Weclock: Same here, I'm very tempted. When I read the first notice from my phone (thanks twitter) I was like "ah.. surprise? oh.. it's a racing game. :(' then I saw there was a contest and I was like 'I could do that.."
And at $5.99 it makes me wonder.

Look at it this way: If you were to buy a scratch ticket, or a lottery ticket (with bonus numbers), or 50/50 from a sporting event or even buy candy from the Girl Guides or Scouts it might cost about the same. Only with the aforementioned you'd be rich and with the latter you'd have helped good organizations.
Here you get the same. You get chance to have some fun in competing, you get a reward for winning, at the very least the consolation prize for everyone is a good old game, and you support a great organization. What do you think? Like it?

It's very tempting, the only thing is though, I haven't finished a single game I bought from GOG. Also, MONEY.
A fantastic contest, really original. I'm not a specialist of racing game, but i will try it.
Could somebody give me a hint on how to time the start with manual transmission. I usually end up with a speed of about 30, which is even less than my sucky AT starts.

I really can't find anything useful on Google. For example, the GameFAQ link tells you to use manual transmission, but it doesn't really tell you HOW to use it.

Sorry, I just wanted to use the "let me google that for you" and I figured I wouldn't totally crap on you, so I linked to gamefaqs too.
Very cool idea guys. Keep this sorta stuff coming. :)
its nice to have a company that actually realizes the potential of selling games eg. "if you do great in this game, we'll give you another free!"
you guys rock hardcore, just hurry up on getting warlords battle cry 3 ready, my credit card is burning my hand.
Sounds like fun. If I were in to racing games I'd give it a shot, but sadly the only racing game I'm good at is Mario Kart. Unless Screamer has red shells and bob-ombs, I'm out. I hope there are more of these contests in the future.

Your car is your weapon. You wouldn't have time to reach for the action button anyway :)
Anyway, current time: 48:09... seems like I'm unable to get into the 47:xx ranges,
