Can you feel the excitement in the air? Is the smell of burning rubber filling your nostrils and the hum of a revving motor in your ears? Today is filled with the excitement and anticipation of a race day and that is because Codemasters have taken their foot off the break and Grid 2 has shot out of pole position and into stores everywhere.

I think that just about exhausts the amount of racing puns I can make, but the latest racing simulator from the people who brought us Race Driver: GRID, Dirt and Dirt Showdown is upon us, complete with an approximately 30-hour campaign, dynamically changing racetracks and an insane amount of multiplayer race options. Alongside the game’s release comes the official launch of RaceNet, the online hub for Grid 2 players all across the globe.

RaceNet keeps track of your stats (including how clean or dirty a driver you are) and assigns you objectives, goals and even online rivals accordingly. The service also allows you to upload clips directly to YouTube – so if you are in a wicked accident, simply hit a button and soon the world is watching you total a million dollar racing machine. RaceNet is definitely the engine that will keep Grid 2 running on all cylinders for many years to come (Ok that was one more pun than I intended, sorry guys). By clicking here you can sign yourself up for free, even if you don’t own the game yet.
