GRIP, the early access title that is the spiritual successor to 1999's Rollcage, has undergone a recent update which sees big improvements to vehicle stability and AI competitiveness and features a brand new track on the planet Norvos.

GRIP Steam Early Access update patch 1011 According to developer Caged Element, vehicles are now more stable than ever with the car now not reacting so harshly to collisions which was one of our complaints from our initial impressions with the game which you can view below.

AI vehicles are now more competitive are will avoid obstacles and collisions more easily and recover from crashes quicker. Even the race cameras have had tweaks which should now convey a greater sense of speed.
