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.
