California _ Subaru holding WRX games

<center><img height="301" id="gallery-main-image" src="http://www.motorauthority.com/content/thumbs/2/0/2009_subaru_impreza_wrx_driven_001-0508-950x650.jpg" width="400"> </center><br />Residents of California will be in for a treat this weekend when Subaru holds its first ever WRX games - an event that will feature a full day of Subarus and driving experiences. According to Todd Lawrence, the promotional manager for Subaru America, the WRX games will allow people to experience what it's like to be part of "the Subaru community".<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><center><img height="299" id="gallery-main-image0" src="http://www.motorauthority.com/content/thumbs/2/0/2009_subaru_impreza_wrx_driven_003-0508-950x650.jpg" width="400"> </center><br />A number of activities will be held throughout the WRX games, but doubtless the highlight will be driving demonstrations from Subaru factory drivers, as well as guest drivers. Ken Block is already confirmed to be driving his Gymkhana 2 vehicle for the event, which is reason enough to check out the WRX games, but also present will be legendary drifter Steven Verdier and race-driver Kristian Skavnes.<br /><br /><center><img height="300" id="gallery-main-image1" src="http://www.motorauthority.com/content/thumbs/2/0/2009_subaru_impreza_wrx_driven_002-0508-950x650.jpg" width="400"> </center><br />Apart from the driving demonstrations, there will also be some activities that allow WRX-games attendees to get behind the wheel, including a 2010 Legacy 2.5GT driving experience where Subaru will let drivers loose on a custom course. There will also be a Subaru Freestyle Gymkhana where visitors can drive alongside a professional driver and compete against other visitors in a timed driving competition.<br /><br /><br /><center><img height="298" id="gallery-main-image2" src="http://www.motorauthority.com/content/thumbs/2/0/2009_subaru_impreza_wrx_driven_005-0508-950x650.jpg" width="400"> </center><br />Finally, there will also be a video games center with Subaru racing games and a miniature rally stage complete with jumps - for remote-controlled Subaru cars that is. The WRX Games will take place Saturday, August 1, from 10-4 p.m. at the Fairplex, 1101 W. McKinley Ave, Pomona, California.<br /><a href="http://www.motorauthority.com/gallery/driven-2009-subaru-impreza-wrx/2009-subaru-impreza-wrx-driven-008.html">More Photos</a><br /><br /></span><p>

Video: Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni Promo Clip

<center><object height="300" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1KStbXLVxy8"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1KStbXLVxy8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="300" width="400"></embed></object></center><br />Limited to just 250 units, the rear-wheel drive supercar comes with a 5.2-liter V10 engine. The 550 hp unit propels the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just under four seconds, on its way to a 320 km/h. It has a 45% limited slip differential on the rear axle, a new stability system allowing for better drifing, new dampers, springs, and tires.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br />Balboni believes that there is not a man alive who has driven more miles than he has in a Lamborghini, and he's probably correct. If anyone deserves to have a Lambo named after him, it's Balboni.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Valentino Balboni and the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni" height="301" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/6/large/8750543.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />A nearly five-minute video featuring a new special edition Gallardo named for Valentino Balboni has just been released. The very humble Balboni, a Lambo test driver for 40 years, nearly breaks down in tears towards the end of the video because of how touched he is by the gesture to name a car after him.<br /><br />In his honor, the company will produce the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni special edition. The car will be a bit distinct from other Gallardo models, with a racing stripe adorning the exterior, and unique interior features.<br />via:<a href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/109073120829/lamborghini-gallardo-lp-550-2-valentino-balboni-promo-clip">worldcarfans</a><br /><br /></span><p>
