A day with the Stig on track  

Blog'D by Atamarashi

Some say his voice can be only be heard by cats. Others say his heart ticks like a watch and is confused by stairs. Some say he never blinks and that he roams around the woods at night foraging for wolves. But all we know is, he's The Stig.

I'm feeling nervous as I can see his figure on the horizon...

His very presence nearly wets the pants of the other drivers today...

He's wearing a different suit today, but it still is made by Alpinestars. As he faces me near the open door he folds his arms in typical Stig stance. I shudder and explain that this monster of a car is very similar to a BMW M3 GTR race car and its engine is the 4.0L V8 that powered it.

i don't think he heard me as he got into the car and fired it up. I can detect the strong smell of octane booster in his breath. He backs out of the garage and onto the track for what seems a very long time.

It's nearly start time and he has just got into the race formation. The other drivers are nervous and they wait...

The green light is shown and immediately, The Stig thunders away, leaving the others in his wake.

He reaches the first corner and other are not far behind... The race continues, and here are the highlight pics.

If you can already tell by the pics and the fakish scenario, The Stig is not actually driving and these are screenshots of Live For Speed...

Oh and if you're wondering who this awesome driver is, it's myself, thankyou very much.

I drive awesomely and I'm also in awe of my FXO GTR that looks like the BMW M3 GTR Le Mans car, sounds like it too and drives like it as well.

It's my favourite car...

See more pics later like crashing cars on the Kyoto Ring...

Grid DLC!!!! (Sourced from IGN.com by Ryan Geddes)  

Blog'D by Atamarashi

When Codemasters released its new driving game Grid this summer, car fans rejoiced. Some of the world's highest-performing automobiles were included in the game, lovingly rendered all. At launch, Grid included a top-notch survey of some of racing's hottest whips -- Nissans, BMWs, American muscle cars, F1 monsters and more. But at 45 cars, some gamers thought Grid's garage a tad bit thin. But that's about to change.

Although no date or pricing has been set yet, Codies has confirmed that eight new vehicles are on the way for Grid as part of an 8-Ball pack for download on Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network. All the rides will be available in Race Day mode and in Grid's online mode, which will also get two new multiplayer events as part of the 8-Ball pack

Codies also gave us some news that's sure to please Australian Grid fans: V8 Supercars are on the way. Later this year, Aussies can expect their favorite Ford and Holden cars, as well as the Bathurst circuit, to be playable in Grid as part of another DLC pack.

Sorry, we glazed over during that last bit. We only have eyes for the first car on the list, the legendary McLaren F1. It will be ours. Oh yes.


McLaren F1 GTR

The McLaren F1 GTR wrote itself into the history books as the only GT car to ever win Le Mans and is considered one of the finest examples of automotive engineering in history.


TVR Cerbera Speed 12

The TVR 12 smashes past 60 MPH in just under 3 seconds. Production models were planned, but they were considered too powerful to sell to the general public.


Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

For over a decade the Evo has been billed as a supercar slayer -- now the Evo-X in Grid lets you unleash its sledgehammer aggression in the Pro-Tuned class.


Honda S2000

This roadster is heavily modified for drifting and has become a cult-favourite thanks to its award-winning engine.


Nissan GT-R (S-G2008)

The production model was Top Gear's Supercar of the Year 2007. Now one of the world's hottest cars makes its debut in Grid in its fully tuned racing spec.


VW Nardo

This powerful concept car made real from VW uses its 600BHP engine to rocket to 60MPH in 3.1 seconds.


Volvo C30

Adding to Grid's touring car roster comes the C30, Volvo's agile, cutting edge hot-hatch straight from the STCC grid.

Pontiac Firebird Trans AM (No image available yet) -- The 1971 racing edition of this true American legend is a worthy addition to Grid's exclusive group of muscle cars.

Hello World! - Mmmhmmm  

Blog'D by Atamarashi

Ok, so I haven't posted in awhile...

Well who cares honestly?

I've finally gotten a wired 360 controller to use with my racing games.... Yay!

Oh and I'm playing Live For Speed as well...

So I've calibrated and get the drivers for it and its all set up for Live For Speed (by the way my fav. car is the FXO GTR (with BMW M3 GTR sound!!!)), Race Driver Grid (totally-awesome-handling-ness!!!!!!!!!! Check my replays!!!!!) and I have to set it up for TDU...

Report so far:

Live For Speed:

Just got it last week or maybe last, last week, any way, I've been getting custom engine sounds, especially the m3 gtr sound for the FXO GTR... Oh and good skins as well, must get the most wanted skin for my FXO GTR so it will be complete!... Also played online and its quite awesome... The 360 controller got me 2 seconds ahead on Blackwood Park in my Fav. FXO GTR!

Race Driver Grid:

Now its handling awesomeness or my way: "awesomererism" I really like the handling with the 360 controller, specially in Drift - Improved to 725,793 pts in Drift GP with the Nissan Silvia S15! Got to do some more Grid World...

Test Drive Unlimited:

Haven't done much, will set up 360 controller for it as well...

Spore:

Still in Space stage, just flying round, oh and the invading people were too much and I gave my secondary civilisations to them... Should I set up my 360 controller for this?

Gran Turismo 4:

Ok, done a lot of stuff like:

  • Like The Wind
  • Got my Super license - uber pwnerage (all bronzes except silver on last one) and Nath or anyone else for that matter that I know has got it as well.
  • Real Circuit Tours - Gran Turismo Skyline GTR (Pace Car) '01
  • Dream Car Championship (Easy with the Minolta) - Nissan GT-R Concept LM Race Car '01 is totally awesome!!! V6TT FR and only second on my Power Laptimes on Tsukuba piloted by none only than my Stig aspect of driving...
  • Some rally things like Special Conditions Hall - This time with my Lancia Delta HF Intergrale Rally Car - I got off-road rally skills!!! Skillage!
  • Etc...
Oh and I got exams....... only for one and a half weeks (in total though)

So I gotta study and I'm limiting myself not to use the 360 controller until after the exams...

Wish me luck! I really need it...
