Here's more news about the tracks from Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed. By the way, this is the penultimate track update. There are only 4 left.

This time, for some reason, there are only 3 tracks:

Circuit De SPA
AUTOPOLIS
LAGUNA SECA (Mazda RaceWay)

P.S Many racers and fans call Circuit De SPA the most interesting track in the world. And for example the track AUTOPOLIS will be one of the most difficult(if not the most difficult) tracks of the game, due to the sharp turns after long straights(note: give a little gas or brake in the wrong place - either you'll fly off or lose an extra 2-3 seconds)

Criterion Games has released an update for the PC version of Need For Speed Hot Pursuit.
The update fixes several gameplay issues that caused crashes and errors in the game.

So what exactly do we get with the update? We get the following fixes and issues:

The fixes address (47%) of the crashes that were caused by 10 serious problems encountered by players during gameplay. In particular, crashes, freezes and rendering issues on ATI Radeon X1300, X1550 and X1800 graphics cards, have been resolved. Fixes have also been included for Intel, specifically integrated graphics chipsets such as Intel GMA 500, Intel GMA 600 and Intel GMA X3000, which run on old graphics drivers.
A critical bug causing the game to crash when rendering on older-generation graphics cards that do not support DirectX Shader Model 3.0.(yes, far too many graphics cards without DirectX Shader Model 3.0 will be able to run Hot Pursuit, they're hilarious)

With a slight delay, I want to show you the next four tracks that will be in Shift 2 Unleashed.
The names of these tracks: Dubai, Gledale, Dijon Prenois and Ebisu

And I noticed that one of these tracks, more precisely Ebisu, will be used as drift-track.
