Challenging and comprehensive

Just like Cities:Skylines seemed to be closer to a next-generation version of SimCity 4 was than Sim City 5, so does Grid Autosport seem to be the heir to the throne that was last occupied by DiRT: Showdown (D:S).

It is a great half-way point between super in-depth racers from the PS2-era of GT2 and GT3 and the arcadey racers. It has depth in what it refines.

Does it let you race bajillions of vehicles? No, just from playing the "street" vein of the game I can tell that only a small handful (under 10) are available. But because each of those dozen or so vehicles vary so much in their physics, each vein yields new challenges to personal skills that might've plateaued if just left to rot in one specific type.

But it does add some great advancements: "rivals" which seem like the next non-team guy in points above or below you is one of them. Another is the flashback where you get -- by default -- five times during one race to rewind the action so that spin-out or incorrect judgement of the entry speed on a corner doesn't happen.

Yup, car collection is still there but not a focus.

Well, it's exciting and in higher difficulty your opponents provide enough challenges. But it feels even more tilted to arcade side comparing to grid 1. Some times you can turn 90 degree sharp in a speed which will almost certain to cause slide. And when you slide, you can gain your control back without much trouble.

Graphics are still decent by today's standards, but sky is static and a little distracting.

My favourite racing game ever. Love the multiplayer section. Ok with the career.
It's a pity codemasters abandoned this title (no support at all - zero, nothing, niente)
But overall experience is fantastic.... DLC's are amazing and I will be still playing in 2017!

Linux doesn't have many sim racing games, and this one is the best that you can find.

Solid 60fps running on Debian with GTX 1070 lack of technical issues... except for the infamous corrupted save (disable cloud sync to fix it).

Pros

* The best sim racing game on Linux,
* Good driving, good handling,
* Big choice of cars and tracks,
* Decent damage system
* Decent tire wearing system

Cons

* Mirrors don't work (fixable with a mod)
* Savegames are getting corrupted (fixable by disabling cloud sync)
* Driving still a bit arcade,
* Menu interface is in console-style

One of the few realistic racing games compatible with Linux, GRID Autosport is a decent racing game. The AI is quite intense even on 'easy' difficulty, but the challenges are rewarding and the controls are quite responsive and intuitive. The small selection of maps can get somewhat repetitive however, but the online races make up for this.

7/10

besides your top of the line simulater games like iraceing and forza and project cars, grid auto sport is up there with the best for sure. i have spent alot of time on this game on my xbox 360 and now i am playing on the pc and i still love it. the sound of the engines and tyres in this game are awsome and the pyshics and looks of the cars are awsome. havent found another game that has the aussie v8 utes in them and they sound amazing. great choice of cars to. definalty love playing this game.. the only downside is im useing the logitec g920 and the responce is a lil sloppy. when you turn the wheel like 5 to 10 degress to the left or right the car wont turn untill you go past that. so in other words the first lil turn left or right isnt responsive, but once u go past that its fine and works well. and that also is with all the settings turned up. other downside is there is no calibration setting to calibrate your wheel if that setting was in the game it would fix this problem. other than that 10/10 for me on this game.

Its cool. The handling is pretty nice, the tracks are pretty nice ( while it misses some important like Laguna Seca) and overall it has very much variety in it races. While it has some things i dont like
1. The Medium AIs are to easy while the Hard AIs are a bit too hard.
2. You cant customize your cars in the career, you can tune the stiffness and stuff but you cant make your own liverys or changes wheels and stuff.
3. Its getting pretty boring after you beaten the second GRID series ( there are 3 GRID series in the game)

**grew up with need for speed**

good game

more fun with race wheel

dope music

I like it because it has a lot of races.
I don't like it because I have to do a lot of races with one type or car and can't move on to the faster cars.

9/10

By far the best value in PC Arcade racers today. While games like Assetto Corsa and Project Cars concentrate on realizm and driving simulator game play, Grid Autosport balances nicely between Arcade and Sim racers. Course designs are easily familiar to the real world courses and course diversity is average. Custom Skins and the abilty to make groups is great but the online multiplayer sessions can be a bit confusing at times when you are trying to meet up with a buddy due in part to the cumbersome RaceNet interface which differs from regular online play. The stoyline, while lengthy and appears to be full of diverse content, ultimately forces a driver to be all things to all forms of racing, which si not something that actually happens in the racing world. Graphics are 9/10, Audio is 9/10, Controls support 9/10 and content 8/10 (just because I am not into all the tuner and drift stuff). Overall I rate the game 85-90 out of 100 in total game ranking & is worth the on sale price.

best ride

Great game, really fun to play (I'm using G27 with manual transmission + clutch), interesting career mode, and really amazing sound design :D

The equivalent of Dota 2 with CARS instead of Heroes !!
a CSGO with out-brake instead of head-shot !!
