GRID Autosport

John B. Marine | 4:41 PM | | |
The ultimate in GRID is GRID Autosport. This 2014 title is more in line with the classic ToCA games than any GRID prior. Different disciplines of tarmac motorsport make up the handful of races in GRID Autosport. This is a blog post that takes a look at the wild world of GRID in GRID Autosport. Are you ready? Let's do this!






GRID Autosport


Meet GRID Autosport:

Codemasters GRID Autosport
^ from: (Amazon) - GRID Autosport brings the series closer to its ToCA roots but with a different style.

GRID Autosport was designed to bring the series much closer to its ToCA roots apart from GRID 2. In it, you get a return to different disciplines of motorsport rather than a mostly street car-focused GRID like GRID 2 was. You are trying to establish yourself as one of the best drivers in the world across many disciplines of racing and in many different kinds of cars.

Like ToCA Race Driver 3, there are different disciplines to concern yourself with in GRID Autosport. You are out to try to prove yourself among the different tiers of competition with different kinds of cars.


Cars.

As with most other GRID and ToCA games, you will have a fair share of classic and modern vehicles. Everything from muscle cars, hot hatchbacks, utes, GT race cars, prototype race cars, formula race cars, and much more fill up the number of racing machines offered in GRID Autosport. You can tune and even upgrade cars prior to races beginning.

When online, you can have a set of cars that you can customize and add liveries to. Unfortunately, you are unable to port over your Career Mode cars to Online. It's one of the same fallacies of GRID 2.


Locations.

The locations are a mixed bag of temporary courses and permanent race courses. Take on a host of city street courses the world over along with a handful of proper race tracks like Circuit of the Americas, Mont-Tremblant, and Sepang among others. A lot of the courses have different layouts for your racing pleasure. So you can try out any number of courses offered.


Teams.

Unlike the previous two GRID games, GRID Autosport gives you the choice to race with certain teams. There are 11 teams, but really, there are 10. I am at least including one team as one team with color variation. So here are the 10 teams in GRID Autosport:

• Ravenwest Motorsport and Ravenwest Motorsport (White)
• Oakley Motorsport
• Liqui Moly Racing Team
• Team Kicker
• Cusco Racing
• K&N Motorsport
• Intel Motorsport
• Forge Motorsport
• Monster Energy Racing
• Razer Motorsport

There are no advantages or disadvantages to racing for any specific team. Also, not every team has livery for each car. So one car may have livery options for all teams except a few. Also, some cars don't have specific team liveries like the teams you see above. Instead, you will mostly see generic named liveries like "Livery 1," "Livery 2," etc.


Races and Championships.

Each of the individual disciplines are laid out for you to take part in. Here are the five displines of motorsport you will take part in:

• Touring - the best in the wild world of touring car racing.
• Endurance - high-powered sports cars and race cars await you here.
• Open-Wheel - show your prowess in these capable, yet fragile pure race cars.
• Tuner - race in tuner cars and performance-tuned cars.
• Street - compete in mostly street stock vehicles ranging from compacts to hypercars.

Each discipline has its array of individual series dedicated to each specific discipline. Be sure to complete as many of the different races as possible.




GRID Autosport: Final Thoughts


GRID Autosport is a great game especially if you feel GRID is too far out of touch of the ToCA games that inspired GRID. GRID Autosport is actually a blend of the arcade-style madness of GRID coupled with the unforgiving reality of real racing that the ToCA games provide. So you can say this little-of-everything game offers the best of GRID and ToCA in one package. Any real shortcomings regarding GRID Autosport are mostly nit-picks. To be honest, there is not to much to complain about, except matbe if you were expecting a customization package for teams like in the first GRID rather than have a separate set of cars for Career Mode and Online/Racenet Mode. There is just enough racing to keep you busy when you play GRID Autosport.

If this kind of action excites you, then hesitate no longer- get this game NOW!

I tried to push this post sooner with the frequency I posted about the other GRID games. Sadly, it took this long for a mostly completed blog post. That's one of the disadvantages of being a solo entity in the creative realm. Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed this post along with my others. Thank you for reading! Take care and be well.
