This update includes a new car, some new objects, and a variety of physics-related fixes. It's part one of the the two-part patch, which includes the new UI update.

Gameplay & Performance

Added a new car: Drift.
Added a new track: CherryDrifter.
Smoothed fuel and tyre wear calculations to help reduce any disadvantage from using keyboard input.
Separated throttle and brake inputs.
Speed limiter areas are now more aggressively enforced.
Adjusted the handling of the Lightning, to give it a more weighty feel.
Small adjustments to the General and Formula's colliders.
Small adjustments to the wheel behaviour when colliding with the terrain.
FIXED: Particles no longer remain on the terrain when moving to the next track in a Championship.
FIXED: Cones no longer slide down the terrain when restarting a race.
FIXED: AI no longer start slowly when they start off the racing line.
FIXED: Reverse grids now apply in the first race, too.

Track Editor

Added new snowy variants of the Birch tree and Hedge.
Added Cherry Blossom trees (in two colour variants).
FIXED: Bridges no longer cause a bump at the edges.

Known Issues

The main menu sometimes experiences distortions or other rendering issues - changing resolution, or restarting the game may rectify the issue.
Occasionally, when in Windowed mode, changing the language multiple times in quick succession can shrink the game window.

GeneRally 2 is a friendly top-down arcade racing game - with an easy-to-use, built-in track editor. GeneRally 2 is the sequel to the 2002 classic, GeneRally - one of the most played arcade racing games of all time! Have fun racing alone against the AI; with your friends in "no split-screen necessary" couch PvP; or try your hand at creating tracks and sharing them with the world.

GeneRally 2 now in Early Access! If you want to find out more about the Early Access process, please read our developer blog post on the subject!

Experience a wide variety of fun and interesting tracks created by us, by the GeneRally 2 community - or make the perfect track for you in our track editor. With 60+ objects (and more being added all the time); 12 different surface types (from dirt and gravel, to snow and ice); and a feature-packed terrain-editing tool - the only limit is your imagination! Upload your creations to Steam Workshop and share them with the world. You can even import tracks from GeneRally 1 directly into the game!
Race against the clock (and the ghost car) in time-trial; against the AI; or with friends in couch PvP (online multiplayer coming during Early Access). There's no need for split screen - the whole track is visible at once - so grab your friends and family, and get racing! Compete in single races, or see who's victorious over multiple races in championship mode. Up to 8 players can play together on the same computer.
Customise your car and stand out from the crowd - adjust the colours and paint scheme for you and every car in the race.
Detailed car physics take account of many different real-world parameters like drive-train type (FWD/RWD/AWD), suspension travel/rebound, weight distribution and more! The cars are easy-to-learn but hard-to-master, based on a realistic physics simulation.
Plan your pitstops and manage your fuel, tyre wear and damage over the course of the race - or turn all of those off and enjoy unlimited ability to run your friends off the road!
With a variety of different cars (5 at launch, more coming later), each with their own unique performance and handling characteristics, there's never a dull moment.
Tweak the AI opponents for closer racing - choose between multiple driving style "profiles" and adjust their skill level to battle for victory.
