Codemasters has this very second announced that GRID 2 will be speeding towards release this May, with a special edition of the game available in the UK exclusively at GAME.

It's called the GRID 2: Brands Hatch Edition, and includes two additional packs to expand your GRID 2 racing experience. They are as follows:

• 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 will be heading to the UK and Europe on May 31st, 2013. Presumably, the North American release won't be all that dissimilar. [Update] It is in fact May 28th in North America. Oh, and we're creating the achievement list for the game! Perhaps we've already mentioned that somewhere... Take a look at the Brands Hatch Edition content in the images below.
