  Do you love racing games? Do you dream of a jetset lifestyle? More importantly, are you not hideous? Then you could travel the world in 2012, helping to spread the word about EA Need for Speed: The Run as one of two official pokesmodelsfor the game.

  It all to help promote the latest in the evergreen racing series, which breaks with tradition for this latest iteration. Using a cross country US road race as its basis, Need for Speed: The Run lets you exit the vehicles for the first time, evading cops in arcade foot chases and plotting your own course across America. Developer EA Black Box, responsible for eight of the seventeen Need for Speed games, will be hoping to build on the success of last year Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit which attracted critical acclaim and blockbuster sales.

  The modelling contest, which is only open to women in an outrageous display of sexual discrimination, will pick two UK entrants who will also take home 500 worth of home entertainment kit. If youe interested, or just want to enter your mum, visit ukspokesmodel.needforspeed.com.
