    Been playing Dirt Showdown a bit today, great fun! I'm really enjoying the Joyride section. I'm wondering whether the drifiting controls are comparable to those in the Tuner discipline (tap the handbrake and then accelerate hard while countersteering a bit), or will it be a bit more complex (like the impossible drifting in the Shift games from EA)
    Drifting in Autosport requires a lot more throttle management, if you put your foot to the floor while drifting around a corner you'll likely end up spinning out as the rear end will just go from under you. 

    Careful throttle management is the key to success and the way I usually play it is that I break into the corner and and adjust throttle / steering lock as required. One thing to note is that it's a constant process, it's no longer a case of break > throttle > end corner. A lot more skill involved this time around, it's not impossible but there's certainly room for those that are good at drift to shine, and those that want to improve to do so.

    Why an embargo review. Afraid of something?
    Every review is under embargo in the gaming world, it's so that they all go live at the same time so press / media / community all know when to get it ready for. Saves people rushing to get it out of the door 'first'.

    Wouldn't say we're afraid of anything, we've talked about the game in more detail than any of our previous games.

  3. We’re currently less than a week away from launch, something which is quite hard for us to fathom as it seemed like only yesterday we announced GRID Autosport to the world. The past few months have flown by in an automotive shaped blur.

    GRID Autosport is now gold around the world, including Japan, and as you read this code is being burned onto discs and subsequently shipped to retailers worldwide. The game is now out of our hands and it’s heading full throttle straight into yours.

    Q: Do we really need to wait another week ?  :O)

    Serious one:

    When starting the online career you can start your club and make a livery. You can start designing your livery on any of the cars available as soon as you go online?

    Can you tell how the driverrating (dirty/clean) is shown in the online lobbies?
    1) Afraid so :(

    2) Yes as soon as you go online you can start making clubs and liveries. Worth noting you can only make a livery for a car that you've purchased.

    This is GRID Autosport, this is racing.

    Set to feature 22 locations including circuits such as Hockenheimring, Mount Panorama, Circuit of the Americas, Intercity Istanbul Park, Circuito Del Jarama, Circuit Mont Tremblant, Red Bull Ring, Sepang International Circuit, Spa-Francorchamps, Yas Marina Circuit, Okutama, Indianapolis, Autosport Raceway, Brands Hatch and Autódromo do Algarve.

    City tracks are also feature and include; Barcelona, Chicago, Detroit, Dubai, Paris, San Francisco and Washington.

    In your garage you'll have over 80 cars to choose from, including the Honda Civic Touring Car, a Ford GT40 MK1, Mazda 787B, Lola B05/52 or a McLaren P1™, whatever type of racing you prefer, we've got you covered.

    Race across five unique disciplines; Touring, Open Wheel, Endurance, Tuner and Street.

    RaceNet Clubs will allow you to form your own online groups where you can compare progress, compete with other players in the club on a leaderboard, and battle for overall supremacy with other clubs.

  6. I have two final nagging questions.

    1.) Somewhere earlier I thought I saw a slider where you could adjust the "look to apex" view but now I can't find any information on it. Is this in the game? Can we adjust the degree of head movement when turning? Thanks.

    2.) Race Net is a great way to be in a group an compare stats against each other and even challenge other clubs, but can you share cars within the Club (kind of like Forza)? And if not, can you either i) sell a car to someone for, say, $1; or ii) compete in "on-line" events either by yourself or that do not involve joining public lobbies?

    Thanks.
    1) Not in Autosport

    2) Can't share or sell cars to other people. You can compete in RaceNet challenge events which are online events but you'll be the only 'player' in the event.

  7. The early stages of a new game project are always exciting, it’s the point where all the ideas meetings happen and we discuss what tracks and cars we want to include.  This is where THE LIST comes into play.  We all have one, that wish list of tracks or cars that we’d love to see brought to life in the next project.


  8. When we think of Street Racing we can’t help succumbing to a wave of nostalgia as we reminisce about races we had around the likes of San Francisco and Washington in Race Driver: GRID. The good news is that GRID Autosport looks set to forge similar memories as both locations make a return alongside Chicago, Dubai, Paris and Barcelona.

    To complete the package you’ll we’ve got a great selection of cars just waiting for you to get behind the wheel and tear up the city streets. There are a number of classics such as the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo 2 or BMW E30 Sport Evo all the way up to the modern day hypercars such as the McLaren P1™ and Pagani Zonda Revolución. Throw in some hot hatches, Coupes and Grand Tourers and there’s something in the Autosport garage that’ll satisfy many needs.
