We’ve just received these exclusive shots from Team Hankook drifter Eric O’Sullivan of a recent photo launch for Need For Speed Hot Pursuit and Toys 4 Big Boys exhibition in Dublin. O’Sullivan has teamed up with giant game publisher Electronic Arts to bring elements of Need For Speed Hot Pursuit to life as part of the live action arena at one of Irelands biggest events.

EA Need for Speed™ Hot Pursuit is the official Videogame at this years show and the Live Action Arena will showcase top Irish drift driver Eric O’Sullivan as he takes on his opponent in a live cops vs. racer pursuit, not for the faint hearted! You will also get the chance to enjoy an exclusive preview of the Need for Speed Hot Pursuit videogame from EA before it even hits the shelves and experience the adrenaline and intensity of a high-speed cop pursuit for yourself!

This hot action racing game brings the franchise back to its roots, with thrilling cops vs. racer chases and an all-new online network called Need for Speed Autolog. It’s here that players can compare racing stats and automatically get personalised game play recommendations from their friends – a feature that is poised to transform online racing for the connected generation.  Need for Speed™ Hot Pursuit recently won the prestigious ‘Best Racing Game’ award at the Electronic Entertainment Expo from the Game Critics Awards and is available nationwide from Friday 19th November on XBOX, PS3, PC & Wii consoles.

Eric & his Need For Speed Corolla will be making a special appearance this Saturday at the Down Rally, Castlewellan. The penultimate round of the Hankook MSA Northern Rally Championship will feature 2 of Irelands Team Hankook drift cars on display in the service park for the duration of the event before heading to the Nitro Festival in Belfast on Sunday October 24th.
