  • Free camera - The mouse camera from the first game is back, rebuilt from scratch: move the mouse to look around your car, no button needed. Double-tap Alt or turn it on in Settings

  • Shifting in automatic - The shift buttons now work in automatic too: pick your gear for a corner and the gearbox takes over again a few seconds later

Online
  • Tandem bonus - Drift side by side with another player and your multiplier climbs every two seconds

  • Faces on the minimap - Other players show up as their Steam avatar with an arrow. Friends get a ring, and anyone out of range sits on the edge pointing the way

  • Steam profiles - Open any player's Steam profile from the Players page: click their face, right-click their row or press Y

World
  • Breakable signs - Road signs, chevrons and roadside posts fall over when you hit them, and everyone in the lobby sees it

Interface
  • Big minimap - Press Z for a large flat minimap that shows 2.5 times as far, and keep driving while you look

  • Drift payouts - A linked combo now pays out as one big sum when the multiplier runs out, not in pieces

  • Camera distance - The mouse wheel moves the chase camera closer or further away. Field of view stays in Settings

Interface
  • Minimap at night - The minimap follows the time of day: darker at night, with the roads standing out

  • Players page - Every driver has their Steam avatar next to their name

Sound
  • Music - The music no longer cuts in and out when you drift at low speed
