This is an unofficial "patch" for Shift 2 Unleashed developed by the nogripracing.com modding community.
The official NoGripRacing discussion thread used to live here: http://www.nogripracing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=287425 , but nogrip.com is now sadly defunct.
Thanks to the efforts of archive.org, the OP and the FAQ can still be accessed read-only here:

- To combine bug fixes and enhancements while preserving the driving feel of stock S2U. There are no deliberate physics changes included, but car handling is improved in some cases as a result of bug fixing. There are also some enhancements included that would have been nice to see in an official patch.
- To maintain a S2U baseline that will make it easier and more convenient to create and distribute mods for S2U w/UCP installed.
- People who enjoy driving the game out of the box, but were bothered by the bugs
- S2U modders, who can use the UCP as a clean base upon which their future mods can be developed.
- Fixed reversed suspension link positions in aarm_multilink.sdf
- Fixed reversed toe values bug (flipped positive and negative values so that they now correctly match the tuning menu)
- Fixed sounds for Nissan 2000GTR and Nissan 240ZG engine swap
- Fixed Mazda RX8 and Porsche 914 engine descriptions
- Fixed bug in Bugatti Veyron rear-left "SlowBump" range
- Corrected power of Mazda RX7 FC rotary (stock and turbo upgrades)
- Fixed uneven ReboundTravel on many cars
- Fixed diffuser base value typos on various cars
- Fixed uneven left/right tuning on various cars
- Fixed front & rear wing range for Audi R8 LMS
- Fixed camber values on various cars
- Corrected fuel tank locations (some were up to 2m behind car)
- Fixed missing DiffPumpSetting values (from "DiffPumpSetting= " to "DiffPumpSetting=0" which was found to produce more consistent AI behaviour in Overhaul mod for Shift 1)
- Fixed a bug that prevented proper upgrade of Mercedes 190e Evo2
- Reduced the magnetized effect of collisions with walls/rails and other vehicles
- Fixed reversed mirrors in several cars
- Fixed syntax errors in tracks.lod files
- Fixed tuning level issue introduced by unpacking
- Fixed Nissan GT-R Engine-Swap 'Phantom Turbo' problem
- Fixed brake heating issue on Mazda RX-7 FC Speedhunters
- Fixed Lamborghini Murcielago vents so that they pop up at the correct temperature
- Fixed wheel offsets and sizes on a range of cars (wheelfixit v2.1)
- Revised installation method with a selection of unpacked game files for ease of modding and explicit compatibility with the Career Mod and the unpacked version of the Polish Tyre Mod for S2U.
- Support for dropping custom liveries (*.dds files) directly into the \vehicles\textures\ folder
- Includes optional unpacked UCP-compatible repacks of requested mods:
- XBox 360 Controller buttons by Kaerar
- DFGT & PS3 Controller buttons by vincentgarcia
- Unlock Hidden Car mods by Jeroen vd Helm
- Minimod dinput8.dll by Juls
- Removed intro movies for a faster game startup
- Enabled ability to skip career movies
- Increase garage spaces to 800
- Speedhunters DLC cars can now be sold back to car lot (for $0)
- Disabled reverse driving penalty to double available tracks in hot lap mode
- Increase maximum career level to 40 (1 million XP): Unlocks the arrow vinyls at lvl 35 and speedhunter vinyls at lvl 40. (reputation_level.xml)
- Change how reward cars are handled; all cars except rival cars are now
available for purchase in the car lot, the rationale being that rival cars
are unique (unlockableitems.xml, reputation_unlockables.xml):
- Nissan Silvia
- Alfa Romeo Giulietta
- Lamborghini Murcielago
- Pagani Roadster HP
- Lamborghini Reventon HP Cop Edition
- Alfa Romeo 8c Spider
- Aston Martin DBS Volante
- Audi R8 Spyder
- Koenigsegg Agera
- Pagani Cinque Roadster
- Chevy Camaro Dr. Pepper
- Porsche Autobild GT3
- Created standard adjustment units for the following tuning options (set all
base values to 0 while keeping original preset values, this way you know what
you're actually setting for these items):
- Tyre pressure now displays the actual kPa value (previously we saw only a condensed kPa range, which varied between different cars, making tuning confusing)
- Steering lock now displays your actual steering lock in degrees (allowing easier comparison between cars)
- Differential Power/Coast/Preload
- Established a common base camber tuning range (-5 to +5 degrees) and adjustment value (0.1)
- Increased caster range from 0-7.3 to 0-10 degrees (higher values provide better ffb and more direct handling)
- Unlocked more default tuning options for lower tier cars
- Tweaked tyre sounds to be more prominent
- Tweak upgrade gear ratios for some cars (Moorsman74) and tweak stock gear ratios for others (transfixit v1).
- Tweak speedometer movement for cars with non-fixed speed 'ticks' (speedofixit v2)
