Because some people suffer from colour blindness and this doesn't help.

I don't suffer from colour blindness, and it's still annoying and hard to read @-)

I expect it works a bit like in grid 2 Flowa.
At the start you go to car screen and then after 15 secs or so you load the track, if youre comming late you are bound to us ethe last touring car you used.
I hope I am wrong and you still can pick a car if you join a session in progress but honostly I dont think I am wrong.

According to what Loore said up there then you are wrong.
You can join a session mid-way, and choose a car....
                                    "from a selection that fits in with the event in process"
I guess there must still be a point where a late joiner joins sooo late that this isnt possible tho.
Will this type of super-late joiner be able to race in, whatever' or not race at all remains a finer detail we dont yet know i guess.

If i join right after the lobby has started the race, i have 5 laps to wait for the finish. 10 minutes. What to do, Game?

At least, have time for tuning and setup. 

And chatting/spectating:)

@couger1981

Yes it is.

Your not going to get 20-25 grids just yet, even on PC you'd have to start making concessions to accommodate it. Rest assured that 16 cars on the grid feels like plenty when you're racing, as does 12 online.

25 cars into the first corner online..

Yes it is.

thought it was as that's the cover on my order for the game on Amazon when I per ordered it

@Loore @justbiglee I noticed that EB Games here in Australia is calling the game Grid Motorsport, is the name different throughout the world?

Not sure what EB Games you looking at. :P

Sadly the video is german only, but you can see the cockpit-sight, which some1 might be interested in (it's a joke! oO)
No own team this year as well, only contract races.
Seems like a huge disappointment for me.

sometimes some games aer labelled differently I know that to appeal to p[eople in those countries I think 1 or 2 of the original TOCa's were as well I remember reading recently

So..40 mins is an Endurance race? That was my only complaint about Grid1 was the races weren't long enough. No strategy envolved, and no pitstops?   I'm looking forward to this game, but we are still in need of a Proper LMS series, or IndyCar series. I easily drop 4 hours at a time in NASCAR running 100% races.

Unfortunately Grid or any codemster game isn't aimed at people who like long races, even F1 2013 now has mid session saves because people complained about not having enough time to do full sessions in one go and F1 races are only 2 hours at the most.

Agreed! Sadly, it's all about the mass market these days and mass market doesn't want 2-hour long races, or rather marketing depts. think mass market doesn't. This leaves the Indies to develop the more specialist games and there seem to be fewer and fewer of those these days.

5 min is a long race :-)

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! :)

Spa at night is going to be awesome, too. Seriously. :)

5 laps of la Sarthe would be tasty.
