Street Racing Syndicate sponsors car show

Namco's upcoming underground racer Street Racing Syndicate will be the official game sponsor for the car expo Hot Import Nights. The multicity expo showcases cars, music, and models of the kind seen in Street Racing Syndicate, which was heavily influenced by the underground racing depicted in the Fast and the Furious movies. Players can equip licensed vehicles with hundreds of aftermarket parts and race them through courses in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Miami. Xbox, PlayStation 2, and GameCube versions of Street Racing Syndicate are due out at the end of August. A PC version is in development and tentatively scheduled for release sometime this fall.
