Race Stirling Moss on Xbox Live

Apparently he likes a bit of Forza.

We don't normally write these up, because if you're the sort of person who wants to play Barbie Horse Adventure with Marilyn Manson then it's probably best you do go off somewhere else to find that information, but even we were intrigued when Microsoft told us that Sir Stirling Moss - him of 74 Formula One Grand Prix races fame - will be competing against Xbox Live players in Forza Motorsport 2 on Thursday 28th June as part of its "Game With Fame" campaign.

And with Forza riding high in the UK charts, it's a safe bet some of you will be interested, providing you can tear yourself away from adorning your Pontiac with giant willies. If that's the case, then you should email your name, age, nationality and gamertag to stirling@gamewithfame.net. The man himself will be online from 12.00 to 14.00 GMT, and if you're selected to play, you'll receive all the required information in response.

Meanwhile, the rest of you can enjoy yourself on our Forza Motorsport 2 gamepage, where nearly 200 people claim to have bought it since it came out. Have you added it to your Game Collection on Eurogamers yet? And have we written enough to file the copy and get back to the exciting task of playing Harry Potter and the Endless Running Around of Hogwarts? Yes.
