GRID 2’s expansive career mode will challenge players to be fast, be first and be famous as they enter a stunning new world of competitive motorsport. In career mode, players will experience aggressive wheel-to-wheel racing against advanced AI where each spectacular race unfolds with cinematic immersion. Building on the handling model from GRID, the new TrueFeel™ Handling System will use real physics to hit a sweet spot between accessibility and simulation and deliver handling that is approachable yet challenging to master.

GRID 2 will also set new standards for a racing multiplayer experience with an entirely distinct and extensive gameplay component and unique progression system. Deep customization options and integration with RaceNet – the online community portal for Codemasters Racing games which tracks player’s races, rewards and rivals – will offer further immersion and connectivity in GRID 2’s new world of motorsport.

Codemasters and Rockstar Energy Drink have launched the Rockstar Race Challenge, an online competition that will allow GRID 2 players to put their racing skills to the ultimate test.

Each week for five weeks from today, players who have signed to RaceNet can enter a weekly Rockstar Global Challenge on GRID 2 which will put their racing skills to the test. Each participant will also receive a Rockstar liveried Aston Martin Vanquish for entering and the top ten placed contestants will take home bragging rights and swag, including a year-long supply of Rockstar Energy Drink, Skullcandy headphones, T-Shirts, sunglasses, $100 GameStop gift card and more. 

To celebrate GRID 2’s release, Rockstar Energy Drink is also holding an online sweepstakes where gamers can enter to win a Rockstar edition Xbox 360, a copy of GRID 2 and a year’s supply of Rockstar Energy Drinks. The sweepstakes runs through June 30, 2013.
