Hey Everyone,

I just want to give you guys a quick task list for what I’m doing in the semi-near future.

• Homepage improvement
• Generic Content Pages
• Allow users to edit/delete their ratios
• Build a rating system into the setups section
• Paginate setup search results (IE: 20 results per page)
• Integrate blog into forums
• Private Team Pages
• Public Team Pages
• Improved User Profile Pages

If you have any more ideas let me know.  Post comments here.

A few days ago, the game announced its first “real” sponsor, NOS Energy Drinks.  I say “real” because as far as I can tell CIE Studios, the developer of Nitto Legends, has no prior connection with NOS.  Other sponsors we have seen in the past include Wheel Envizio and Ed Bergenholtz, but both had established relationships with with CIE Studios before the game was launched.  The Wheel Envizio configurator and the Ed Bergenholtz feature site were both developed by CIE Studios.  Even the Scion tC had a special connection to the game before it was released.

The new NOS Energy sponsorship is definitely proving to be exciting.  NOS Energy will be sponsoring an event called the NOS Powershot 24 Hour Endurance Challenge.  It’s a new style tournament that we haven’t seen before:

The NOS Powershot 24 Hour Endurance Challenge will be a series of 24 tournaments; one every hour, on the hour, starting July 18th 13:00PM EST and ending  July 19th 13:00PM EST.  Each tournament will have a 20 minute qualifying period.  The standard 16 racers will qualify for each tournament.  To determine the winner of the endurance challenge (all 24 tournaments), a simple point system has been implemented.  Each of the 16 racers that qualify will receive 1 point.  For each round a racer advances through, he/she will receive an additional 3 points. The racer that wins the tournament will receive 10 points.  Each racer can only compete in 8 tournaments.  After all 24 tournaments are completed, the points will be tallied and the racer with the most will receive the grand prize, a fully customized NOS Powershot trophy car.  Winners of the 24 individual tournaments will receive a special badge.

Each of the 24 tournaments will have different car requirements and different race types (H2H or Bracket).  In addition to meeting these basic requirements, your car must also have a NOS Powershot graphic pack installed.  There are two ways to attain the graphic pack:

1) The pack can be purchased for $1,000 Nitto dollars from the parts shop.

2) You can get the graphic pack for free by entering the NOS Powershot qualifying tournaments that will take place from July 11 to July 17.  These tournaments will be for various cars and various racing types (H2H or Bracket) so anyone can enter.  As long as you do not foul your qualifying run, the game will automatically install a  NOS Powershot graphic pack on the car you entered with.  This graphic pack is non-transferable, so make sure you enter with the right car.

And that’s it.  Let me know if your still confused.

Ichiban has just revealed the new user generated graphics feature on the forums. Testing will begin soon. When testing begins, I will try to get you some more screenshots.

Hey Everyone,

Welcome to the New 2.0Legends.com.

As you may know, I’ve been working at this site for quite a long time, and tell you the truth it’s still not completed.  However, I am pleased to say that enough is done for you to start enjoying the new features.

The main highlight of the new site is the “Setups” section.  As you know, selecting the right Nitto Legends parts is an incredibly difficult and time consuming task.  The new “Setups” section was built to make sharing these setups a little easier.  Here’s how it works:

A user navigates to Setups->My Setups->Add a New Setup.  They will be asked to select their car, their engine, and a name for their setup.  On the next screen, the user will be brought to an interface similar to the Garage->Spare Parts screen within Nitto Legends.  After selecting a part category, the user will be presented with a list of parts from which they will choose their setup’s part.  If the part name is already added, they will have the option to do so.  (Since this was just released, most part will need to be manually added).  After all parts have been selected, the user will be asked to input the horsepower, torque, and any additional notes for their setup (such as shift points).  Then the user will have the option to add ratios for their setup.  Finally, the user must select whether to keep their setup completely private, reviewable with password only, or public.

Setups can be easily searched through the “Setups” tab as well.  The search includes variables such as car, engine, elapsed time, H2H or Bracket, engine type, and even how much Street Credit the creator of the setup or ratios has.  Which brings me to another point:

2.0Legends.com is tightly integrated with Nitto Legends.  We have your avatar, street credit, team name, and badges just by you registering.  However, please note that we are in no way affiliated with Nitto Legends or Nitto Tire, we’re just a fan website devoted to enhancing your Nitto Legends gaming experience.

Please, take a minute to register and check out all that the new 2.0Legends has.  The site is by no means completed and I would appreciate it if you can post any comments, suggestions, or bugs in the forum.  Also, feel free to just chat!
