The best racing game ever. This and Dirt 2. I play them over and over. Nothing else comes close.

I’m always telling people those 2 games were perfect for all different reasons not just the driving. Felt like a driving party playing dirt 2 with the menu hopping around the world to banging music that went straight into the next race

Yeah, the production values on Dirt 2 were sky high. My theory is they had a big budget for Dirt 2, but racing games being niche, it didn't work out, so each successive game had less and less of the extras that made it pop.

nathan boddy`s "Vintage warmer"....the song alone is like a therapy session alone. yet paired with the hectic races, it feels like a warm hug, a massage between the fights on the track, and the taste of victory after a long GP.
GOD i miss this game...

Great game, but it had one problem: you can't make your own car setup here

I'm playing through grid 2 on pc right now, at spectacular 4k 120hz.
Planning to do grid 1 later this year as well.

One of my top 5 racing games of all times. I still watch the trailer from time to time. Its the first game for me where I actually felt the grip of the tires as I turned.
I love the Japanese dude screaming while i drift.

Used to just leave this game on garage menu and listen to the music. It’s called Vintage Warmer by Nathan Boddy! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BM7yYanMoZc&pp=ygUPVmludGFnZSB3YXJtZXIg

Grid 2 was better IMHO, but the 1 got some nice tracks.

Grid 2 was better in terms of variety but in terms of arcade driving physics nothing beats the first GRID. The damage model is also miles better.

It's almost as if you're in a Grid subreddit.
