From their FB page:

Update 2 is now complete! Will be out in a week or two..

What's new:

• 3 new game play modes in single player:
+ elimination - destroy all opponents!
+ drift challenge
+ time challenge with ghost
• Highlands theme with 18 new races
• New car with drift-to-charge-nitro
• Much more tracks available in local multiplayer
• Bug fixes and performance improvements

Sounds good, the only thing that is missing is the online multiplayer. And I would like to know what time I need to get 3 stars..

They are only in multiplayer and secret tracks. In multiplayer you can de-activate all or some of them.

It's an arcade, not a simulator

Weapons and new coming "drift-to-charge-nitro" car sounds like Mario Kart.

You are talking about iPad, right?

You was enthusiastic about tilt control, then you changed idea. Well done

Maybe you do not agree with that explanation, right?

yes i don't agree with it, like most of the others I think it's way better to know what time we need to get 3 stars.

it find this pretty much like rc-racing... you have to practice and be consistent, but your effort is rewarded (times are getting better and better)

Of coarse but there is not enough of the game to start with.

Just a quick suggestion to the devs. It would be great if the three start objectives were better defines before starting a race. It sucks to finish a race looking for three stars, and then be told I needed to use a different car. Also, I feel it is too tough to get three stars on some levels even with a fully upgraded car (white car, first level pack). I think this couls use some tweaking for a completionist like me, where either the cars are mid just a bit faster, or you can use any car to three star a level. Great game and looking forward to some updates.

Loving the new racing types in the single player campaign. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite top-down racers.

I know not everyone likes power-ups, but it would be cool to be able to turn them on in single player as well....for added re-playability.

Oh, and I do agree that it would be nice if we were told what times are required to get three-stars on all levels.

[Superwese]

I don't think it is a good idea to know the 3 star times in advance.
It's part of the rules. Just as that you have to use a certain car.
And I do like the idea that the 3 star times are not fixed.

I don't like these elimination races and the powerups. They should focus on racing.

New drift-to-charge-nitro car is avaiable in single player (so you have atleast nitro), and all power-ups are present in "Secret" tracks.

I see another problem: Game Center score. I have 2 questions:
1. Have GC scores same rules as 3 stars? In example, is Tropical score valid only if I use 1st car?
2. I ran with the "wrong" car in several Tropical tracks. Now the partial and totals times are compared with those obtained with that wrong car, so I do not know if I'm getting better or worse time with the right car.

I agree with @injuwarrior: objectives were better defines before starting a race. Even if you do not want to show time to get 3 stars (I may agree), atleast tell which car to use to get 3 stars and valid Game Center score. What do you think about?

I'm very disappointed for multiplayer because:
1. There is still not online;
2. Often is out of sync (blutooth mode) so cars do not start together, very close cars catch the same power-up, mines often are hidden and so on;
3. New drift-to-charge-nitro car does NOT have nitro at all;
4. Audio goes on and off;
5. Sometimes it crashes.

Some bugs not multiplayer related:
1. In race 3-18 a car exploded even it's not a destrucion race;
2. 1-8 and 1-17 races have a graphical bug (see below image) on a iPhone 4 iOS 6 no JB. Same races have no bug on an iPhone 4S iOS 5.1.1 no JB. Aside that, what does it mean that new colour for both of tracks?

Update 3 is out, 18 brand new amazing snow races. They fixed reported bugs too
