Equestria Daily Signs Deal With Nascar, Hooved Driver Crashes New Car Immedtiatly

After hundreds of hours of negotiations, and forcing Nascar officials to watch Friendship is Magic while tied to various pieces of office furniture (We ran out of chairs),  Equestria Daily has finally picked up it's very own stock car.

Unfortunately, our driver crashed it on the first test drive. She suffered minor injuries, but we were able to talk to her on the way out of the hospital, where she was given a band-aid and a lollipop. She wasn't in a very talkative mood, but she did take the time to say (and I quote) 'This beastly contraption is unworthy of the Great and Powerful Trixie's talent! How do you humans tolerate such garbage?' She then demanded another lollipop.

We offered to modify the car, but our budget couldn't cover her demands of perfectly measured, full Aniline dyed leather seats and hoof wheel, studded in diamonds and embroidered with a hat and magic wand. 

We have a new candidate for out next car though!  One of the local mail ponies has volunteered.  Apparently she always wanted to be a professional race car driver, but had trouble successfully communicating it.  Hopefully that turns out better!

(Also thanks to mintbronycrunch for the car! It's awesome!)

You can find the video of this machine of PURE SPEED in action after the break. 

(Also thanks to Phoe for the Trixie section! Whoops!)
(Also  GT: ABARAMAN for the ponies on the side!)

I used to dislike conventional advertising.

Then the billboard and this came along.

Confound these racing sims, they drive me to mistake screenshots for photos.

Oh crap its fake... Uhhh i feel ditzy now :P well i was born a blonde.... so.... yeah....

S.Aura Knight said...

At first I was thinking "Is this an old Gran Turismo?" then I realized it was Forza. Now I wish it was Gran Turismo.

Still, pretty cool, and that is some story.

Mush said...

Why is everypony treating this as real...

Its Forza 3, we churn out this stuff daily on Ponychan.

That was amazing, a very nice tribute to the best site on the interwebs.

why wasnt pinkie pie displayed on the car :(

Sind said...

Nascar?

I'm spotting right turns >.>

LoLZorZs said...

Hahaha now all we need is an actual nascar car with a brony in it ;)

Anonymous said...

see first 3 seconds... *that music + race car demonstration* I LOVE YOU.

MintBerryCrunch said...

Wow, I didn't expect so many people to think this was real.
It's got a FM3 logo in the video.....I'll go ahead and add it to the video title to avoid any more confusion.

pao said...

*sigh* Wrong series. The Cadillac CTS-V runs in the Pirelli World Challenge series, not NASCAR. /pedant

Anonymous said...

Fake. NASCAR doesn't run Cadillacs.

Phoe said...

Figures I don't even get a writer's credit for that. Slave labor, that's what this is.

Mush said...

Hey Mintberrycrunch, what;s your gamertag? If you don't mind me asking...

Anonymous said...

Ah Sethisto, this is the Circuit de la Sarthe (Le Mans.)
Nascar doesn't go there. ;)

MintBerryCrunch said...

Also, thanks for posting this.

Flutterfan said...

For a second I got excited.

S.Aura Knight said...

@PhoeI thought it had your flavor Phoe, but I wasn't certain. Seth, y u no give credit to your team?

Kits said...

you'd think Trixie would've complained that her banner wasn't the one used for the paint job.

UltimaShadow7 said...

I am the only one who thought this was real for a second?

B. said...

Immedtiatly?

Mush said...

Credit goes to GT: ABARAMAN for the ponies on the side of the car...

I am sure he would like to be mentioned.

Anonymous said...

just asking, is the stig a brony?
(in my mind someday:
J.C: some say he is actuslly member of the greatest community and is a brony...some others say he once talked with pinkie pie about world dominatiion...al we know is hes called THe Stig)

Skylark Torch said...

hmmm, I saw NASCAR and was all excited, then I saw the cadillac and immediatley recognized the Forza graphics. Needless to say, I was even more excited.
Nice job on the story, it was... interesting. I actually read through it too!
Watching this video makes me stop downloading pony pics and gives me the urge to make a pony car on Forza (Best racing game ever!)

MintBerryCrunch said...

@Mush,
Yeah, I actually meant to ask for that to be in this post.
I gave him credit in the description and the credits though.

Mush said...

@MintBerryCrunch
Oh ok!

So... is it possible that I could get your gamertag?

MintBerryCrunch said...

@Anonymous.
Maybe Pinkie is the Stig?

Also, I couldn't fit Pinkie in anywhere. There just wasn't enough space for all of them on the car.

It wasn't an easy decision not to include her, but I couldn't do it without hurting the look of the car.

