Microsoft User Research Study for Car/Racing Enthusiasts

Hi guys, if any of you are interested in this:

Greetings!

Microsoft User Research has a Usability study coming up specifically targeted to people who are into cars and racing, both real and virtual.

Here are the details of the study:

We are looking for individuals who love racing games, cars, and racing in general. If they play racing video games and care about the details of what goes on or in their car then they are exactly the person we need for this study.

A few requirements to participate :
· Licensed driver that can drive to the Microsoft Redmond Campus
· Available May 8th
· 27-43 years of age
· Car Nut/Gear Head/Racing Enthusiast
· No Microsoft employees or contractors
· US Citizens

Each participant will receive a free gift selection from a list of some of Microsoft's most popular hardware and software titles including, Office Professional 2007, Vista products, Expression products, various Xbox 360 games, and much more.

There are limited seats in this study. If you know of someone who would be interested and meets the criteria listed above, have them email uccoord@microsoft.com with a subject of ‘Racing Study’ and include a daytime phone number for immediate consideration.

I remember back in the day when I used to play Sports Car GT, I'd take a couple of laps over second place and then pit in for a driver change and have the computer run the next 22 hours.

Boring but true fact: My old 360 Modena's engine sounds were recorded and included in Forza, PGR3/4 by Microsoft.

That was Kevin's car. He said the entire F50 ownership experience was pretty miserable -- spent more time in the shop (waiting for unobtanium parts) than it did in his garage...
