With the release of NFS: SHIFT 2 Unleashed just a few days, the people behind the game’s marketing has released another promotional video of the game – quite arguably, the best one we’ve seen – featuring Time Attack champ, Chris Rado. In the video, Rado discusses the thrills and dangers that come with some of the most breathtaking and dangerous corners in auto racing today. From the world famous Eau Rouge at Spa-Franchorchamps to the sharp corners of ‘The Mine’ at the Nurburgring, these corners are both famous and infamous, with the latter serving reminder that the slightest twitch of the car ends up becoming a one-way ticket to the concrete walls.
