V8 Supercar fans have a chance to take on Bathurst 1000 champions Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup when they attend the eGames Expo.  Sure it won’t be actually in a V8, instead the racing duo will go head-to-head against fans on a N-Gage video game.

At the eGames Expo in Melbourne this week there will be a bunch of game enthusiasts and plenty of gaming companies there to sate their needs.

Furthermore, there will be a couple of sports-fellows along for the ride.  This time in the form of Bathurst 1000 champions  Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup, rocking up to the N-Gage stand to go head to head against fans.

According to the N-Gage folks: This Friday night racing sensations Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes, from the TeamVodafone V8 Supercar team, will be making a special appearance at the Nokia N-Gage stand at the annual eGames Expo. Fresh off the back of their historic win at the 2008 Bathurst 1000, these sporting legends will be getting into the gaming spirit to mark the start of the biggest interactive event in Australia.

Visitors to the stand can go head-to-head with Jamie or Craig on an N-Gage game for the chance to win some great prizes and experience the new range of N-Gage gaming titles.
Staged alongside the Digital Lifestyle Show, eGames gives visitors the chance to get ‘hands on’ with literally anything and everything from the world of electronic games. At the event, Nokia will be showcasing their next generation N-Gage mobile gaming platform.
