Quote by quakecon.orgimage: corvetteMesquite TX - July 7th, 2008 - Ventrilo, the premier group voice communications program used in tournaments and multiplayer games, is thrilled to announce that it's sponsoring the first annual "QuakeCon Ultimate Power Up" Sweepstakes contest. One lucky winner will be driving away from QuakeCon 2008, in a brand new 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, valued at approximately $55,000. The 13th annual QuakeCon is North America's largest video game festival, party and tournament and will be held at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas from July 31-August 3, 2008. QuakeCon admission is free to all attendees.

"We're extremely excited about our partnership with id Software to be a QuakeCon sponsor this year," said Brian Knapp, president, Flagship Industries. "This is our way to thank the hardcore gaming community for helping make Ventrilo the preferred group communications tools."

The 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe to be given away will be Jetstream Blue, a new color introduced in 2008, with 3LT trim and a Z51 performance package. The car will be on display in the main exhibition area.

"As a long time Corvette fan and owner, I know Corvettes stand alone as an icon of American performance," said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. "Ventrilo brings gamers that same dedication to performance with their incredible voice applications. It's going to be awesome to watch one lucky fan drive away in a dream car, compliments of Ventrilo and QuakeCon."

250 tickets for the Corvette drawing will be awarded to QuakeCon attendees for everything from performance in the QuakeCon Pro and Quick Draw Tournaments to participation in other QuakeCon contests, events and random drawings. The winner will be randomly selected on Saturday, August 2, as part of the event's tournament finals party.

Nah not yet, and tbh there still is a chance for W:ET to get another Quakecon in order to promote RTCW2, but seeing there is no release date for RTCW2 yet it probably won't be at Quakecon 2008.
