I don't expect to win every time I buy a lottery ticket. But I consider it like buying a dream for the mere price of a coffee.

This was a nice dream that didn't cost a thing.

If nothing else. Many members in our club woke up and chimed in because of this announcement. 

I don't have a FaceFart account. Is Scratch32 from Canada on the list? 

Thanks,
Ken

Hello Ken, Unfortunately, Scratch 32 did not make the list,.........as far as I can tell, only 2 North American clubs will be receiving cars, with the vast majority being "Euro" clubs.

Sadly WHO missed out ....

 
As did B St E. Almost exactly 24 hrs too late!

Never mind. Shan't miss what we never had 

Still very generous of NSR. 1000 cars on the way to the lucky recipients!

What we now need is an NSR sponsored competition bringing all 100 championship winners together for a SuperFinal

we were also chosen, in Belgium there are 2 clubs that made it, we are happy to be one of those two.

You could run a race at our Worthing track if you wanted an international round!

Hi Chris. Thank you for the heads up.

If out of 100-clubs, only 2 were chosen from North America for a worldwide contest? The evidence clearly suggests NSR had a plan for these cars from the start.

Regardless. I am super happy for all the winners, and hope they all have a blast with their free cars!!!

I think NSR were simply surprised and overwhelmed by the response - I don't think there was any ulterior motive.

They then had to decide how to limit things and going for the first 100 clubs to apply was by far the easiest way. They don't have a big staff and a detailed appraisal of each of the several hundred applications would probably have taken them until Christmas! I guess they could have selected the 100 club from across several global regions (based on local NSR sales, maybe?) to get a more even geographical spread. Maybe next time...

Other manufacturers will, no doubt, be keeping a close eye on how this initiative pans out. There's always the danger clubs will pocket the freebies and appear to go through the motions (there's a history there), but hopefully it will be different this time. A simple local championship fitting in with the club's usual formats is a very achievable aim and understandably excited a lot of clubs worldwide.

If anything NSR obtained loads of data for a mailing list
