    It also messed up F12013 with the added DLC Historic tracks splitting the community in two... I will never fall for that again.
    I don't think CM will screw up like that again either at least I hope not. A lot of mistakes were made last year with both Grid and F1. At least CM appear to be acknowledging that now and are trying to put things right. I just hope that F1 2014 turns out to be as good an attempt to get us back onside as this Grid attempt appears to be because I'm really looking forward to this.

    Fair enough. But I always imagined Fabregas playing a lot further back than Mata.
    Why would he, though? 'A lot further back' would be something like a CDM role- and while you can attack from there (e.g. Xabi Alonso) that's not what Fabregas specialises in.

    yeah he's more of an attacking midfielder than defensive I agree give him the Lampard role in the team and he'll do a lot of damage.

    Please codemasters look at this thread for future reference. Touring / Open Wheel / Endurance have all the votes and so far Tuner / Street have none. Next time more Touring / Open Wheel / Endurance cars and less Tuner / Street cars please
    U got a point, but how many of those gamers comes to the forums? 
    I for one am not into the tuners and street. 
    It's almost also as if I wanna say: -if u wanna do open-wheelers get the F1-game :D
    maybe but the beauty of Grid is the fact that you get to race different machines across different disciplines it gives you the option to try different things. I'm primarily an open wheel racer as F1 is the racing game I play most and if I was only interested in that I'd stick with it. Grid and Dirt (fits in this as well) gives the option of racing something outside of the norm so for example I can take a Touring car or a drift machine out for a spin instead of an F1 car. Otherwise CM may as well stick with the F1 series and not give us any more Grids and I think that would be worse. Personally I think they've got this game right in terms of the mix thus far (especially as we can now choose the discipline we want or a mix of them) but I'm going purely on observation though.

    As long as you drive youre car in real life lying on youre hood there is nothng wrong indeed.   

    In my opinion racegames should have only one view available and that is incar.   ;)

    Laying on your hood sounds more like nose cam to me....which i dont generally use because its far to low.
    I used to use chase cam when i was younger, but that was because i wanted to 'see' the car i was driving.
    Now i prefer to drive the car i am driving and hood cam is the easiest cam to use, especially without track-ir.

    cockpit view seems to restricted for my liking.


    Yeah I agree that's why I don't use it I'm not too worried about what's behind me as the arrows give me enough info in that regard I use hood view or bonnet view (as I call it) because I need to be able to see enough out ahead to plan my next move and see where I can make one and to do this I like to see what's up the road ahead  that's why I use the T cam on the open wheelers for the same reason

    5 min is a long race :-)
    5 laps is a long race. I have trouble doing 5 laps without screwing up somewhere and letting Gooner pass me. :P

    I'm personally looking forwards to running some full 40-minute endurance races online with friends.

    Feels like the perfect length to test driving skill/adaptation and for concentration. I know one or two people I play with who would need to stop for a bathroom break if it got any longer than that! :)



    I can remember back in the old days with GRID 1, at one time we use to do 30 min races in a private host for a tournament. 30 mins with a force feedback wheel, you start to feel it in your arms after 20 mins.

    I could not last doing a 2 hour race.
    I only do the odd 100% race on F1 as that's usually plenty enough for me too. I normally prefer 25% career mode distance races although I don't play with a wheel it can get tiring after a while on keyboard with one hand.

  6. Will be
    1. open wheeler
    2. endurance
    3. touring cars
    Then in-between online sessions we'll fill out street and tuner
    yeah those are my main disciplines too. I don't expect to touch tuner much as I suck at drifting although I will have a go at all 5 disciplines Street I may be OK with after a bit of practice but I don't really care that much for that discipline Obviously I think Open wheel is my top discipline as I tend to do best in F1 type cars but racing at night in Endurance intrigues me as well did a spot of Endurance racing yesterday on Shift and F1 as a little bit of practice was a lot of fun too

  7. By the way PC user gonna have a "huge, free high res texture DLC" .. i wonder if one of the purpose of this dlc is to better the current low tex cockpit view.

    Last I heard the high res textures have something to do with erflections and things like this maybe @Loore can give us some more details but that's all I remember

  8. Formula 1 changing to a more reliable fuel flow sensor for the 2015 season, looks like they may be finally admitting there is a issue with the sensors.
    If i were Red bull i would be challenging the decision again for what happened to Ricciardo.

    F1 times
    I think they'll just accept that the decision has been made now anyway and just forget it happened

  9. I'll be getting it, just where from is another matter, steam is about £27 with 10% from grid 2.

    However i have spotted it at £17.90 from a site called cdkeys - which seems too good to be true can anyone comment?
    There are numerous sites selling Cdkeys, it's very much a grey area.
    The Gaming companies don't tend to interfere with them, and a lot of people do use them.
    At some point I guess things will get better defined but until then you take your chances with them.
    If you are worried about playing online with them don't be, they are not illegal copies . . .

    I don't use them myself, £34.50 for the Black edition hard copy at Game is a fair price . . .
    ~O)
    or £29.86 for my copy from Amazon bargain for a great game like Autosport

    Hang on, Formula B - Lola B05/52

    Am I right in thinking that's the 2005-2006 A1GP car?! :-D


    That's the one!
    You made me curious, and I had to Google the car.

    If so .... holy damn that looks sexy. Needless to say I'm going to be thoroughly looking forwards to tier-2 open-wheel races if that's the case :)
    yeah looks fast doesn't it? :p

  11. I wouldn't compare this game to Forza. I like Forza and all, but it's missing something. I can't quite put my finger on it, but Grid has everything I want except longer races. I love the team structure and career mode. Forza doesnt have that structure.
    neither would I sa tey'er both different series running on different platforms and engines the only thing you can compare it with aer other games of the series really other Grid games and the only question I can resally ask is. Is this game better than Grid 1/2? and right now judging by what I've observed of the game and right now I csan only go on observations and feedback others have given but the answer seems to be yes it is at least that's the answer right now we won't know 100% until the game is in our hands though

  12. Think CM have made it pretty clear they don’t want to get into that situation again with Autosport. Personally I’m not even convinced there’ll be any significant DLC anyway, they won’t want to support a last-gen-only title any longer than they have to. More likely they’ll provide “support” by organising more of their racing leagues and other community-focused activities.
    agreed they'll support the leagues and supply patches where needed but I think that's as far CM will want to go as soon as Autosport is done. As I think they'll want to move onto the next gen now like the other  gaming companies have
