we wanted to see. Something shop bought, given that extensive personal touch and turned into a one of a kind ride...

Second place went to Erin Davies' scratch built classic GP racer... Whilst not something we expected to see, the fact that it was built completely by Erin, from the ground up, including custom scratchbuilt sculpty parts meant that we had to acknowledge the amount of work put into the build...

However, First place went to Dave79 Resident for his 911 GT3 build. Using a commercially available shell, he'd kitted it out to resemble something from the 'Fast & Furious' series of films, which is exactly what we were expecting when we launched this competition...

So, if you want the chance to win cash and cool Prefabrica prizes, you've got TWO months to sort out a killer ride for the competition. Full details and rules will be posted here in about a month's time, so there'll be no excuses for not knowing about it this time... ;)

MOTO GP - The season opens

Tuesday saw the first race of the season. I have to say the turnout was very disappointing, and we had some teething problems, but we all got out on track and hopefully had a blast in the end :)
Qualifying rounds Saw erin taking pole with 37.66 Followed by Deano at 42.79. The race results and current league standings are:

1st - saphyra Melodie 25 points
2nd - Deano Kharg 20 points
3rd - Erin davies 16 points

In the following PFB999 race, we turned the tables on the riders by running the track in reverse . The results were almost identical to the league race with Saphyra taking 1st and Deano being the 2nd non staff member to finish (a few staff members got in the middle of this race lol)

Our next bike race is on 30/8 @ 12pm SL Time. This event is open too all models of prefabrica bikes.



Breaking News...

Corse GP has a mascot! Just this second snapped in the pitlane was the lesser-spotted WeeBunny... We're thinking of adopting him as our official mascot of Corse GP...



Awwwww, cute.

P.s. He'll kill me for this ;)

Random races

A new thing for you all.. some sudden spontaneous fun :)

Keep a watch for group chat, we will announce a race with 10 minutes notice. So, get here fast and be ready to run.
Races are 10 laps long and the winner gets 100L$
They could happen anytime.. be ready and you could grab the cash

A new machine hits the bike league

Bikers prepare for a shake up... We have a new speed machine ...

This is the brand new PFB999 Zanzo , and it's causing a stir already. Mostly because it's hyper fast. Currently the lap record for this is 20.33 (held by meeeee :) ) compared to 31.30 for the old PFB900 (ignore the 26.44 - that was completed on a beta model)

With less than a week to go until the first moto gp race, it wouldn't be fair to introduce this now. But, those that have purchased will be itching to ride it in anger. So, here's what we'll do...

For the first moto gp race on 16/8 the PFB999 will not be included. However, there will be a special one off race just for the PFB999 right after.

Every other league race will be open for all bike models. Hopefully this has given everyone that needed to save up enough time to grab the speed monster and get an equal standing in the moto gp :)
