Electronic Arts announces the Team Racing pack, the first downloadable content for Need for Speed SHIFT, the latest installment in the racing series. The DLC is due on December 1, and while the press release only mentions the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions, we have confirmed with EA that the DLC will be released for the Windows edition of the racing sequel on December 1 as well. Here's a bit on what to expect:

The Team Racing mode brings a fresh new challenge to SHIFT by completely redefining online racing. In this mode, two teams of up to six racers will battle against each other for online supremacy. Individual driving strategy and playing it safe won't work as team tactics and 200 mph split-second decisions are required to push your team to the podium.

As part of the new content, players will also get access to these legendary racers:

. 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 427
. 1967 Shelby GT-500
. 1969 Dodge Charger R/T
. 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T
. 1998 Toyota Supra Mark IV

The Team Racing content pack is custom-made for Need for Speed SHIFT, a spectacular racing game originally released in September 2009. The game introduces a brutal first-person crash dynamic and a signature cockpit view that delivers a true driver's experience. The game further personalizes the experience through the all-new driver profile -- a unique persona based on the driving skill and style of each player.
