Distributor Cosmic Video Amusements (CVA) has been busy testing out the first NASCAR units to arrive from US manufacturer Global VR. The container load arrived recently complete with an eight player version. “One of our first orders to be despatched is an eight player linked game for a prestigious central London location” explained CVA’s Phil Mander. “And, as is our policy every game is de – boxed, tested and in this case linked, to ensure that when it leaves CVA it is in first class condition and ready to operate!”
The newly released EA sports licensed NASCAR, has a 42” LCD screen and is linkable for up to 10 players. Real drivers battle with 30 opponents’ cars on five licensed Nascar tracks including the world renowned Daytona Raceway.
The whole team enjoyed their 30 minute testing.” Added John Farrington. “The competitive natures of the CVA team members ensured it became quite heated at times- it was difficult to get a seat. I had to pull rank to get a drive!”
The game will be shown at ATEI with accustom built steel gantry and signage, intended for use with two, four and eight player combinations, which will be available for purchase. “We have developed this promotional tool in response to numerous operator requests.” Explained technical director Glenn Wearn. “Sites who want to make a statement and make a real differential, will just love this very affordable and complimentary set up.”
