Need for Speed’s next top model

In what it describes as ‘the ultimate job’, publisher EA has announced that it is to hire two European ‘spokesmodels’ for its Need for Speed franchise.

The two winners will act as brand ambassadors at events throughout 2012 including games expos and at the FIA GT3 European Championship.

They will also grab 1,500 worth of entertainment merchandise.

"This continent wide search is set to discover two women with boundless energy, an outgoing personality and an edgy style fused with a passion for cars and gaming," the press release claims.

Presumably they have to look like models, too.

The participating countries are the UK, France, Germany, Russia and Norway. The winners will be revealed in November.

UK entrants can apply here. At the time of writing there appears to be just three entries, and one of them is none other than GaBoom founder and Dragon’s Den star Jessica Ratcliffe.
