Got the guts and skills to race a GTR on TV?

Talk is cheap if you can’t bring it behind the wheel. You’ve seen the episodes of The Forum Wars presented by Royal Purple (http://www.theforumwars.tv/episodes.html), and you’ve thought, “I could do better than that!” Here’s your chance, as recruiting is set to begin for The Forum Wars Season 2.

Would you like to represent 6SpeedOnline on the track in your new 997 911 Turbo? Are you willing and able to competitively run a ¼ mile drag race, autocross style road course and a 0-100-0 competition against a Nissan GT-R from NAGTROC? We want you to compete on The Forum Wars Season 2 that will be filmed in Houston, Texas at the Royal Purple Raceway the weekend of Jan. 8, 2011.

Racers and fans of the inaugural season of The Forum Wars will experience better competition as the new season will include:

· ¼ mile NHRA drag strip
· Improved road course design
· 0-100-0 racing
· Cars and drivers nominated and approved by the forums
· Additional track time for the drivers
· More evenly matched vehicles with similar mods and tires (utqg 140 or above).

This season’s eight (8) episode series will be promoted on national television, SPEED, and posted and promoted all over the internet. To sweeten the deal, prizes will be awarded to participants from Royal Purple, Magnaflow Exhaust, Eibach Springs, Mothers Polish and more.

If you want to represent your forum on The Forum Wars Season 2, please reply to this post. Or, if you would like to nominate a 6SpeedOnline member, you can submit his or her name.

We are looking forward to an improved and incredible season with a great day of competition and fun at the track! Don’t wait to nominate! Nominations will close December 20th.

There might be a 900HP GTR, I might be able to arrange a 900HP 997TT for this event, just need a talented driver for it...

There also might be a 600hp gtr entering as well... to go against a similarly modded 997TT

Please contact me directly at theforumwars@gmail.com if you or someone you know wants to compete. We are looking for a modified 997TT and will be able to find a good match from the GTR guys. Please respond ASAP. We need to find someone in the next couple days. Thank you. Paul.

I will raise you all 1 TV deal.

Why don't you all plan to come the 2011 GTGP and you can showcase your cars and there performance in front of a world wide audience.
You have 9 months to build anything you want and no more excuses.

The 2011 GTGP is scheduled for Oct 2011 and will be at a premier race track on the west coast.


Forumwars, if you are interested in participating on a larger level in the 2011 event feel free to email the GTGP.

If you find a car, I'd love to be the shoe (unless of course you already have one)...

Unfortunately, it sounds like my cars are a little underpowered for the competition though.

I kinda doubt it. To me it looks like just a way for the promoters to make a buck off of our egos.

Hi Fabryce,
Do you guys have a 997TT in Texas that you want to put up against a modded GTR?
