Also, now Geometry Compiler will block geometry (I didn't quite understand what this means, possibly something like blocked models for GTA)

Mazda MX-5, also known as Miata - it is a fixture of American weekends. This 167-hp beauty is one of the lightest cars in Need for Speed The Run.

Cool cars, exciting journeys and Need for Speed, the world's best-selling racing series – is it possible to enter this world?
Electronic Arts and Need for Speed are launching a search to find new faces for the European Need for Speed advertising campaign. As part of the selection, two girls will be chosen with vibrant individuality, powerful energy and refined style who like cars and video games.
The winners will represent the Need for Speed brand at themed events in 2012, including Need for Speed presentations at international video game exhibitions across Europe, as well as the Need for Speed team's appearance at the prestigious FIA GT3 European Championship and the Euro Drift program.
Qualifying rounds will be held in five countries: France, Germany, Norway, Russia and the UK. The representatives of each country who win the regional competition will continue to compete for the chance to represent the Need for Speed brand in the final, which will take place in November - immediately before the release of the long-awaited game Need for Speed The Run.
The Russian qualifying round will take place from July 12 to August 28, 2011 on the automotive portal smotra.ru and will consist of two stages. In the first stage, through public voting from July 18 to July 31, 10 semi-finalists with the highest number of votes will be selected. In the second stage, two winners will be selected from among them to represent Russia in the final of the selection.
