Carmageddon: U.S. Celebrations!

Yes, it’s official! The news that Carmageddon is back has been such a hit in California, that the authorities have decided to dedicate a whole weekend to the game!

This weekend (July 16/17th) the 405 Freeway will be completely closed to public transport, in order to allow the Carmageddon racers to do their thing, with minimal disruption to normal road users. And in order to compensate for the lack of traffic targets, the public are being urged to take to the streets on foot – so there will be plenty of BIG splatter bonus opportunities on offer…

Ex-governor Arnold “Arnie” Schwarzenegger is going to be out on the streets attempting to swat Auto Scum racers off the road using his bare hands. Apparently sources close to the massive actor tell us that he’s itching to play the role of Teutonic tracked vehicle driver Heinz Faust in the upcoming Hollywood blockbuster Carmageddon movie. We’ll keep you informed of news on that front as it breaks.

So, a big thank you and well done to California for celebrating everyone’s favourite game! Have an "awesome" weekend y'all, and remember: Look both ways before crossing!
