14 DAY TRIAL // If you haven't checked with Xbox Live Marketplace lately, you should. More so if you're a Project Gotham Racing 4 gamer, as Microsoft has just rolled out four new Tournament modes, which you can download right now, for free. Fans will have the opportunity to engage in drifting and sliding competitions with Daily Tournaments, Super Saturday, Simulation Sundays, and the Global Cup.
According to official Microsoft word (up on Bizarre Creations' official website), each race is unique within every event, but you'll have to prove you deserve to be invited to the party! That's right, read on if you're the competitive type:
How to Qualify:
The Tournament Leaderboards include a timer counting down how much time is left to qualify. To qualify for a Tournament, race as fast as you can on a Solo Hot Lap to set the best lap time. Once you finish racing, you can check the Tournament Leaderboards to see if you've qualified. Those who qualified will have a spot reserved for them. No shows for the Tournament Elimination rounds will be disqualified.
