I have a company that runs family entertainment centres / amusement arcades and have plenty of twin driving games available.

I would suggest Ferrari 355 as the game was actually made as a simulator. It was designed so a proper racing driver could beat your average arcade game expert. I can say this with some authority as........... it says so on the back of the seats. It is the most realistic of all the driving arcade games I have ever played. And I have had a shot on pretty much everything that has been released in the last 20 years. Ferrari themselves were involved in the development of the game.

I suggest - £5 entry and a knockout tournament. Winner takes home a crap plastic trophy that I will provide. And massive bragging rights! Practice sessions could be held beforehand and all cashbox takings could be donated to charity.

Event could take place either before/during/after the track day at knockhill if they would provide some space for it, from the back of the van at the after party, with the help of a mains extension or from a garage.

If there is enough interest I would be more than happy to set this up

Any ideas/crits welcome

Brilliant - Andy is away for a couple of days on business, but I'll have a chinwag the next time I see him and figure out how this would work best.

No worries. Have a chat between yourselves and get back to me.

Let me know in advance so I can crack out the old Dreamcast

Sounds like a nice idea

Chris, though maybe a ps3, gt5 prologue and a couple of decent wheels is the way to go, has Elises too.

Although, maybe something like a Wii with plastic steering wheels and Mario Kart is more fitting to a fun night / tournament?

Anywhere, any time, any how

If the weather is good, I may track the 360 to raise some money. Charge cash for some pax laps.

Top idea

What do you think should be the rate for 3-4 laps? I could to 20-30 of them. I doubt there will be so many takers though.

Entries are racking up nicely - heading for half full and we've still got the thick end of 2 months to go! Top work people

Always worth posting up when you've signed up as well, to keep the details near the top of the forum.

Just confirmed with Gambler that we will run that 355 Arcade driving game challenge, which should make for some top beer-fuelled entertainment! Remember to bring cash for entries folks

Anybody raise Sanj to force me to NOT wear the mankini? I think it'd be money well spent...
