In the growing world of automotive gaming, notable titles such as Gran Turismo, Need for Speed and Forza Motorsports have reigned supreme among racing enthusiasts for years.

In 2008 however, relative newcomer to the market GRID received overall high praise for its first installment and impressive sales numbers after its release. It even took home numerous awards including IGN’s Editors Choice Awards 2008 and Best Racing Game of 2008.

Coming off a successful first title, the developing team at Codemasters jumped on the opportunity to release a second title to the auto gaming world complete with all the sideways, tire-screeching, supercar and muscle car goodness anyone could ever ask for.

From what we can see in the new trailer, cars like the McLaren MP4-12C, Pagani Huayra and Ariel Atom are among of the few that will be featured in the second title, and races will range in tracks from New York to Paris.

So buckle up your non-existent (?) seat belts, GRID 2 will be arriving to the gaming world next year.
