1997 ATBW Blog Race

The 1997 ATBW Blog Race was the second ATBW Blog Race after the 1993 ATBW Blog Race and before the 2001 ATBW Blog Race. It was led by Merrill Studios, with participating companies including Signature Studios, Rose Gold Studios, Wedgehead Studios, and Elephant Studios.

It was hosted on June 26, 1997 online by Merrill Studios in a fictional game map which had five lanes for each of the participants, each of them racing each other in race cars and semi trucks in separate tracks. The same track was used as in the previous race, only having improved graphics quality and polygons instead of pixels like in the previous race, making the game quality larger.

Wedgehead Studios won first in this race, Signature Studios won second, and Merrill Studios won third. There were also 750 people in the game as opposed to only 300 in the previous race due to limitations.
