There were different weather conditions, driving aids and customization options.
Reception
Derek C. Tillotson of Gamezebo gave the game 4 out of 5 stars and stated, "Despite its lack of price tag, this one is well worth a shot for those open to a new racing experience, this one is well worth a shot. It has all the elements and polish that those titles do. Not original, but still fun." Jon Mundy of Pocket Gamer gave the game 4 out of 5 stars and stated, "GT Racing 2 is a slightly less dazzling with a marginally less obnoxious IAP system. It's a very good racing game, and a great showcase for newer Apple hardware."
