Grid Autosport (stylized as GRID Autosport) is a racing video game developed by Codemasters and available for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Linux, iOS and macOS. It is the ninth game in the TOCA series. It aims to move the series back towards 'more authentic racing games' following the release of Grid 2, which Codemasters felt was not as well-received by the company's core fanbase as it was hoped for.^[1] The developers consequently introduced major modifications to the handling model and built a lean, race-first oriented design for this title.^[4]

Many critics who praised the game cited how Codemasters seemed to have 'gone back to its roots', with aspects from its early games in the series.^[5][6]

Feral Interactive, who brought the game to macOS and Linux,^[7] also brought the game to iOS on 27 November 2017.^[8] The Android version and the Nintendo Switch version, also from Feral, are due for release in 2019.^[9][10] On June 26, 2018, Grid Autosport was released on Xbox One as a backward compatibility version.^[11]

A succeeding instalment, simply known as Grid, was announced to be released on 11 October 2019 for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.^[12]

Gameplay[edit]

In Grid Autosport, the player acts as a racing driver with opportunities to start and build their own racing career via the single-player Career mode, enter competitions with fellow players on the web via the multiplayer Online mode, customise their racing experience (vehicle, circuit, race type, difficulty, etc.) to their own tastes via the single-player Custom Cup mode, and play against each other via the multiplayer Splitscreen mode.^[13] It is the first video game in GRID series not to feature Vehicle Customization this time in single player career as only featured in online mode.

The Career mode is divided into seasons before which the player each time has to choose between offers from the game's racing teams. The teams – including the best-in-the-business Ravenwest, making a return from Race Driver: Grid – each have different season objectives and sponsor objectives, the achievement of which earns extra experience points (XP) for the players besides those received for their results.^[14] Online racing is conducted via RaceNet, Codemasters' own community hub, on which players can form racing clubs, earn XP and cash as they race and fulfill sponsor objectives, then use their earnings to purchase and upgrade vehicles. Soon after the game's release, they were also presented with sets of specific challenges, called RaceNet Challenges, announced by Codemasters.^[15]

Grid Autosport emphasises the concept of racing disciplines, making them into the new event categories. There are five main categories: Touring, Endurance, Open Wheel, Tuner, and Street. During Career mode, the player picks a particular event in one of these categories, with each event (a string of races) making up a season.^[13] Each discipline features markedly different cars and race types. The latter include standard Races, Endurance races with tire wear enabled, Time Attack events, Drift events, and - as downloadable content (DLC) - Time Trials, Drag and point-to-point Sprint races. These are all accessible in Custom Cup mode as well, in which the player can also choose to participate in certain special event types, such as Checkpoint, Eliminator and Demolition Derby.^[16]

Focusing on providing a more realistic driving experience, the studio revamped its damage model, adding new elements, such as a wear and tear system, which means car parts lose performance through general use, and a suspension damage system. It also introduced a new team radio philosophy in which the player itself can request information on car damage, gaps, rival position and teammate position.^[17] The player can also ask its engineer to instruct their teammates to attack, defend or hold their position.^[1] By popular demand, Codemasters retained its unique Flashback feature from previous Grid installments with which the players can rewind their races a few seconds and resume it earlier, if needed.^[18] Cockpit view also made a return,^[1] after being absent, very much to the dismay of the core fanbase,^[19] in Grid 2. Aside from such elements, the developers generally decided to strip the game down and do away with everything that stood in the way of raw racing. These features included Grid 2’s narrator-driven career mode and superfluous menus.^[20]

Cars[edit]

The cars in the disciplines of Grid Autosport are further divided into tiers and classes of various strength. Some of the highlights of the vehicles on offer are the contemporary BTCC (Class C), Stock Car Brasil (Class A) and V8 Supercars (Super Tourers) of the Touring discipline (e. g. Chevrolet Cruze, Honda Civic, Holden VF Commodore), the present-day and classic GT cars of the Endurance discipline (like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 (Category B) and the Ford GT40 Mk I), the Dallara DW12 chassis of the IndyCar Series (Formula A) from the Open Wheel discipline, American muscle cars (e. g. the Ford Mustang Boss 302), among others, representing the Tuner discipline and the likes of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport and the Koenigsegg Agera R (Hypercars) representing the Street discipline.^[21] In total, including DLCs, the game features 103 cars. This is the second video game under Grid series not to feature Toyota cars and First in series to not to feature Chevrolet Corvette.

