Starting today, LiveDigital is bringing together tuners of all kinds. Fans of The Fast and the Furious series can showoff their ride by uploading a 90-second video to the Online Showoff event page. One Grand Prize winner will receive a private screening of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift for up to one hundred of their closest friends, a profile feature in DSport Magazine, and $1,000.

Hosted by LiveDigital, the online community focused on providing every tool for users to facilitate their entire digital lifestyle, the Online Showoff event gives tuners the ability to share their showoff video and connect with others in a way they never have before -- online. The videos will be displayed on the LiveDigital Online Showoff event page where members of the LiveDigital community can post comments and vote for the hottest entry through June 9, 2006.

RJ DeVera (http://rjdevera.livedigital.com/), host of MTV's Trick It Out, and longtime import car model, Kaila Yu (http://kailayu.livedigital.com/) will moderate throughout the event, sharing their takes on the video submissions prior to announcing the winners on June 9, 2006.

"The Fast And The Furious series is supported by an immense social and communal fan base that bonds together over their passion for fast cars and thrill seeking adventures," said Doug Neil, Senior Vice President of Digital Marketing at Universal Pictures. "LiveDigital has a built-in audience that likes to connect, express and engage over the very elements that we are excited about in this film."

The third installment in The Fast and the Furious series takes viewers to the streets of Tokyo and the colorful underground world of drift racing. The trailer and film profile can be viewed at http://fftd.livedigital.com/.

"Teaming with Universal on this film is a natural," said LiveDigital and Oversee.net's CEO Lawrence Ng. "There is a built in online audience -- all one has to do is check out the LiveDigital auto communities. Car culture, whether it's hot rods, drifting, classic cars or import tuning, is an evolving social movement worldwide. Since our launch, members have been blogging about, posting and showing off their cars. With the FFTD Online Showoff, we are melding this unique community's love of cars with their desire to invent, create and experience through sharing."

The FFTD Online Showoff event is open now and runs through June 2, 2006. LiveDigital members and visitors can log on to cast votes for their favorite showoffs through June 9, 2006, with the grand prize announced on June 16, 2006. The top voted "showoff" will be awarded the grand prize, with 5 runner-up contestants receiving FFTD prize packs.
