AlexZAfRo put up the touringcar video as well. It's just great to see AI battling it out on the track like that. @anim8r_uk since this is the preview version, in which era's the game is improved again? You have any info on the differences between them?

This code is a few months old now. We've been polishing the game is every area since this was released. Tightning up Menus/UI, polishing FX and Environment art, Optimising code....the list goes on. The last few months of development is all about bug fixing and polishing. It's one of the best times in development because you really get to fix up all the areas you didn't have time for earlier on. It's also really stressful as you're working to a very tight timeline.... which is why I need a holiday :D

I like this guys videos, but I have to say.... he complains a lot about the corner cutting.... while driving completely off track and cutting corners!! Of course you're going to get a penalty! If you drive properly and don't cut corner (read: cheat) then you don't get a penalty. Also... the penalty will only apply if you gain an advantage and all 4 wheels have to be over the white line (clear cut).... if you cut a corner and lift off (gaining no advantage) then no penalty. Simples

*EDIT* actually.. after watching the whole video, that was painful... lol. Not sure I wanna race him online.... lolololololol

You wiff of PC snobbism Fuzzy (only joking) :D

Over the years i have done some epic racing on PS3, from Shift to GT and many more.

I have always found high level groups to race with, very quick but most of all very clean,
i know loads hate Shift2 but for me they was the best days, we had a great group on GTP
and had some epic championships, most of all it was great fun, even with all the games faults.

Can you remember them days Fuzzy, was we ( I ) less serious back then? :)

If GRID Autosport is as good as its looking, it would be great to get some touring car championships going,
like the good old days on PS3 :D

Yeah, I thought twice before posting that one as it can be interpreted as you stated. Yes, I do remember that S2U group. That was some good online racing even with that game's challenges. I also remember you cheating :mad:

Keep in mind that if I run into racers that are "too" fast, they must be cheating in my book :cheers:

No Nurburgring and La Sarthe :lol:

Only the omission of La Sarthe surprises me, it was in Grid 1. Not surprised about Nurburgring.

F3 video was interesting, lists it as Formula C, similar to pCars. Wonder if we will get an F1 style Formula A.
 
Pretty excited about this my problem is that since its coming on PS3 and not the PS4 I still have no reason for the PS4 even though I want one so badly. :lol: I guess that saves me some money for the time being at least. My favorite thing is the nod to the old ToCA games with the multiple disciplines. I hope the different paths are pretty extensive and unique from each other and not the same races with different car grids.
 
Good Track list just hate the city tracks, on GRID2 there was a lot of cheating going on ie wall riding, has anything been done to stop this in Autosport?

British F3 drive Alice Powell stopped by the studio today to give feedback on Grid Autosport. She also smashed the fastest time on the Pro driver challenge! Was awesome to witness!

The challenge is set using the Ford Focus Touring Car around Brands Hatch on the D-Box. Manual Gears, No TC, No ABS. Each driver gets 5 laps to set their fastest time.

It's right along the lines of Gran Turismo, even has more sim aspects like practice, qualifying and race. I would go out to say this is better [than Gran Turismo]

The track list, car list, etc., has all been released. I'll give it points for a decent quality mix of very few cars, but... Not much for variety.

Gran Turismo, though, has a thousand cars. More than enough to never get bored...
