Best of British Car Pack
The 'Best of British' car pack features three stunning vehicles; each engineered and produced in the UK and it arrives later today.

We caught up with Lead Handling Designer Gehan Pathiraja to talk about each of the cars:

1995 McLaren F1 GTR
"We all know the McLaren F1 is an awesome road car -- this is the GTR designed for Endurance Racing. It's got a huge wing that will give you massive downforce in the corners, it's all about being brave and attacking those corners at speeds you never thought possible."

2011 Aston Martin Zagato V12
"The Zagato model has bodywork styled by Italian designers, but has a typical Aston Martin V12 engine, very powerful, very torquey. If you can manage the weight and the grip and fire it out the corners, you'll benefit from all that power from the V12."

2007 McLaren Mercedes SLR 722
"It's got a huge supercharged V8 engine that sounds like an old World War Two Spitfire. There's clearly a lot of power being put out from the V8, and you can really feel that in the car in our game."

The Best of British Car Pack is included within the Season Pass but is also available to purchase separately for £2.39 | € 2.99 | $2.99

Football fever may well be over for us and while the German members of the team continue their celebrations we’re putting the football behind us and looking ahead to this week’s livery challenge.

Stripes are cool, well we think so anyway and because of this fact your task this week is to create the best stripe styled livery that you can. Feel free to use whichever cars and colours you want, the only stipulation is that is has to utilise the pattern ‘stripes’.

Colours: Any
Car: Any
Pattern: Any | Stripes

Once you’ve completed your livery, simply send it to gridgame@codemasters.com or post a link to it in the comments below.

Head on over to the blog for our favourite ones from last week.

Multiplayer Playlist Changes
One of the things we’re deeply committed to is ensuring the multiplayer experience is as good as possible. Part of this process revolves around the feedback you’ve provided and since launch we’ve been carefully sifting through everything you’ve had to say.

Currently we’re busy preparing a number of improvements that are due to come in an upcoming patch; including advanced controller options for all wheels and controllers, a virtual rear view mirror and we’re also tweaking the matchmaking system to ensure finding games is a much smoother process.

Today though we’re here to talk about playlists, and one thing we’ve been hearing from your feedback is that you want more variety in the available tracks.

As such we’ll be making the following changes in an upcoming patch:

  • Increased number of potential routes across each of the five disciplines
  • Increased number of GP routes that appear
  • Ensured all locations feature prominently (See Red Bull Ring)

A Note on Future Content
Now that we’re a few laps past the launch of GRID Autosport, we thought it would be a good time to talk about the extra content that we’re planning on adding to the game over the next few months.

Many of you that have picked up the Season Pass have raised the question; “just what will I get?” We understand that silence around a Season Pass can raise a number of concerns, which is why we’re here today to give you a rough outline.
