Grid: Autosport is definitely more realistic, but only marginally. The drifting in Grid 2 was a very nice way to hide the lack of physics and Autosports attempt to be more authentic really only serves to reveal the problems with this physics engine.  I actually just played Grid 1 for the first time just then (yay for Steam sales!). I have to say, it's a lot better feeling than both Grid 2 and Autosport... they were really on the right track back then (pun!). I played iRacing for years, but don't play it up much now as took up too much time! lol

We are waiting for you. In the test chamber.

Agreed. I also don't need to hear that I get a extra point for qualifying first, or that Nathan McKane will be replaying that race over and over again.To be honest, the radio comms falls flat and is a real missed opportunity. 

Hehe. It was a simple, fun game. Accessible, I liked it. 

True. But it's subjective anyway. I like Autosport, but am leaning towards Grid 2 as being the better game. 

I thought that might get a few replies. Hehe.

lol It's actually the most probable scenario. ...

Here's me racing around Bathurst in AS for the first time. http://youtu.be/zDkVfMzLB1U

Grid 2 has more realistic handling (yep) but Autosport attempts to be more realistic.

This how all Codies games are. They're fun, but don't look too closely, it's all too easy to see the strings and puppets etc behind the scenes.

Grid 2 wasn't trying to be accurate. It did what it set out to do perfectly. It's probably the best drift-based racer in a decade.

Dumb and aggressive for sure.

Once you master Autosports handling it becomes better. The entry level cars seem to feel as though they're running on flat tyres with broken diffs or something.

Sif not buy digital...

To be honest, taking nothing away from the game, but a lot of the tracks are very very inaccurate.

Tell me how to skip the tracks?  Just forefit that race weekend? Just quit out of the races and get 0 credit. I mean if doing the tracks in reverse r to hard just wimp out and quit. Nothing about the tracks being "too hard"... in my opinion there is no track that is "too hard".  It's just not in the spirit of being an authentic (all be it an arcade physics based) racing game. But this game in no way is trying to be authentic. 

Must be playing on Very Hard? ... :P

Only glitch so far that I think I've found, apart from constantly going from full screen to not full screen for no apparent reason, is the sounds of the Holden VE Ute (and probably Ford Ute too). Once you get to about 500'ish RPMs from the limiter, it sounds like the pistons are knocking all over the place. Almost like the sound engine is applying the limiter sounds at the wrong RPM. edit; ignoring that the Utes sound like German V8s too... :P

And in real life none of us would be allowed within 10ft of a real race car... but that's because this is a video game...

Grid 2 was fantastic btw.

On PC? Tried ALT+Enter and then ALT+Enter again?

It equates to different ways to experience the game. That to me means more content, but each to their own.

I'm confused. Reversed/mirrored tracks = more content. Is that what we're talking about?

No, it actually is more content. It allows you to race in reverse. Like it or not, that is more content.

I have to admit that while Autosport runs mostly very well for me, occasionally I do get these very odd half second pauses mid game for no apparent reason (and that's on a very high end machine).
