5 Star Cases' Speed Challenge Returns

5 Star Cases has announced it will relaunch its virtual simulator 'Speed Challenge' competition on Booth K10 at the 2013 PLASA exhibition at ExCeL in October.
5 Star has invited British Touring Car Racing driver Jack Goff on the stand for three of the four days of the exhibition.
The booth will feature a new stand designed and built by the 5 Star Group that will showcase their products and coincide with the move of PLASA – the UK entertainment technology showcase - to a new venue this year.
5 Star's Speed Challenge was initially inaugurated at PLASA back in 2006 to celebrate the company's 25th anniversary. By popular demand, it's back for 2103 – running in a completely new racing simulator booth.
5 Star's Keith Sykes says: "This was a great opportunity to combine fun as well as highlighting the many specialist features that can be included in our case projects, and of course providing an ideal opportunity to discuss these in more depth.
"Having Jack on the stand is a massive added bonus and we are honoured that he will be there to share the buzz and the great vibe of PLASA."
The 5 Star racing simulator is housed in a custom designed and built 5 Star Super Tour flight case.
One key feature is a powered TV Lift system, which enables the screen to be raised and lowered remotely, keeping the flight case to a minimum height.
The racing simulator uses this as the basis of its layout and has a 50" high definition LED screen as the main display, driven by a Sony PlayStation.
The 5 Star Speed Challenge is being offered on all four days of the show on production of a business card.
The challenger logging the quickest circuit time during each hour of the show will win a limited edition 5 Star briefcase.
The person with the overall quickest time over the four days of Speed Challenge will walk away with the additional prize of a Track Day with Jack Goff.
In addition to the 2013 5 Star Speed Challenge, also on the booth at PLASA will be a variety of standard 5 Star cases, custom built projects and foam inserts. The recently revised Industrial range of 19" rack cases will also be shown in a selection of unit sizes and external colours.
