You might have the right moves on the road, but now Microsoft is putting your skills to the ultimate test. Today, Microsoft announced a forthcoming, <b>Project Gotham Racing 2 International Online Tournament</b>, the first of its kind to grace Xbox Live.

The event will run from April 17 - May 17, 2004 in which the best players will compete against each other from three regions (US, Canada and Europe) for the chance to take home five grand.

The big race will take place on the “Princes Street East” track in Edinburgh, Scotland and record the competitors best times. Essentially, it will break down to the racers with the best seven times – two from the United States, two from Canada and three from Europe – will represent their region as finalists.

From there, the magnificent seven will receive an all-expense paid trip to Charlotte, N.C. for the “Project Gotham Racing 2 International Tournament” finals, which will take place over Memorial Day weekend at NASCAR’s highly-anticipated “Food Lion Speed Street” event. The finalists will also receive a pass to one of the most celebrated races in NASCAR – the Coca Cola 600 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. In addition, the finals will feature a performance by Island Records recording act, Autopilot Off to celebrate both the tournament and the release of their first full-length album, Make A Sound.

Of course, there can only be one. After all the grand festivities, the seven finalists will come for the $5,000, a one-year subscription to Xbox Live (it should be two years) and the chance to play against the band members from Autopilot Off.

Gamers from Canada and the United States that would like to participate in the “Project Gotham Racing 2 International Tournament” can log on to www.xbox.com/en-us/live/tournaments from now until April 17 to register. Gamers from Europe should check the regional Xbox.com URL in their area for more details on how to sign up.

Sadly, I've peaked at like 26th or something.

The only way someone is going to get #1 and beat McLarenF1GTR is by doing what he does, which is ride the wall.

Weak.