Tracks[edit]

In the case of the tracks, the main emphasis is on real-world permanent circuits which make up the majority of the courses in the game. These range from classics, such as Spa-Francorchamps, Brands Hatch, Mount Panorama and Indianapolis, to more modern facilities, like the Circuit of the Americas, Sepang, the Red Bull Ring and the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. City locations with fictionally lined, but mostly real-world streets of San Francisco, Paris, Dubai etc., and - as DLCs - fictional point-to-point tracks in authentic settings complete the picture.^[22][23] In all, players are able to race on 15 real-world permanent circuits, 2 fictional permanent circuits, 7 street circuits, and 4 point-to-point tracks, including additional content, for a total of 28 locations with over 130 configurations.

Development[edit]

Grid Autosport was announced on 22 April 2014 via the official Codemasters Blog, less than a year after the release of its predecessor, Grid 2.^[1] Producer Toby Evan-Jones revealed in an interview that the development of the new title began as soon as the development of Grid 2 came close to a finish. This occurred in the spring of 2013. Evan-Jones had this to say on the short development cycle between the two games and the general intentions with Grid Autosport:^[24]

Historically we've kind of alternated between [the Dirt and the Grid series, but] when we put [Grid 2] out we stood back and took stock and there was a lot of stuff the dev team wanted to have in there in terms of optimisation, new features and generally improving things. At the same time there was a fair amount of feedback from the fans with regards to what they wanted, so additional touring car content, the return of cockpit cam and more of a nudge back to simulation rather than arcade. We though [sic] (…) we'd keep it rolling.

The game eliminated the so-called TrueFeel handling of Grid 2, but it did not simply return to the handling of Race Driver: Grid. Codemasters used a new, improved version of its previous model, better simulating how grip falls away, when the player approaches the slip angle of the tyres. Decision to use the new model, which was tested by Autosport magazine experts and racing drivers, was made on 23 January 2014, which was followed by applying it to each car’s grip falloff graph and re-tuning the vehicles' individual handling characteristics. According to the company, the shift caused the most difficulties in modeling the behaviour of open wheelers and American muscle cars. It also necessitated re-doing the AI benchmarking work, which was well-underway by then using the old model. The game was built using Codemasters’ in-house EGO 3.0 engine.^[25]

Graphically, Grid Autosport benefitted heavily from optimisation and fine-tuning of said long-standing engine to achieve better performance on low-end machines, while on the other end, support for DirectX 11 features enabled the programmers to improve renderings, especially grass and light, from Grid 2.^[26] On 4 March 2015, Feral Interactive announced that it would port the game to OS X and Linux.^[27] The online multiplayer system was also among the areas that Codemasters decided to overhaul compared to Grid 2, based on fan feedback. The framework of earning XP and cash to purchase own vehicles and garage slots was a result of community criticism towards the previous framework in which the player had a ladder, laid out in advance by the game, to unlock cars. Feedback deemed the old approach too easy to complete. As for the extremely tight development schedule, involving less than twelve months, lead designer James Nicholls said:^[20]

Many developers will tell you that the toughest bit of making any game is that initial phase – getting the technology and the tools to the point where a whole team are really moving through the gears and producing at full speed. (…) GRID Autosport already had the team and the technology ready to go.

Release[edit]

Grid Autosport comes in two versions – a standard edition and a special edition, the latter of which is called the Black Edition. It was announced on 8 May 2014 and it includes an extra vehicle (a Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Coupé Black Series), extra sponsors and extra liveries for both offline and online modes.^[28] Pre-orders for Grid Autosport by retailers began as soon as the initial game announcement was made. Steam pre-orders went online a week later than planned, on 30 May 2014, however, all of those who pre-ordered the title via Steam received the Black Edition at no extra cost compared to the standard edition. Those who owned Grid 2 received a 10% discount and a free copy of Dirt Showdown as well.^[29][30]Grid Autosport was officially released on 24 June 2014 in North America and 27 June 2014 in Europe across all three current-gen platforms, PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.^[1] The OS X and Linux port was released on 10 December 2015 by Feral Interactive.^[2] Lead designer James Nicholls confirmed as early as the initial game announcement that the game would not make it onto next-gen platforms given the tight timeframes the team worked with during the development process.^[20] However, The Xbox 360 version became backwards compatible with the Xbox One in June 2018, four years after their game’s release.^[31]

Updates & downloadable content[edit]

