ItвЂ™s a roughly 1.5-mile-long course with a lap recordВ inching closer and closer to the one-minute mark. While itвЂ™s something IвЂ™m better off dedicating a post to in the future, the M1 Concourse is a community of private garage owners surrounded by a freshly paved circuit. If this sounds like a good time, the whole of competition over the weekend was live-streamed and can now be viewed here at your convenience. Held at MichiganвЂ™s newest road course, the M1 Concourse, itвЂ™sВ a technical, high-speed battle with little room for error as youвЂ™ll soon see. This layout is no doubt more exciting for the drivers, and much, much more entertaining for the spectators. ItвЂ™s a familiar layout, no doubt, but being a timed event rather than one thatвЂ™s judged the main thing itвЂ™s missing is keyboard warriors having a whinge after their friends get knocked out.

In the event that you lose one run and win the other, youвЂ™ll be afforded a вЂone more timeвЂ™ battle which will continue until one driver wins outright. ItвЂ™s a no-excusesВ match-up where, realistically, even if youвЂ™re the faster driver you can only afford to make one mistake. Talking with theВ competitorsВ after their battles, nearly every single one mentioned how much pressure this puts on you as a driver. ThatвЂ™s two no-passes-allowed hot laps, and if bested on both by the other car on the track youвЂ™re done for the event.

Then, come Sunday, drivers go head-to-head through the bracket until one remains.В As a competitor itвЂ™s a bit more like an uphill-downhill touge-style battle you get a warm-up lap, aВ lead lap, a lap to swap positions, and finally a follow lap. Rather than watching your friends go вЂ™round shaving the tenths off their laps to see who ends up with the fastest lap, thisВ portion of the event is handled on Saturday to slot all the drivers into a bracket. Maybe even a bit more so, and this mostly comes down to how the event was organized. Spoiler alert: it was just as rad as I hoped it would be. With Paddy busy fixing my typoes (or is it typos?) and explaining how heвЂ™ll murder me if I canвЂ™t learn to use proper punctuation, I had my way and hopped on a plane to see what MotovicityвЂ™s shootout-style hot lap battle is all about. With Paddy having a grand old time in America for last yearвЂ™s event outside Detroit, IвЂ™d been scheming for a way that I could get sentВ to MichiganВ this time around instead.

This isnвЂ™t the first time weвЂ™ve been out to MotovicityвЂ™sВ Speed Ring in Pontiac, Michigan. Eon, the Guardian Master of Skylands, is asking for your help to chase after Kaos with fellow Skylanders, to get the Book of Dark Magic back and restore Skylands.ДЇor more details about Skylandersв„ў Ring of Heroes, visit the official website, and follow the game on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. The rift of dimensions pulled in many things from other universes into Skylands, including Portal Masters of Earth.

Kaos tried to take over portals by using the evil power from the Book of Dark Magic, but the dark power went beyond Kaos' expectations and the portals went out of control, creating a giant rift of dimensions.

Most of the time, Master Eon and the Skylanders, protectors of Skylands, are able to maintain peace, but Kaos, who wishes to become the ruler of Skylands, is constantly plotting ways to enact his devious plans. At the center of the world sits the Core of Light, which keeps darkness at bay and peace within Skylands. An endless expanse of clouds and fantastic floating islands. A wondrous world filled with magic and adventure.
