Our next spotlight is someone still relatively new to the Garage but has gained the respect of many. His drawings as well are something to see check them out in the fan creations topic
Here is a lil more about Victor Braga e Bravo
What's your favorite NFS Title?
My favorite is the first one, "The Road & Track presents: The Need For Speed". It came with my Playstation 1 when my mother bought it.
What are you doing when not playing NFS?
During my free time I like to draw cars, most of them are made using Paint, but sometimes I use Photoshop or draw in paper too. Drawing is my hobby. When I'm not drawing I go out with friends, go to parties, go to the gym and stuff. Another passion is cycling, I love to hit the roads and go to another cities with my bike. When I'm not in free time, I go to university and study (mechanical engineering).
Whats your favorite car within NFS World?
I don't have one favorite, usually I like 80s and 90s cars and some muscles too. I use Volkswagen Golf in lot of races because my father had an old Passat (this image is an example of it, it's not my dad's), with a front very similar to the Golf in World. Others that I like is Countach, Supra, RX7 and other more that was in the firsts NFS series.
What is your most memorable moment in any NFS game?
Many of NFS first series participated of my childhood, I love tracks of NFS Hot Pursuit 1, like Atlantica/Aquatica, Redrock Ridge/Lost Canyons, Rocky Pass, Hometown and others. In NFS 1 I loved the cars and in High Stakes the pursuits.
What would you change if you were a dev on World?
I think I would contact more frequently with players, listen their suggestions for the game, things that devs are supposed to do.
What dream car in real life would you love to drive on the autobahn?
Lots of them, but I think a Lamborghini Diablo or a full tuned old Passat would be good. I like 90s italian supersports and compact "sleepers".
What brought you into the NFS franchise?
When my mother bought a Playstation, NFS first title came with it.
Which NFS classic would you like to have in your personal garage?
Lamborghini Diablo SV or Countach from first NFS Hot Pursuit.
Favorite NFS song?
Story of The Year - And the Hero Will Drown, but I like other musics too.
How would you rate EAs attempt at bringing an MMO racer back?
At first time I was disappointed with cars performance distance, but what they did in Corvette Z06 changed my mind. I know it's a slow process, but the NFS team is making changes in the game. Bugs happens in all games and cheaters are players' fault, not development's team. I think they are doing a good work. From 0 to 10? 8 I think is good

Our next spotlight I think needs no introduction but he's gonna give it to you anyways 
He's part of the event staff and a awesome person to know he is as I call him Kawizaki errr Kawashi
I am Michael Cameron Cutler, a 19-year-old college student highly interested in writing fictional literature and video gaming. Best believe that as long as there is something of interest for me, I will (attempt at least) to write a fiction story on it.  In World-Garage, I am known as many things, but above all else, I am well known as the creator of the ever-popular Performance Part Guide.
Whats your favorite NFS Title?
I would have to say the original Need for Speed Underground, as it contains the least riciest customization system next to The Run. Although the visual tuning alone is not the reason for it being my favorite. In my honest opinion, it is one of very few NFS games that give me a true sense of speed, especially in my favorite compact car of all time, the Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. Not to mention, it's the only NFS game I've played with a tolerable story.
What are you doing when not playing NFS?
When not racing my arse off, I'm doing what I do best, writing. My most notable writings have been the posts in the RPG "Bayview Nights", ran by Blahhead, and whilst I have no involvement in the starting developments of it, all I can say is that it has been an absolute honor to be a part of it.  I also have two other projects, A.R.M.E.D. and Need for Speed: Beyond Limits, a fanfiction that I have not touched for months now Along with those would be watching/reading independent or Progressive-leaning news sources and listening to video game soundtracks.
Whats your favorite car within NFS World?
That would be my all-Pro 240SX. It has been with me through thick and thin, helping me stay competitive with Silvias and a few select T2s and T3s. This is the only car I refuse to sell in-game. That and my Z4 GT3.
What would you change if you were a dev on world?
First of all, optimizing the game. This time last year, I could play as much of the game as I wanted to and lag wasn’t an issue. Now, however, I have so much lag that I can only do my Treasure Hunt and a few TEs before the game - and my laptop - starts to lag badly. And then there’s car balance. While I do understand that lightweight cars are better for racing, all of the cars should have a chance. Marc speaks of making cars in every tier competitive, but the problem is that most cars in said tiers can’t compete period.
What dream car in real life would you love to drive on the autobahn?
That would be the 248 MPH beast of a Saleen S7 Twin Turbo. Its ability to go from a standstill to 60 in 2.8 with the power of a GT500 Super Snake and the weight of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS makes it one of the best American supercars ever made.
What is your most memorable moment in any nfs game?
It would have to be the moment you kick Razor’s arrogant arse and get your M3 GTR back. A perfect example of “the only one who truly knows how to control the car is the owner itself”.
What brought you into the NFS franchise?
To be truthful, my first NFS game was Need for Speed III on the PC, but what really got me into the franchise were two things. The first was getting NFS Underground for the Playstation 2. It is a game that I enjoyed so much (I can’t say I still enjoy it, my PS2 died sadly  ), that when I found a site by the name of NFSUnlimited.net in 2007, I joined up and started posting my works in the UG-era NFS games I owned for the PS2 (all except Carbon).
Which NFS classic would you like to have in your personal garage?
The race version BMW M3 GTR. Hands down.
Favorite NFS song?