The game received downloadable content packs until November 2014,^[32] usually once in every two weeks. The majority of these can be broken down into two main categories: mini expansions and car packs. Codemasters put out three mini expansions for this Grid title. Perhaps the most eagerly anticipated one of these was the Touring Legends Pack as it featured two new real-world circuits – Donington Park and Silverstone –, five classic BTCC touring cars from the mid-1990s and new single player championships (outside Career mode).^[33] Another mini expansion, called Sprint Pack, introduced the Sprint race type to the game, besides featuring four fictional point-to-point tracks and more extra championships.^[34] The third one, the Drag Pack, introduced the Drag race type, three drag cars and nine single player championships.^[35]

Car packs, of which there were three as well, included the Best of British Pack, which contained three British-originated vehicles, e. g. the McLaren F1 GTR,^[36] the Coupé Style Pack, that offered four new coupés, such as the Hyundai Genesis Coupé,^[37] and a Road & Track Pack, which added two road-going cars and two racing cars to the game.^[38] There has been a number of additional DLC available to the game. For example, a Season Pass was created with which the player practically subscribed to the above six packs at a discount rate. A High Res Texture Pack boosted game textures up to 4K resolution and was made available to download with the base game at the launch for free.^[39] A Premium Garage Pack was also released, adding five additional garage spots for online play, and the Black Edition content was later sold as a standalone DLC pack as well.^[37] Additionally, a free Demoman Derby DLC was released on 7 November 2014, exclusively on PC, which includes two skins from Team Fortress 2, and consisting a different environment and billboards which are also based on Team Fortress 2.

On 15 July 2014, the studio released Boost Pack, a small piece of code to boost career and online XP progression, for the same price as the car packs.^[40] Controversy followed as Codemasters Community Manager Ben Walke commented the reason behind the already criticised move was simply that 'it sells.'^[41] Continued patch support of the game saw the developer team repeatedly addressing various emerging save game corruption issues, online playlist issues, etc. They enabled the Time Trial race type (which was missing from the base game due to prolonged technical difficulties),^[39] added Oculus Rift support and a virtual rear-view mirror (although, in the case of the latter, only for PC).^[42]

Reception[edit]

The game received generally positive reviews. Metacritic gave it an aggregate score of 78/100 for PC and 75/100 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.^[43][44][45] Critics especially praised its more authentic handling model as well as its stripped-down approach to racing and excellent damage system.

The Career mode gained widespread approval for being 'simply about winning races and mastering various driving styles' with the ability to switch between disciplines letting the player 'go as focused or as broad as [he or she] likes.'^[50]GamesRadar+ felt that having a nominated opponent provided 'a decent sense of rivalry (…) which gives races more meaning (…) and the experience is richer for having clear rivals to beat.'^[49]Eurogamer called Online mode 'a comprehensive suite', one which 'a series of [car] mods and upgrades lends persistence' to.^[47]Game Informer said that it 'offers slightly more freedom [than the Career mode]' and its feature set is 'varied.'^[48] The online playing experience was considered 'smooth, with no drop outs or lag experienced.'^[16]

In terms of handling, the reviewers emphasised that the game 'still straddles the line between simulation and arcade,' but it 'definitely leans a little further on the side of realism [than most Codemasters games]' and 'it’s a significant improvement on Grid 2’s awkward dynamics.'^[6][47][50]Edge noted that it 'offers considerable depth' and its 'lively feedback makes for an intense, and satisfying, drive.' Despite that, it is 'still approachable' and Luke Reilly from IGN found the model to be 'fairly forgiving.'^[5][6]

The game’s artificial intelligence (AI) behaviour was said to be a success, at least in part. The computer-controlled opponents’ 'defensive driving lines, late-braking overshoots into hairpins, and fiendishly clever cut-backs' can make 'a normally disappointing 8th place finish (…) just as rewarding as a win.'^[49] As for their speed, it is heavily dependent on difficulty levels, of which the lowest allows the player to 'thread through 16 positions over the course of three laps with little resistance', while on the hardest 'you can spend a whole race exchanging 13th and 14th positions with another car.'^[5]

PC Advisor praised the 'immense' variety of cars present in the game as well as the inclusion of 'plenty of classics'.^[53]Kotaku added that the 'more experienced players will appreciate the subtle differences between their fleet.' The title’s damage model was critically acclaimed as the above review highlighted that 'each car [is] responding accurately to collisions' with the crashes having 'a massive effect on performance.'^[16]Edge deemed the system a 'triumph.'^[5] The introduction of tyre wear (in Endurance events) was also welcomed – GamesRadar+ wrote that 'it becomes so integral to the driving process, you’ll find yourself looking for the [tyre life] percentage indicators in other modes every time you hear the wheels slip.'^[49]Grid Autosport has a 'generous selection of tracks', in which 'real-world circuits are the focus' at the expense of 'unforgiving (…) and tight' street circuits.^[6][47][53]

