Road's Ashley Van Dyke & Forza 4

Road's first lady, Ashley Van Dyke (www.ashleyvandyke.com) went to a wicked night of gaming in honour of Forza 4, at LA Live, Stateside for us last night. She said: "The digital world met reality on Wednesday, as Tommy Kendall hosted a night of gaming heaven for gear heads and I was there to soak it up. Nearly 1,000 people turned out to game it up, trying their hand at a lap on the infamous Top Gear track (making its game debut). Gaming systems packed the inside of the event tent and I was determined to work some practice time in before attempting my official lap time to go on the boards. Playing with the wireless remote was my favorite setup for racing on Forza 4 and I was impressed with the feel of controls. Car gaming is really moving on fast! After making some settings changes, taking off all traction control and braking aids, I had the Kia maxed out at a 1min 48sec best time. As I await the release of the Forza 4, I stand determined to find more speed...and skill! Its quite addictive! With a special appearance by The Stig from Top Gear, music performed live by Travis Barker and Mix Master Mike and a display of kick ass rides, this party was all that... and a set of Pirelli tires!" Numerous awesome cars were also on display at the gaming event, including Spyker C8 Spyder, ALMS LMP1 LOLA Aston Martin Muscle Milk Car, Gumpert Apollo, 1967 Chevy Camaro, Mercedes SLS, Ferrari California, Red Bull Hyundai Rallycross Veloster, Koenigsegg CCX, Lexus LFA, and more. Road Magazine's Ashley was raving about it. Good times!
