San Rafael, CA, April 7, 2009 - Webcarzz, Inc. today announced a planned corporate name change to Vector Entertainment and product name change to Vector City Racers. The new product name, Vector City Racers, is intended to better represent the Company's casual MMO/virtual world. Vector Entertainment is developing an upcoming virtual world targeted to boys and their affinity for racing. In celebration of the new name, Vector Entertainment also announced the Fastest Road to Fun Contest.
"As we develop the game, we have been conducting deep consumer research to ensure we deliver a product that meets the needs of our target audience. As a direct result of our findings, Vector City Racers more accurately reflects the game's visual style and unique gameplay experience that is geometrically structured," said Chris Bergstresser, CEO, Vector Entertainment.
"Since the CarStructor tool for building vehicles to race in the game was first launched in January, kids have been creating the usual cars, trucks and planes, as well as original vehicles depicting such items as a "pogo stick", "pirate hat", and "cheese sandwich". Continued Bergstresser, "The game's design has evolved to encompass so much more of what a child's imagination can hold. By offering kids tools and an environment to unlock their creativity, we are giving them a sense of freedom and empowerment not seen in online games before. There is no limit to what children can create with this game, as evidenced by the examples above."

The Fastest Road to Fun Contest has been updated to start on May 18, 2009. To enter, or for details, please visit Vector City Racers.
