There's no drifting physics this time. It has been confirmed to be identical physics for drift and grip, with low powered cars (sub-500hp) receiving power boosts on drift courses to make them easier to get sideways.
What feature(s) are you most looking forward to in Shift 2?

Ahh even better then, I guess it'll be a bit like GT5 then.

Probably the ability to remove Grind Turismo from my PS3 and get back to actual RACING!
Most excited about savable tunings per track, online matchmaking depending on driving style (clean/dirty, etc.), vastly expanded real track list, no limit to cars owned, tire wear, (hopefully) improved wheel FFB and customization and better elite physics...
Ecstatic there are more Porsche than Skylines...

There are a few things I cant wait to try: Car modification and livery, trying the helmet cam myself, the great track and car selection, the hopefully thrilling races vs the AI but above all I totally cant wait to...
Drive my first night race at SPA! Eau Rouge at Night, WHOA!!!

looking forward to trying the autolog, to finally being able to change the appearance of all the cars I want, to racing at Spa and Bathurst, and hopefully to a challenging AI.
And I can't wait to be driving the E30, the Escort Cosworth, the Golf GTI Mk1, the Lancia Delta, and the 8C Competizione.

I am torn between mastering the tracks and the FIA GT racing. I am a tracks guy so I have to stick with the tracks. You can put any car on any track but it takes a good track to give you that enjoyment you seek.
Put a Zonda R on Daytona. Then put it on the Ring.
Put a Porche on Indy, then put it on Bathhurst. Catch my drift. Same car but more fun on a track worth playing.

There are two major things that I'm looking forward to in Shift 2 unleashed.
1: They did a MAJOR overhaul on the AI. Shift 1's AI is hands down the worst out there IMO. Make a list of everything we console SIM racing fans hate about AI.., and you'll find it in Shift 1. Way too aggressive, rubber-band, sling-shotting, constant illegal blocking moves, they gang up on you, non stop brake checking. Just an absolute mess!
2: Night racing looks freaking AMAZING. Without even taking physics into consideration.., based on the vids.., night racing in Unleashed is going to destroy GT5 in this area. In Unleashed the headlights actually let you see the road!
For me the most annoying issue I had with Shift 1 was the AI. Even if the physics in Shift 2 unleashed are only slightly improved over Shift 1.., if the AI has been fixed.., that's all good with me baby!

TBH, Shift 1's AI was sort of good preparation for online racing... they bashed and crashed their way through the race, and never once apologized..!

Yes, the AI was an accurate simulation of a pack of 12 year olds on a sugar rush. With anger management issues. To a certain extent, there was entertainment to be had trying to make your way through them without getting taken out.
Sort of like juggling rottweilers, it's fun and cool until you get one the wrong way and it rips your arm off.
