Pikes Peak International Hill Climb - 10 minute barrier broken!

For anyone in the community that keeps up to speed with all sorts of racing events, would know that for decades, the Pikes Peak hill climb has been one of the most ballsy rally's out there; actually it probably is the most insane. Anyway, there has always been said to be a "10 minute barrier", where drives have come close to, but have never actually succeeded in getting to the top in under 10 minutes. This was not even accomplished by Ryan Millen in his Hyundai Genesis hillclimb prototype:



But all of that changed in this weekend in the 2011 Pikes Peak hill climb challenge! Where drivers from all across the world gather in a single day to try and beat the world records for their vehicle classes. It was a suprise that the 10 minute marker was broken, but it was no suprise that the driver who did it was the already 6-time world record holder, Nobuhiro Tajima:



If you don't feel like listening to the information, skip to 6:05 where the few driving scenes are shown. He finished the hill climb with an amazing 9:51 time!, 10 seconds faster than his previous 10:01 record!; With a blown engine!!

Congratulations to the 60 year old "Monster" from Japan!

[SDU] Server Update

As you can already see, the [SDU] Server and Community are now beginning to undergo a promised revival.

First off - The new blog layout.
- The blog will soon be completely redone on the sidebars aswell, with the aim of sorting things into catagories, having seperated linked pages for Server Information, FAQ, Modifications, the Black List, ect. The blog is no longer appart of the E24 blog chain and will serve only as a community portal.

-The blog has a new address, so please share it with your friends! www.sampdriftunion.blogspot.com!

Second - The new server script.
- Yes, I know...the server is not running yet, but for good reason! I am in the process of making a completely new script from scratch. Something extremely unique that you will have never seen before, and it meshes your two favorite types of gameplay into one! Roleplaying + Drifting combined to make a players heaven.

Third - Stay in contact with the [SDU] officials!
- We may not have a Facebook, but we do have an MSN. Add us to your contacts to receive alerts when there are new blog posts, or need help with game related issues.
We will try to be online with this new MSN account as much as possible!
