Corus Vinyl Decal Design Contest
Starting for our Commercial Release of Project Torque, we will be having a contest to design the coolest vinyl decal for the Invictus Corus. The winner will receive a prize package of over $500.00 and will gain the honor of having their design placed in the game! Keep your eyes glued to the website for more information.

We’ve got many new cars ready to roll out for Commercial Release. Not only do we have a giant list of fantasy cars, but we’ve gotten licenses for Toyota, Mazda and Mitsubishi. We’re still working on acquiring more Import and Domestic car licenses, and we plan on having a huge amount of cars available for you to tune, race and win with.   Please check out our current list on the website.

There’s a lot on the way for Project Torque, and this is where you hear about it first! For commercial release we’ve got some new systems on the way. Challenge Mode will be a new system where you can challenge and race your rivals and friends with a new level of competition. Odds will be replaced by an ELO ratings system, and we will begin our Live Rankings at Commercial Release. Also on the way will be the ability to use a Nickname instead of your account name, improved community features, guild like race team system, and so much more!  We’re going to be rolling out new features every month over the next year, so please keep checking the website for more updates!

Special thanks once again to everyone who participated in the Closed Beta. We’re still working on something special for all of you.
