Well was it?

Fat Boy

I'm afraid so, Ian

Came 6th had a laugh and got about a grands worth of sony kit, but no new Nissan 350Z GT4

Managed to throw away 15 points on the "drive a jeep thing around a slalom and keep the tennis ball in the bowl" by forgetting everything when the greenlight went and accelerating like a ba5tard only to see the ball come halfway up the windscreen 19points behind winner at the end (also a scooby driver) but fairplay to him as he won 3 of the 7 events.

Didn't see it all but looked like fun

Was it a pay thing or a write in and win kind of event?

Fat Boy

It was a forecast the times that some cars, DB9 for example,would do around the Ring and then the 30 closest were invited to Bedford Autodrome to compete to win a Nissan 350Z GT4. Joint promotion between Sony and Nissan and run on Autosport.com.

Autotest in a diesel micra, 4X4 time trial, 350Z on the wet track, high speed 350Z on the West track, 350z around the Nordschleife on GT4,karting, dragstrip challenge ( in a Nissan murano / range rover type thing), ball in a bowl slalom test, plus swanky breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Got a new thin PS2, a Sony Ipod thing, a copy of GT4, photo printer,limited edition book re the making of GT4 from the japanese guy who devised it, erm t shirts, etc, etc, etc. The top 6 all got the same and then you got one extra prize for each position closer to the top until you got the car :-(

Spent the day giving someone else's car stick around bedford and didn't get sent home for excessive noise once!