How would you rate EAs attempt at bringing an MMO racer back?
I think the majority of World-Garage can agree when I say “Need for Speed World is far from perfect", what with the absurdly high Boost prices in many countries, the skewered balancing of cars, the manifestation of hackers and cheaters, and the list goes on. But hey, for all of its problems, it’s a pretty damn good MMORG. It is the only one, in my honest opinion, that has kept me interested for a good amount of time, unlike TDU2 which was a turnoff as soon as I saw the trailer. Although at least with the Murcielago now available for in-game cash, it’ll be interesting to see how well the free players fare with a Boost buyer such as myself. (Although my last purchase was in March lol)[/quote]

Some people know who I am because my channel in Youtube that is a little bit popular at least Ive heard that! Feel free to visit it: SamanthaTV. and there is not to much to talk about me, Im a "normal" girl.
Whats your favorite NFS Title
I think my favorite NFS game is the Most Wanted, I liked the customization from NFSU2 but the gameplay and the feeling of adrenaline and action is more hard in Most Wanted, besides the pursuits add a lot of more extreme sensation, NFS Hot Pursuit 2 and NFSHP 2010 are very good games too! I love em! I love almost every NFS title... I guess Undercover is the exception 
What are you doing when not playing NFS
Im working or drawing stuff, recently Im making more photoshop stuff, maybe I will show you what I can do soon. Im studying graphic design, it's an interesting way to spend time because you're studying and at the same time you're having fun! thats how it works for me at least
What dream car in real life would you love to drive on the autobahn
I like hundred of cars! but Im truly in love with the Nissan GT-R V-spec!!!!!!! I love this car, and drive it there should be like to die and go to heaven!  however I have an Accord and thats fine for me... Im thinking to buy a Nissan Rogue! well back in topic, yes the GT-R is my only option! I don't have more time to think this, it's so simple for me!
What is your most memorable moment in any nfs game?
My most memorable moment was in NFSMW, in the last pursuit! I finished the game with my brother! And I still remember my reaction when we finished the last race against Razor, and boom! Cross was waiting for me! haha and how to forget his classic "EVERYONE!!!" was so funny! all that part, Oh oh! Almost I forget to say I was so exiting seeing the M3 jumping and going nowhere! (Palmont lol), epic game!
How would you rate EAs attempt at bringing an MMO racer back?
World? pff! I dont know, fine but not enough, was fun in the first betas and even in the first months of the game, but later everything became in Boost, and Im not a hater of the SB but they are exaggerating, the game it's fine I enjoy playing it but they have to work a little bit more on it, I wish you luck, Ok saying this I rate their attempt with 7.8 of 10.
If you know someone who should be featured in the WG Community Spotlight please message CC or one of the staff.
