• New game for the iPhone and iPad now available in the German App store
• Online version on the Continental website
• Registered players can win a weekend at the 24-hour race 

Hanover, May 11, 2011. The iPhone and iPad game ContiTireRace is entering the second round as a summer edition and is now available for download from the German App store. Players can enjoy two race tracks known as Norway and California, which they should complete as quickly as possible.

‘Speed-ups’ can be collected at certain points to briefly accelerate the tires (which play a decisive factor in the race) and enable the players to climb the high score table. During the race, players must complete two laps while swiftly avoiding obstacles and taking the ideal racing line through the bends wherever possible. The new ContiSportContact 5, a high performance summer tire for highly driven sportsmen and women, is at the heart of the action on the two race tracks available for selection.

“In addition to the version for the iPhone, a version for the iPad is also available in the App store”, explained Carola Natzel, E-Business Manager at Continental. “The game can also be found and played online on our website at www.continental-reifen.de. Anyone who wants to ‘drive’ online can choose from two different tracks: Whereas the ‘Norway’ and ‘California’ tracks are available on the iPhone and the iPad, players of the online version can choose between the ‘Black Forest’ and ‘Southern Italy’ tracks.” To launch the new ContiTireRace, the leading European tire manufacturer is entering registered users into a draw to win a weekend at the 24-hour race at the Nürnburgring and two sets of car tires. Competition entry closes on June 03, 2011.
