SBR vs TBR: 8pm GMT, Fujimi Kaido, Old Down Hill

Ladies and Gentlemen....

The Gauntlet has been Thrown!!

Yesterday the TBR's Nickyf1 Called out SBR's Slider S15 for a drift battle down the Fujimi Kaido Touge. As yet the participation of SBR boss Sam Billing1991 is unknown however it is hoped that he will also take part as Nicky called out the whole team!

So heres a look at the details that we so far have about the Two drivers confirmed to compete and their cars:

Drivers:

Slider S15:

A little know fact about Slider is that he started his gaming career as a drifter in Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2, and was soon signed to SBR after impressive performances against Team Boss Sam Billing1991. Moving on from this, Slider Moved console and Game to the Xbox 360 and the legendary Forza 2. Joining TORA a month Later, Since then (January 2009) Slider has achieved far more then he thought he ever would, 5th in TCC 2009, 5th in Seat Leon Supercup 2009, 3rd in Time Attack Club Class 2009 as well as appearances in the GTC, V8 Supercars, Petit Lemans, Lemans series (GT4 class) and The TORA Banger World Championship. Now on Forza 3 Slider is hopeing to build on this and this duel is the First time to show what Slider can do in this new platform.

Nickyf1:

(Firstly i want to appologise as this is all being done from memory rather than fact or input from Nickyf1 so this may be wrong at any point) Nickyf1 is a stalwart member of TORA with great success in the TCC, Grand Prix Championship and the GTC championship. As one of the good guys of the community both on and off the track Nickyf1 is a very popular guy and commands great respect amongst the other drivers in the paddock. With TBR and Stobart behind him Nicky has built some amazing and capable machineary and is possibly the odds on favorate to win this duel.
