News
This time around we have some important news to give. We'll start off with the first of four interviews about the Birth of ProStreet: Exclusive Interview With Hubinette. Who is Hubinette you might ask. Well, his full name is Samuel Hubinette, 2004 and 2006 drift driver, champion for the Team Mopar. His car is a Dodge Charger SRT8, currently clocked at 700HP! If you want more details, view the movie by visiting THIS link.

We save the best 'till last, so we have something from the president of EA Games, Frank Gibeau, saying that it might be true that future Need For Speed games to get back to their roots. It appears that with the new racing game from EA, ProStreet, they did lost customers, since they threw away the open world police chases, underground and illegal street racing, instead giving them closed and legal circuit races. Gibeau promises that the next NFS game will have it's open world racing back and a "highway battle" mode. When they said "back to it's roots", don't expect that they refer to those point-to-point races, with exotic rides all the way, but surely they meant the Underground series and the recently Most Wanted.
