GRID 2 is probably the most anticipated video game for petrolheads in 2013. The makers of the game, Codemasters, has put a lot of effort into simulating the cars and the tracks, and they seem to have pulled it off. They even managed to impress Chris Harris – who drives all these cars in the real life – with the game’s physics and level of reality. It is not just about the simulation though. GRID 2 also excels in graphics and gameplay, as shown in this new trailer.

In the first GRID 2 gameplay trailer Road Racing locations are well represented as cars including the BMW E30 M3 Sport Evolution, Ford Mustang Mach 1 and Chevrolet Camaro Z28 RS SS 1970 race head-to-head on the California Coast. Track Racing is shown at Austria’s Red Bull Ring, where the Ariel Atom 3, BAC Mono and KTM X-Bow R go flat out around this historic circuit.

Street Racing, meanwhile, is shown in Paris, as marques including the McLaren MP4-12C, Mercedes Benz SL 65 AMG and Corvette Z06 Centennial Edition tear around the Arc de Triumph. Hot hatches including the Alfa Romeo Giuletta and Ford Focus ST race into the night in Barcelona and stunning cars including the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 Nismo Z Tune, Pagani Huayra, Koenigsegg Agera R and more charge through Chicago.
