Continental debuts new racing game and summer sweepstakes

Continental now has a sequel to its ContiTireRace online game. ContiTireRace 2 is available at the company's website, Facebook page and as an app in the iTunes store for both the iPhone and iPad.

Players can now compete on two race tracks known as Norway and Sunshine State.

“Speed-ups” can be collected at certain points to briefly accelerate the tires, which play an important role in the race and enable the players to climb the leader board. During the race, players must complete two laps while swiftly avoiding obstacles and taking the ideal racing line through the bends wherever possible.

The new ContiSportContact 5, a high-performance summer tire, is at the heart of the action on the two tracks, according to the company.

To celebrate the game’s release, the ContiTireRace Summer Edition Sweepstakes is running through September. Two victorious contestants will receive a set of four new tires; the second-prize winner gets a 250GB Xbox 360 Kinect Bundle Microsoft Game System.

For a chance to win, participants must complete the registration form by Sept. 30. No purchase is necessary to enter.
