Coming Summer 2013. Apparently only the PC version will run at 60FPS (and presumably above). And it seems to support 3 screens natively:

It also seems that the developers will not be including a dashboard view because it's too expensive or whatever and only 5% of players use it anyway (or so they say -- not sure if the "they" is the devs or their apologists), which led to some reaction as seen in the rllmuk thread and presumably elsewhere:

I'll chip in to say that if you are playing on a 3-screen setup with a wheel as seen in the linked video, the lack of dashboard in first-person view is in some respects more immersive than if you saw your hands and the wheel a SECOND time on the screen (the first time is right in front of you). On the other hand, the dials and stuff are missing from your (real-life) wheel setup, so it's a mixed bag from an immersion perspective (which is the only perspective that counts, as everyone should have realized by now). Ultimately, a VR headset solves everything (or almost everything -- and neural jacking solves the rest).

Someone should go to his forum and let him know it's coming out. I am sure he'll be thrilled. You can do that here:

I'd do it myself but I am banned.

Grid 2 is to introduce a system dubbed LiveRoutes that dynamically changes the track - meaning that lap-by-lap the corner layout on a given circuit will change.

The system, which is optional, was shown on the Chicago circuit that's on the show-floor at this weekend's Eurogamer Expo. Over two laps one section changed, a straight being replaced by a left-right switchback on the second tour through.

Codemasters has announced GRID 2, will release in May on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, and also dropped the news that a Special Edition is now available for pre-order.

The Special Edition comes with extra content redeemable digitally, shown in the screenshots below.

Those who pre-order at GAME online or in store can choose the GRID 2: Brands Hatch Edition, which includes two additional packs to expand the game:

McLaren Racing Pack: Receive the exclusive McLaren MP4-12C GT3 Special Edition car to race in single-player, multiplayer and a special online event; plus expand the game with two new routes around the Brands Hatch GP circuit.

Head Start Pack: Receive the exclusive Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 GT car to race in single-player, multiplayer and enjoy discounts in the Car Upgrades Store in online game modes and a unique RaceNet bonus.

GRID 2 launches in the UK on May 31 and in North America on May 28.
