The setup at the Blackpool track is epic. You'll be racing in the format of your choice, either as a Le Mans style endurance challenge or a straight-up GP. Choose the former if you want to build a team bond between the boys (useful on a night out), or go for the Grand Prix if you prefer head to head competition.
A Grand Prix can be a brilliantly fun way to get the boys playing together again. A little contest never hurt anyone, especially when there are little irritations to sort out. There's nothing like no sleep and loads of beer to fray tempers - and there's nothing like a spot of real life Mariokart to smooth things out again!
