Daily DRVN #17

Glad you decided to swing by, DRVR! I’ve been meaning to ask you… 

So, the mere fact that you’re reading this tells me you’re DRVN, but the question is, will you take the next step and become a Buster?

That’s because $BSTR, the “governmeme” coin for the DRVN Labo ecosystem is right around the corner. We’re not prepared to tell you exactly when just yet, so you’ll have to keep a close eye out for the signs.

The best place to catch our announcements is on 𝕏 at @DRVNlabo & @BasedBusterCoin, as well as in the $BSTR Telegram group… And of course, by being subscribed to DRVN Culture.

In the meantime, our Airdrop Farming Drag Race is going strong until this Friday at 11:59 pm PST (Saturday at 5:59 pm UTC). There is still time to register for the airdrop and multiply your allocation up to 10x by referring subs with your unique referral link.

Oh, and I can’t forget to mention… Holders of certain automotive web3 collections will also see a boost for each asset they own. For the full details, you’ll want to read the post below.

With that PSA out of the way, let’s see what the automotive web3 space has been up to this past week.

OBS World Holds Their First Hybrid Car Show

On Saturday, April 6th OBS World held one of, if not THE first hybrid car shows in the world. Participants had the opportunity to visit the private event at the B'Mine Hotel in Düsseldorf Germany, or attend virtually via the OBS World app.

The only thing more incredible than the game-changing nature of this event was the fact that they got a Porsche 911 GT2RS and a GT3RS up into their high-rise hotel room. Bruh!

Veloce Sim Teams Take 1st & 3rd in Nordschleife 24hr Race

SIM racing is becoming a driving force in the automotive web3 culture, and notable wins only help solidify this incredible synergy.

On Sunday two Veloce teams took podiums in the grueling 24hr Nordschleife race.

P1 in the GT4 class went to a crew of four in their purple VEXT liveried McLaren.

While somehow even more impressively, Luke Whitehead took P3 in the GT3 class, completing the entire 24-hour race entirely solo, with no breaks.

Atlas Navi Releases Drive2Earn 2.0 campaign

DePin, or Decentralized Physical Infrastructure in the automotive sector is inevitable, with the two top contenders being Hivemapper and Atlas Navi. While Hivemapper was struggling with all too familiar Solana woes, Atlas Navi was busy launching their Drive2Earn 2.0 campaign. What exactly does that mean? This 𝕏 post says it all.

BTW, you might be asking how inevitable this space actually is. Here are 6 trillion reasons why it is the future.

Torque Motorsport: Going from SIM to IRL

For those who can’t get enough Torque Drift 2, the logical next step is to upgrade your sim rig for the real thing. Alex Martini shares why he thinks the Toyota GR86 is the best drift car for beginners.

Reader’s Rides

Every new subscriber gets a short series of welcome emails, and one of the first things we ask is for them to share their ride on 𝕏 or Insta. Well, it appears someone finally decided to take us up on our offer!

 @MetroBGW shares his Fiat Abarth 500c. This is how Italy does a hot hatch! It may be cute but it has a dark side. Like Pikachu after his 4th cup of coffee.

Let’s keep it going DRVRs! Post your ride to 𝕏 or Instagram and tag @DRVNlabo for a chance to have your ride featured in a future issue.

That will do it for this issue of Daily DRVN. I hope you enjoyed it. If so please share it with your friends and community. And if you haven’t yet, be sure to subscribe so you can stay in the loop on everything the automotive web3 community is building.
