UK video games retailer GAME has announced that they’ll be hosting an upcoming UK Championship for Need For Speed: Shift to find the country’s best virtual race driver.
Contestants will need to prove their worth by setting the fastest lap time on an undisclosed track, with the fastest racers progressing through to the Grand Final, held at Thorpe Park on Saturday 26th September. The winner will bag themselves a Nissan 350z sports car, which a quick Google search tells us is worth around £30,000. The runner up will win a NFS: Shift branded racing jacket and Need For Speed Scalextrix set.
And even if you’re not good enough to make it to the final, everyone who competes will walk away with a Need For Speed: Shift keyring and a certificate with their lap time.
The Championship will take place across 46 of GAME’s UK stores, kicking off in Tunbridge Wells next Friday, 28th August. For a complete list of all the stores hosting the event and the relevant dates, click here.
