Sweet, I'm not the only one who doesn't like Endurance. :p Most tedious category and the lack of pit stops is disappointing imo. I find every other category enjoyable in general though.

My order of favouritism:
Street > Open Wheel > Touring > Tuner (If point to point tracks return to this category, it will move upwards) >>>> Endurance
 
I like Touring and Open-Wheel equally. Then I like Street and Endurance equally. Then I like tying raw steak to my body and out-running Doberman Pinschers. Then I would say that I like Tuner, but that assumes that Tuner is a sport.
 
Thanks to a top 80%* showing in the Racenet challenges from the previous week, I had enough to buy my first Cat C touring car. Brand new, too. Went with the 320i and painted it white with the BMW Motorsport colours on the livery. Trouble is, I'm always, always getting into some sort of bother and finishing towards the back. Even when I'm fighting for fourth or third, I get out of shape or caught up in someone else's misery.

Still massive fun, though.

*200k for finishing relatively low down the rankings is nicely lucrative.
 
Had fun with the original Grid's line-up of cars, I wish in Grid Autosport, every car, track, team and livery from the original Grid and Grid 2 return as DLC. Imagine how fun that'll be!

If the Best of British car park is anything to go by, Codies are selling downloadable cars from previous games already.
 
Ladies and gentlemen, 2 days ago I entered the multi-player online mode and have thoroughly embarrassed myself and have settled in as a perpetual back marker. The reverse tracks are exceedingly tough yet exciting. Is there an option to practice or qualify, I haven't seen one from the online menu?

US PS Store still doesn't have DLC for Grid Autosport yet, except for that online pass DLC

You can't practice in an online lobby, but I reckon the best thing to do is run the tracks in custom cup offline to get better at reverse layouts.

The first car pack has been up since last week, at least on the EU store. Hopefully it should appear for you in this week's update.
 
For me it's:

Touring=Open-wheel > Endurance > Street > Tuner

I think Tuner is not too bad now because I just skip the drift events. I just start them and quit.

The fact that there are no pit stops during endurance races is a sin. I'd love to have some pit strategy involved.

As for my personal favourite categories:
Open Wheel --> Touring --> Street --> Tuner --> Endurance
 
In career mode, has anyone experienced the car driving itself for qualifying? All button inputs were futile except the start button and the rewind feature.

Only once so far. For me, it happened on Autosport Club Circuit while doing one of the early Formula C events. I gave up and decided to fight my way through the pack instead - which turned out to be very entertaining.


Also, I've decided to move onto ''Very Hard'' AI difficulty after 10 seasons in career mode. Should keep me on my toes even more. Wish me luck!

Very hard is the reason for my career mode hiatus. It's a relentless task master. I'll give the setting another go, to feel like how Lewis Hamilton must've felt at some point over the weekend
 
This is going to sound like a stupid question, but what happens if I win the GRID Legends Series? Does the game end? I've gotten everything up to level 9, but I still have thirteen championships left over, and a handful of achievements to unlock.

EDIT: never mind - my save data is corrupt!

It usually only happens if you write the car off in practice or qualifying.

that was the case. 20 secs left in practice in Yas Marina, an overturned car was in the way and I wanted to see what would happen if I hit it. Cool feature then
 
:lol: Today some Spanish guy got annoyed with me because I dived in the inside line since there was a gap on the last lap to get 3rd place in touring cars he then started knocking my rear bumper but didn't manage to spin me. For some reason he wanted to kick me out of the lobby when i did nothing wrong wtf? and unfortunately I got kicked from the lobby even though he was the bad sports. I have had a few good online races today winning 2 in a row and getting podium for most races. Really dislike people who try to spin you out for know reason.
 
I checked out the leader boards for the challenges and it's a humbling experience. Would getting a wheel in lieu of a controller help my times?

I would vote for a wheel, it will not only improve your times...it will improve your enjoyment of time spent!

fair enough. trouble is my existing furnishings. a proper wheel requires a proper stand a proper chair and rearranging some other items in the room. in due time i suppose

It seems to happen because the AI takes control of the car at the end of the session. But because the car was written off, the auto-drive never takes over until you start the next session.

Damn hope you did a backup? What happened?

I have no idea what happened. I finished the second-from-last Touring championship, turned off the console after the auto-save did its thing, then came back to the game several hours later and found the data was corrupted.

I hope your USB backup worked, seeing you've been playing loads of GAS the last month? @LeGeNd-1 said afterwards the game didn't recognize his backup save and held it as corrupted to...:scared:

Why exactly?

Mainly thanks to the AI. God knows how many restarts I've had to make due to being spun out or getting my car trashed by the AI. Not to mention spinning out on the last corner with no way to recover - with seven seconds to go. #GiveUsPitstops

:D
 
It would be so nice if the AI could back off just a little bit in the Endurance events, yes. With no way to repair your car, 35 minutes is a LONG time to deal with damage. I don't mind if it happens now and then, but when you have to restart 8 times just to get through the first lap and then get smashed 6 or 7 minutes in... well that just gets old really fast. It's a bit more difficult to schedule a 40 minute race than the usual 20-25 minutes as well.

Then again, they could be a little less rough in all of them and I wouldn't mind. They usually aren't too bad about shoving and rubbing and barging in the early open-wheel events I've run but they still are of course prone to occasionally just not seeing you or attempting a completely impossible dive-bomb pass. But in the other series, between the AI's general foolishness and them all being 10mph faster in a straight line than you(actually that seems to be exaggerated even more in Endurance, but I may be mistaken) and then you throw in Ravenwest being corny videogame bosses instead of just a really good racing team, things can get pretty ugly from time to time. That's just racing in the land of GRID, I guess.


Doesn't help that I seem to have trouble keeping up with the bots in the low-level teams' Aston and McLaren I've been driving of course. :) I really don't understand why it seems so much harder in that one discipline. In the other series, if I just keep my car in one piece and keep the major slides and off-track adventures to a minimum I'll be battling for a podium if not fighting for the win on Hard most every time. But so far in endurance I'm doing well to finish mid-pack(and I mean 8th-12th mid-pack, not 4th mid-pack ;) ). And yet I've read a number of mentions of Endurance being the worst for slow AI. Oh, well... gotta get better.

Am I the only one who hasn't got AI aggression problems in Endurance? For me, they're quite calm all race long (except turn 1).
