The Driver's Experience: The Zone

Submitted by Drew Hahn on Tue, 2009-09-22 14:00

Now that Need for Speed SHIFT has launched and is available in stores, we're proud to present the continuation of THE DRIVER'S EXPERIENCE.

The Zone features three of the drivers (Chris Rado, Tommy Milner, and Vaughn Gittin Jr.) talking about what's it's like to be in the zone.  One of my favorite lines from The Zone comes from Tommy Milner:

"If you're in the zone, the only thing that's in your head is basically is just...what you're hearing in the car...what you're feeling from the car."

This is a very cool film! It's interesting to hear Chris, Tommy and JR talk about the zone because when they describe the feeling they get when they're in the zone, they all essentially say the same thing; the car becomes an extension of their body.

Check it out for yourself:

We don't often give enough credit to the guys who make the videos so I thought it would be nice to put their name in lights for these videos as, I hope you agree, they did a fantastic job with all these videos.