The general graphical qualities of the game were lauded as 'magnificent' and 'lovely' with 'incidental details [on the race track that] make for an engaging race-day atmosphere' being particularly impressing.^[16][47][49] As for the game interface, Edge hailed its 'pared-down design (…) with simple, clean (and fast loading) menus.'^[5] Similarly to graphics, the most positive aspects of sounds were the details; the 'nice ambient effects' and the 'small touches such as being able to hear the commentators over the track' that make the experience 'more immersive.'^[6][53]GamesRadar+ found the new system of being able to request information on the pit channel useful, claiming 'you can rely on aural feedback (…) for maximum authenticity.'^[49]

By far the most heavily criticised feature of the game was, ironically, the returning cockpit view. It is, while 'incredibly welcome from a gameplay standpoint, (…) visually they're a slapped-on eyesore, blurred-out in an attempt to hide the lack of detail.'^[50] IGN remarked that they 'lack any working dials or mirrors.'^[6]

Several reviews mention that they found the AI to be, depending on discipline, too aggressive, so much so that 'having an AI take you out at least once a race is (…) to be expected.'^[52][53]Edge elaborated that 'they don’t always concede in the same way a human driver might, sticking to their chosen route even though you legitimately out-braked them into a corner.'^[5] Leaving out pit stops also left some of the critics puzzled. IGN said 'it’s a bizarre omission (…) that quietly undermines a lot of what Autosport does right', pointing out that suffering a puncture leaves the player with no option to repair the damage.^[6]

Eurogamer warned that the content-wise excellent Career mode can feel 'long and drawn-out' and that 'progress in GRID Autosport is slow.'^[47]GameTrailers added that 'the whole experience feels rather clinical.'^[50] The reception of the request-based team radio was also mixed with GamesRadar+ arguing that 'the pit audio repeats itself far too quickly and doesn’t always make perfect sense.'^[49] Finally, a number of reviewers noted that a lot of cars and tracks are re-used material from earlier Codemasters titles, which feels 'stale'.^[16][50][51]

Comments

• Did all the people complaining about the cockpit view actually play this on their Rift?

  
  Of course...but being in the Rift is about immersion so no dashboard, blurred/black cockpit and a bad wheel rotation just about destroys any immersion.
  AC is much better
  Race Room Racing Experience is much better
  LFS is much better
  
• Jury is still out on AC, no one knows how good the Rift implementation is as yet, the first iteration wasn't great.
  For me, being direct mode never gives me motion sickness or leaves me feeling queezy. Although LFS was a very good rift implementation overall, I had motion sickness with it, which I didn't have with Grid Autosport. I haven't tried race room racing experience, I don't think this has been implemented in direct mode but I may be wrong. Codemasters got Grid Autosport to work 'out of the box' without any fanfare or iterations.
  As a side note Codemasters needs to bring out Dirt 3 because they managed to get Direct mode to support in a game that was not originally made in VR, before several Unity VR ready games got it to work. Just imagine Dirt 3

• guys,
  how I have to set Oculus ?
  I modified config file and stopper oculus service but the game starts normally and not into DK2..
  can someone kindly support me ?
  many thanks.

  
  I only be able to start game with Oculus in Direct mode but just a bit before the track loading the game crashes.
  I have an Nvidia GTX690 with 344.11 drivers with an I7 2600.
  Help !

  Direct HMD is easier to use (see menus on mainscreen), but performance ist unplayable. In Extended Desktop mode i need to drag around the window (Shift - Winkey - Arrow left/right)
  Alt-enter for Fullscreen. Sometimes i get half the frames, than set graphic to medium and back to high. On my machine (GTX 970) i can play at High in Extended Desktop and only Very Low in Direct HMD for steady 75fps.

