Good news GRID fans, if you've pre-ordered GRID Autosport you can now begin the pre-load sequence!
Not long to go now, we'll see you on the track :)
Launch Day is almost here!
We’re currently less than a week away from launch, something which is quite hard for us to fathom as it seemed like only yesterday we announced GRID Autosport to the world. The past few months have flown by in an automotive shaped blur.
GRID Autosport is now gold around the world, including Japan, and as you read this code is being burned onto discs and subsequently shipped to retailers worldwide. The game is now out of our hands and it’s heading full throttle straight into yours.

Mont Tremblant Makes The List
The early stages of a new game project are always exciting, it’s the point where all the ideas meetings happen and we discuss what tracks and cars we want to include. This is where THE LIST comes into play. We all have one, that wish list of tracks or cars that we’d love to see brought to life in the next project.
When we think of Street Racing we can’t help succumbing to a wave of nostalgia as we reminisce about races we had around the likes of San Francisco and Washington in Race Driver: GRID. The good news is that GRID Autosport looks set to forge similar memories as both locations make a return alongside Chicago, Dubai, Paris and Barcelona.
To complete the package you’ll we’ve got a great selection of cars just waiting for you to get behind the wheel and tear up the city streets. There are a number of classics such as the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo 2 or BMW E30 Sport Evo all the way up to the modern day hypercars such as the McLaren P1™ and Pagani Zonda Revolución. Throw in some hot hatches, Coupes and Grand Tourers and there’s something in the Autosport garage that’ll satisfy many needs.
Having launched alongside DiRT Showdown back in 2012, it’s crazy to think that RaceNet is over two years old already. New games have arrived and with each one the service continues to evolve. We’re now on the brink of releasing GRID Autosport to the world, and with it, our best RaceNet support to date.
We’ve got a host of great RaceNet features, from the familiar stat tracking to the brand new RaceNet Clubs, which is one feature we think you’re going to absolutely love. But enough talk, let’s dive into the details.
We get behind the wheel of a Ford GT40 MK1 and head to Mont Tremblant in Canada.

Discipline Focus // Open Wheel
This is racing at its finest, where the optimal racing line and braking points are worth valuable tenths of a second.
Unlike the Touring Car discipline where drivers aren't afraid to rub a little paint now and then, Open Wheel is all about avoiding contact as the fragile nature of the cars mean only the faintest of touches is required to put a dent in your hopes of a podium.
Yesterday you may have seen the list of tracks that we confirmed as being in the game and today it’s time to confirm the cars.
Whether you’re looking to get behind the wheel of a Honda Civic Touring Car, a Ford GT40 MK1, Mazda 787B, Lola B05/52 or a McLaren P1™ we’ve got you covered. On with the list!
When we first announced GRID Autosport we confirmed that it would be home to 22 locations with a combined route list that totals over 100. Of these 22 locations the vast majority would be circuits, including the likes of Hockenheim, Sepang, Jarama and Yas Marina.
Today we’re really excited to be confirming the full track list for you all. We’ve got some old friends making an appearance alongside a couple of fresh faces that we think will offer some great racing action, but enough talk!
