GRIP is back to normal, but we've also got a look at the upcoming racetrack: Jekna 841
Set on an icy asteroid outside of Norvos, it's got some interesting features that haven't been played before in GRIP.
No ETA yet but we're working on it! Also upcoming is a new Vintek car in the speedster class. It's gonna be sweeeet.
Oh, and we've got a bit of a surprise incoming, too. But we can't say anything yet ;)

We've injected some holiday cheer chaos into GRIP with a "new" arena map, festivized track objects and other surprises. Be sure to give this update a shot, even if it's just for the lolz.
Full changelist here:
Added "Festive" arena map under Norvos
Added snowfall and a bunch of Christmas decorations to FIC Outpost
Modified the Assassin missile to be more, um, cheery
Converted pickups to presents
Converted various track assets to be horribly festive
Added option for reducing and disabling radial motion blur
Boost now can't be triggered unless the bar is 20% full, to prevent exploit.
This update is our equivalent of an ugly Christmas sweater, essentially.
Enjoy!
New MP + Balancing Update
We're getting ready for the GRIP Trans-world Championship!
GTC 3 is starting today! See this tweet for details: https://twitter.com/GRIPVideoGame/status/1194642132767838210
We've updated the game with the following changes: - Starting grid now randomized in multiplayer - Destructible vehicle respawn time cut to 5 seconds from 10 (for both races and deathmatch) - Ramraider charged and uncharged versions now swapped. Community feedback was that the AOE push version was OP. Now the slowdown during charging will help keep it balanced. - Bot names in lobbies now stay consistent
These changes should make races tighter and more balanced and help prevent leaders from creating a large gap in the grid.

New Racetrack, Carkour Map and 2 New Songs!
Take The Plunge! (sorry)
We've got a new racetrack based on Liddo 5 called "The Plunge". It's a mix of terrain and tunnels, spiced up with a few things that are new to a GRIP track.
You can see a missile cam fly-through of the track here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B4fJTHCA7ma/ https://imgur.com/gallery/lc6Scqa
Also in this update is a Carkour version of the arena level "Park Date"
A special inclusion in this update are two new music tracks from GRIP community member and YouTuber "Shivaxi". The two dnb tracks are Black Sun and Dirty Innuendo. Sick tunes! Have a look and listen at his stuff below:
• Added the new track ‘The Plunge’. • Added the new Carkour level 'Park Date'. • Added two new songs by community member Shivaxi! • Crash fix for final duel in campaign. • General bug fixes for arena 'View To A Kill'. • Fixed lobby bug for hitting ready before all players joined. • Fixed lobby bug to do with voting. • Improved accuracy of Assassin missile hitting lead car • Experimented with Assassin missile navigation to make sure they make it around tracks (WIP) • General Bug Fixes and Optimisation.

The DeLorean 2650 has arrived!
DeLorean Motor Company, one of the most iconic car manufacturers in the galaxy, has injected its flagship vehicle into GRIP: Combat Racing. Armed, armoured, flip-able and jet fuel-injected, it's the most souped-up DeLorean you will ever see – and pilot.
It comes in two flavours: slick anti-grav AirBlade and gritty four-wheeled Roller. Check out the trailer below to see how the iconic ‘gull-wing’ doored sports car has been transformed for its debut on GRIP’s deadly tracks:
Y'all like free cars? Play with the new MG ZS X now
We've just dropped an update with a FREE new car of the MG brand called the ZS X. This car marks our first partnership with a real-world car manufacturer. Pretty cool!
Now when you jump in the garage it will be unlocked for everyone, as there's no player level requirement. ;)
NEXT BIG UPDATE will have two new levels, one racetrack set on Liddo 5 and an arena map set in Orbital Prime.

NEW Racetrack "Frigid Ridges" released!
We've just dropped a patch with a new racetrack set on Norvos called Frigid Ridges. It's an icy, twisted and crazy course that has plenty of racing lines to explore.
Also, be sure to screw on some of the new tires getting unlocked between level 41-50, as we've raised the cap. These tires are all quite unique looking, different from any others in the game.
Some other notes about this update:
Missile deployment and navigation has been improved
Pickups now have a timeout of 1 minute, to avoid exploitation
Various tracks have gotten flow and collision fixes
Cinematic cams have been added to and improved
Bug fixes to some particle effects
Various minor fixes and improvements in general
This patch may appear small, but there was plenty of work done aside from what you see. Y'all can expect more free tracks, a free car and another DLC in the next few months ;)