Just pretend she's the driver...yeah, that.

Anonymous said...

... Why is Pinkie Pie, the fastest pony in Equestria (evidenced by the fact that she can get places before Rainbow Dash even knows shes going there) not on the car?

You put Trixie (one of the worst ponies) on the bonnet and you didn't do Pinkie Pie?

Anonymous said...

"brining me all the pony I could handle"

Pickled ponyflesh for everyone!

In other news: that was pretty darned cool.

Flutt3r5hy said...

@ MintBerryCrunch

My GT is Flutt3r5hy and i've just added you on XBL

May i ask why you did this video?

Also, just because i can, here's a link to a car that beats your design by a long shot

You had me for about 2 seconds before I realised it was Forza...

@ 2:37 Anon

....damn....

I'd go for a Hydra like that.

And figures AJ's would have been a Slamvan!

Still trying to figure out which mods the "Generosity", "Magic" and "Laughter" are. My car know-how isn't as good as it once was...

Anonymous said...

@Anonymous
Generosity = Elegy
Magic = Uranus
Laughter = Jester
Loyalty (in vid) = Hydra
Staremaster (in vid) = Rustler
Honesty (not actually shown) = Slamvan

The vehicles the skins add to are listed on the mod's page in the source link.

Your joking, right?

I now have the urge to play Forza 3...

Man, the great and powerful Trixie is one hell of a driver.

Niko Jims said...

Seeing all of these Forza 3 designs makes me want to post my Rainbow Dash one...

Car...WHY YOU NO PINKIE PIE!?

Heliopause said...

@MintBerryCrunch
I was surprised so many people thought the billboard was fake.

Anonymous said...

Well, I guess now I'll be spending my weekend trying to make decent Wonderbolt/Shadowbolt paint schemes for half my Forza garage.

Also, for those of you complaining about the lack of Pinkie Pie on there, I've only seen two full-body designs of her on the in-game storefront where people post things they've made, and both were kinda meh quality. Dunno if that's changed recently, though (although there WAS a pretty decent looking Lyra on there last time I checked, so who knows).

Anonymous said...

That is hacked footage from Real Racing 2.
I have it on my iPad. lol

Marcoooootje1 said...

I kinda hoped it was real xD
But this is awesome too!

KniteRider255 said...

@Anonymous

That's not Real Racing 2. That's Forza Motorsport 3 for the Xbox 360.

KniteRider255 said...

Hey, can you post this car/vinyl on the storefront?

Dude, the music "epicly" sucks, man! I just want to "set" it "on fire" like I do to my "brothers"! Other then that thanks for putting my music out there. =)

Ikusa GT said...

THIS IS NOT A STOCK CAR YOU FOAL

That must have been Derpy driving in the video. She and Applejack are the only ponies I know of with the necessary dexterity to operate a steering wheel.

MintBerryCrunch said...

@ismbof
Yeah, it is pretty terrible isn't it, it was just made by some guy on YouTube who thinks he's good. :P





(for the people who can't tell, that was a joke)

Meh, I'd rather drive a Ferrarity

Shaunnnnnnnnn said...

I still prefer the 458 and Gallardo... But maybe because I worked on them both and they were made from scratch. Whatevs, guess we're gonna have to make pony racing commentaries to go with the competition. I just need to fix my Dazzle. And get back from Turkey.

Anonymous said...

Fantastic. Bronies always amazes me.

Anonymous said...

this is news. making pony decals in forza is no joke.

Shaunnnnnnnnn said...

Pony Forza decals is news? Late news then obviously. I've had pony cars in my garage before they appeared on the Forza storefront. I also believe I created the first ponified car, the Rainbow Dash 2010 Shelby GT500, which was followed by Mush with his Rainbow Dash Mazda.

And if you want an actual Equestria Daily Ford Fusion
Stock Car making, I'll get my team of expert designers (Flutt3rshy and Mush) on it. Show you guys how it's really done. Hell, we've already got like twenty cars we're working on.

Oh, and anyone that's insulting this guys driving, head over to www.equestriaracingworldtour.webs.com and sign up for a few events, then we'll see who's the better driver.

Kruger said...

Ooh, Circuit de la Sarthe. I know that track like the back of my hand. That's the 1968 (I think is the date listed in GRiD) version since it doesn't have the turns during the straight part.

That track was my favorite from GRiD. Circuit de la Sarthe, and Nurburgring (The Behemoth variant) should be in ALL racing games. If not, I can't consider it a racing game.

Circuit de la Sarthe and Nurburgring (The Behemoth) are my favorite racing tracks.

I made these at Toyotaracing.com a few months ago.
