TOKYO JAPAN, Nov 9 - JokerWorks LLC, a real time internet company in Japan, is pleased to announce that they are ready to release "Joker Racer R/C Server" specifically designed for R/C cars.

Joker Racer R/C Server is a small-sized and power-efficient linux server designed for radio control cars. You can drive your R/C cars over the internet with your browser by connecting the store-sold web camera and the standard servo/speed controllers of your R/C car.

We start providing Joker Racer R/C server for those who want to use our service for promotional events. Joker Racer R/C Server enables you to accommodate virtual guests of your real events or to advertise your service/product by giving visitors the unique real-time "driving" experience.

As for the event use, we will provide "Free-For-Event" plan to support public events by giving the opportunity for those who actually can not visit the place. (If you are interested in Free-For-Event plan, please apply from Joker Racer web site.)

Note: iPhone application will be released in 2010.

JokerWorks will ship a limited amount of Joker Racer R/C Servers within this year.
