Forza 2: Lights are Gold; demo contest

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines and prepare for the biggest racing event this side of Christmas: Forza Motorsport 2 has finally gone Gold, and will be with us at the end of May in the US, and the beginning of June for the EU. Also, if you’ve been enjoying the demo, there is a little competition for you.

Starting with the competition since that’s important, you have to try and set the best time possible on the demo track in one of the three cars specified. A quick warning though: thanks to the weekend disrupting the news and what-not, this competition expires on the 15th May, so you don’t have a lot of time now unfortunately. If you still want to compete, you need to follow a few rules:

• What you need: An Xbox 360 with Xbox Live Gold Membership. A copy of the Forza Motorsport 2 demo. A digital camera of some sort to take a picture of your TV screen.
• How to compete: Place hotlap times in any of the 3 classes in the demo (C, A, and R2) using the following cars: C class = 2003 Nissan Fairlady Z; A class = 2005 Ford GT; R2 class = 2005 Maserati #35 Risi Competizione MC12. After you are satisfied with your hotlap time, take a photo of the post-race scoreboard and post that screenshot in this subforum. A moderator will update the first page of the thread with the top 3 fastest times for each class. This thread is for posting hotlap times only. If you want to discuss techniques and your times, please create a thread in this subforum. Failure to follow this rule after an initial warning will result in your disqualification.
• Assists: You may use any assists you see fit to achieve your lap times. Just keep in mind that the cool kids don’t use ABS.
• Contest Window: The contest will run from 11th May until 11:59pm Tuesday, May 15th, 2007.
• Winners: First place winners in each of the classes will win a Forza Motorsport 2 Xbox 360 faceplate, along with an official Forza Motorsport 2 license plate frame (for your real world car). Second and third place runner-ups in each of the classes will receive the Forza Motorsport 2 license plate frame. You are ineligible for prizes (but have plenty of bragging rights) if you do not reside in North America. Sorry.

As for the full game, well, that has now gone to the printing press and it’s job done for Turn10. They will have to get back to do some DLC at some point, but for the time being at least, there is nothing more to be worked on. Great news and hopefully a job well done.

Check out the Weekly Pitpass Report for a lot more information on the demo, as well as tidbits of othr information about the game.