  Thx for feedback iankemp. If I set Oculus is extended mode I see the game on my monitor but black screen on DK2 !!
• DK2 behaves just like a second screen in Extended Desktop mode. Set it in windows-settings to 'Landscape (Flipped)'. You can pull the game window into it or use the shortcuts. Alt-Enter to switch Fullscreen / Window.
• I have a GTX970 and run on High settings with just shadows turned off and it runs smooth as hell in extended mode rift set as main display.
  I have no judder at all and the games real good fun. I use open broadcaster to preview to my monitor to navigate the menus it works a treat.
• For anyone who hasn't got the game already. Go to Instant Gaming and buy the steam key for £9.55 and add game in your steam account. Bargain Price.
• help I get this <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
  <hardware_settings_config version='20' deviceId='0x1187'>
  <cpu> then put in the oculus line then run game and it all fxxks off.
• has it got to be a legit game for the patch to work.

• has it got to be a legit game for the patch to work.

  
  I hope so :roll:
• Yeah it has to be legit game as steam had numerous updates to enable the support.. I posted site for £9.55 3 posts ago. Gotta be worth that just to support codemasters.
• 0
• I gave it a quick try (GFX 780ti).
  I used Direct Mode and noticed that it's hard to get a good performance on anything but low (I just saw comments about using Extended Mode, will have to give it a try).
  Overall it's a bit rough, but the good stuff here is the career mode, with an AI that's better than what you get in LFS.
  Btw, I couldn't get rid of the 'head bob', even though the FAQ says to disable it in the config file (which I did).
• Im getting judder in direct mode with no positional tracking. camera light is on but no go.
  TBH medium settings on extended mode with open broadcast has very little difference that ultra mode. But it does eliminate the judder.
• People having judder in direct mode, try lowering all the way *shadows* and *shaders* (don't need to lower anything else)
  (Still, extended mode gives better performance)
• sparkie 14 thanx got it for £9.53 game looks bad at the mo hope they get it better.
• Gotta say im quite enjoying it but i think its the rifts resolution letting it down. The gameplay is great and shows the potential of the rift and future racing games, Roll on Wed for assetto corsa but me thinks its going to suffer same graphical problems.

• People having judder in direct mode, try lowering all the way *shadows* and *shaders* (don't need to lower anything else)

  
  This
• online unplayable career mode is good, sparkie see you on the track 1 day
• Hopefully on assetto corsa see if u can catch me,

• People having judder in direct mode, try lowering all the way *shadows* and *shaders* (don't need to lower anything else)

  
  Don't like the dark windshied 'tint' from the lowest shader and Graphics on High in Extended Mode is much, much better. I hope Codemasters gives us Menus and a good performance in Direct Mode in next Patches.
• I wonder if this means all ego engine games will support VR then?
  last night f1 2011 online seemed to be broken, not allowing my mate and i into our co-op career. (I am guessing GFWL is the problem... it usually seems to be!)
  I was going to just buy 2013 as it is cheap (~£6) but if 2014 is going to get rift support I could just get that.

  Fiat Coupe, gone. 350Z gone. Dirty nappies, no sleep & practical transport incoming. Thank goodness for VR
• borderlands the pre sequel big screen in extended mode no head tracking.

• DK2 behaves just like a second screen in Extended Desktop mode. Set it in windows-settings to 'Landscape (Flipped)'. You can pull the game window into it or use the shortcuts. Alt-Enter to switch Fullscreen / Window.

  
  og course the oculus is set as show above but, as already wrote, when I start the game in extended mode, I only be able to see the game (2 sides) on ma monitor and everything black on the oculus !
  the game is legit and updated to last version.
• Great game, absolutely tons of fun - I'm running in direct mode (780ti) with ultra settings (shadows + shaders on low) and it's nice and smooth.
  Because it's in direct mode you don't have to mess around with OBS as the output is already on the monitor so you can easily navigate the non-vr menus.
  For some reason the game crashes every now and then between races. Image freezes but input/audio still works (you can start next race etc). This is a minor problem though as you can quit and then start again exactly where you were. I also liked the fact that my Logitech DFGT worked straight out of the box with the provided preset.
  So far I've played LFS, RRRE and now this in the DK2 and this is the hands down winner for both fun/graphics and ease to setup/start playing. Yes the interiors are pretty low detail but when driving you're not looking at the dash.
  Didn't think I'd enjoy the arcade style but after getting my doors wiped off in a touring car street course, my opinion was changed - this is seriously a really fun driving game.

  What patch?
  Do you mean this:
  http://blog.codemasters.com/grid/10/grid-autosport-oculus-rift-support/
  EDIT: If you do mean the above, then yes the patch with oculus support has been released a few days ago.
• Is there a download link for the patch? I cannot find it
