Before we could get a game in hand, the representative of the developers shared with us some information relating to the future aspects of Grid 2. The answer to the first question was, you guessed it, the duration of the game's development:

So the gas pedal is released any time soon.The third type - the race track: still the most important part of the game. You are waiting for the worldwide race tracks, including the Yas Marina. "

A second category please us Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, and a modern version of Chevrolet Camaro SS.There will also be introduced traction braking system. The third category will be McLaren MP4-12C and the BAC Mono. The fourth will be Pagani Huayra and Koenigsegg Agera R. "
