GT vs Race Driver Grid (fun factor)?

[flowaangelz]

First of all, hi to everyone as it's my first post here

I know GRID was an arcade game and GT6 is a sim/simcade with its physics or setups. But as a PC owner I have never played it before. Now since i got PS3 i'm thinking of buying it.

I'm looking for every day bumper to bumper racing with evenly matched players and cars. Is it possible to do it in GT6 like it was in original GRID with the touring cars? Will i find online lobbies/clans/leagues that will give me that feel i had in GRID?

Welcome to GTP!

GRiD was awesome in many ways but the physics... The physics were pretty horrible!

But the feeling when driving the 24 hours of Le Mans, that was one of it's strongpoints. 👍

GT6? Yes, in GT6 you can do similar races as in GRiD, minus the damage and dirtyness. I can already reccomend one league to you - ITCC Season 4! 👍

I'd venture to say that the racing is better in GT6. GRiD's physics made it hard to evenly match drivers. The cars were hard for some people, but I remember getting a couple Top 10 fast lap records online.now, on GT6, there are 3000 people who are faster than even I am... and a lot of them are, as Ciro said, in ITCC4. we have pretty close racing, because we can match the cars very evenly and the drivers can all get most of the cars' performance. In GRiD, things were harder to control because of the weird physics. I didn't want to skid, but it was faster to skid...

Whoever could skid most won. That's not racing, that's drifting. GT6 is. 1000x better.

Thx!

It's good to know there are touring cars racing fans out there in GT6 big world

@Andrew - Grid physics was weird but pretty easy once u understood it. Then it was only learning tracks thing and after few months me and my circle of Grid friends were able to have close fights every day for hours and only few secs separated whole field at the finish line.

Drifting as a faster way of cornering is a bug known in Grid 2 and it has totally ruined the game. In original Grid it wasn't present.

Do you ITCC guys race only on weekends or also through whole week?

Weekends.

A mix of Grid 1 gameplay and structure in a GT game would be fantastic...

To this day, grid 1 is still the only console racer with a GT spec mustang in it...
