ModNation Racers event photo gallery

This week GameSpot AU teamed up with Sony Computer Entertainment Australia to give 10 lucky readers and their friends the chance to try out the upcoming PlayStation 3 game ModNation Racers and then test their skills at an indoor go-kart track in Sydney.

After a quick video from the development team at United Front Games and a guided tour of the level and character customisation modes, it was time to see who had the goods on the road.

Check out our photo gallery from the event below!

GameSpotters get comfortable for a quick virtual tour of the customisation features in ModNation Racers. Shortly after this photo was taken we made a driver out of bacon.

Class dismissed! Attendees get split into racing teams. Not a bad-looking bunch, are they?

GameSpot Team Two isn't going to just let them walk away with the cup.

Very funny guys! Who put the itching powder in the crotch of my suit?

I'm a cowboy, and on a steel kart I ride.

They see me kartin', they hatin'.

GameSpotters let their racing do all the talking as they drift the track and stalk their prey.

Players learn the ancient art of kart as they wait their turn.

Koz passes his pearls of wisdom on to the community. ”Yep, that's right. Put your pants on first and then your shoes.”

The winning team poses with its spoils after claiming fastest lap in the competition.

The karts finally get a rest when the bar opens and the beers start to flow.
