Default Forza Motorsports Showdown on Speed Wed Feb 21st with LG Motorsports

Just a heads up about this show. It was filmed in October but it will be shown in 4 episodes. We supplied a new 07 C6 for the show but they supplied the drivers. Check out on http://www.speedtv.com/programs/473/ for more info.

Don't miss it.

Thanks
LG

Sorry, we had to sign a non disclosure agreement that I would not want to violate. I don't have enough lawyers.

thanks

So basically they gave you a C6 and you modified it for them? Will you get any advertising out of this or did you get paid for it (or both)?

Not quite. We supplied the C6 in stock form and showed up in Atlanta for a 12 day shoot.

Then as we went along with each event, just like the video game, we were able to purchase "upgrades" with our points.

You will see how it works tomorrow night at 11pm eastern time (10pm central).

They supplied the drivers. Any of your DE guys between the ages of 16 and 35 could have signed up for a chance to drive a car in the show, had you known.

We only found out a few days before we had to be there.

It was a fun week, and I am sure that it will be interesting to watch, since none of the competitors have seen the final cut.

Thanks
LG

11pm central time.

Bob Tullius from Group 44 fame. I have not seen him in years.

I learned so much from his team. Group 44 was the gold standard when I started racing.

Say hello for me.

Thanks

I'm watching it now - I've been waiting for this show! I had no idea you guys were running a car until I saw the LG Motorsports banner. It seems like a really cool idea, but I'm just wondering how evenly matched the cars are currently, since it's such a diverse field. I guess I'll find out

Did some of these guys have absolutely no driving experience or what?! I thought they'd all be at least moderately experienced, but he was just explaining the mechanics of drag racing, so now I'm not so sure...

*edit* Was your C6 stock at the beginning? I'm hoping so, given that 13.5 pass :o
