SPEED Channel and Fantasy Sports, Inc. Expand Promotional Relationship

Silverstar Holdings Ltd.
today announced its wholly owned subsidiary, Fantasy Sports Inc.
www.Fantasycup.com)">, has entered into an agreement with SPEED Channel that
includes multiple fantasy sports promotion initiatives on SPEED Channel
properties.
Under the agreement, all Fantasy Sports' NASCAR, BUSCH Series and One Race
Challenge games will be designated as SPEED Fantasy Cup Auto Racing Games.
SPEED Channel will promote the games prominently on its Web site
www.speedtv.com)">, and extensively over the air, prior to and during the
course of the NASCAR season. Both companies will share naming and branding
rights of the games. Additional cross promotion opportunities, such as
dedicated weekly fantasy racing segments on SPEEDTV and future games are
being considered by the parties.
As is the case with all Fantasy Sports, Inc. games -- STATS, Inc. will be
responsible for back-end, turnkey operations management of the SPEED
Channel games including development, Web hosting, technical operations and
customer service.
Clive Kabatznik, CEO of Silverstar Holdings, said, "This agreement builds
on our successful joint promotional relationship with SPEED Channel in
2004. We anticipate the SPEED Fantasy Cup Auto Racing Games will be
prominently advertised across all SPEED Channel platforms. In particular,
there will be significant on air promotion for the games that will start in
mid January and run throughout the year. We are pleased to have
strengthened our association with the number one dedicated racing channel.
This further enhances our profile as the leading provider of NASCAR related
fee-based fantasy sports games and provide us direct access to the 56
million NASCAR fans in the US."
"SPEED Channel consistently explores opportunities to reach out to our
viewers and improve its offerings -- on-air, off-air online, and in 2005
wireless too," said Kevin Annison, SPEED Channel VP of Business Development
& Operations. "Speed Channel is making an aggressive push into the fantasy
game space and these games will be an integral part of that strategy in
2005. Partnering with STATS, Inc., and Fantasy Sports gives SPEED fantasy
game offerings instant credibility. Home to NASCAR TV, it only makes sense
for SPEEDTV.com to offer visitors as many ways as possible to connect to
their favorite sport. This new relationship with Fantasy Sports and their
NASCAR Nextel Cup and NASCAR Busch Series games gives race fans yet another
reason to make regular visits to the SPEEDTV.com Web site and to tune in to
SPEED Channel's NASCAR programming."
