Need For Speed IRL: New Activation Gets Fans Involved Making Epic Car


EA Games, in conjunction with Zen Garage, are bringing the Need For Speed franchise to life with one cracker of an activation dubbed Crew Create. We’re giving them a shoutout ’cause it’s a killer idea and that’s what PEDESTRIAN.TV’s all about. Stay up to date with the operation via Facebook and with the hashtag #NFSCC. Keep reading to find out more. 

Any gamer worth their console has spent a couple of hours, if not 100+, cracking a sweat playing Need For Speed. 

The latest rendition, released not too long ago, is the franchise’s 22nd instalment. For them to have made 22 games, surely they know what’s good
Need For Speed is the gift that keeps on giving – like a mature-aged student who doesn’t try to answer questions in a lecture with more questions (if only). They’ve teamed up Zen Garage to take the game off the screen and into tangible existence. 
We’ll let this nifty video explain what’s going on before we confuse you any further:

It’s now week two of this activation which is all about the body of the car. Seeing as NFS are hell-bent on injecting this chariot of awesomeness with as much ‘shit yeah’ as possible, they’ve called upon surfboard designer Hayden Cox, of Haydenshapes, to have his way with it. 
Hayden’s developed a mastery of all things fibre glass through his involvement in the conceptualisation and design of cutting-edge surfboards. As it turns out, designing a board is strikingly similar to designing a bodykit for a car. Hayden is helping Zen Garage look at car body kits in a new light as part of Need For Speed, Crew Create. The Final body kit will include a bespoke inclusion with Hayden’s special touch of surf inspired customisation. 

Welcome to week 2 of Need For Speed – Crew Create. Where we put you, in the driver’s seat as we customise Australia’s…

The finished car will be unveiled during the End of Year Meet on December 12th, at the Sydney Dragway, in Eastern Creek. FYI: the End of Year Meet is one of the biggest expos in ‘Straya for motor enthusiasts.

Keep an eye on Need For Speed’s FB page HERE to get involved – your comment could win you a flight to Sydney for the End of Year Festival, as well as a nights acomm + $250 spending money. It’s a win-win, people.
