Those who wanted to veto an event type or location found in the past it was difficult to get a passing vote after the patch, vetos will be fairer and only require 51% of the lobby. New liveries are coming with more designs, including some of the single-player AI designs and the firm has increased maximum laps from 5 up to 10. Those who have hit level 30 online will be able to progress to level 99 once the patch is live, and fastest lap times will now display at the end of an event on the race results screen. Hardcore Playlist will remove the use of flashbacks and turns on full mechanical damage and it will also prioritize race events around circuits. Players will no longer be penalized for opting out of the Online Playlists. In the patch, a custom playlist will be made available and it will increase the amount of experience and money players receive for participation. Two game updates driven by player feedback are coming soon: one is an extensive Community Patch slated for August the other the aforementioned return of the Demo Derby for free.
Full announcement in wall of text form is below. Codemasters announced the return of the Demo Derby to GRID 2 today along with a substantial patch.
