GRID: Autosport’s success hinges on getting handling exactly right, and Codemasters went about this very meticulously. They started with real world values, and then collating data from videos, and actually got into the cars 1sthand. The end result? They captured the character of each car in-game, and not just the raw data.

For all the positive steps forward, we’re not quite looking at the ‘perfect racing game’. There are still elements of the original GRID that are superior, such as its hazy art style, or the sense of having someone really guide you through an actual racing career. But the simple fact is that GRID Autosport looks better than the original, handles better and gives you greater control over what you play and when you play it. It’s a tightly delivered, yet content-packed, experience that will serve as the real GRID 2 while we wait to see what the EGO engine will look like on Xbox One and PS4.

The first Grid was good fun, and while Grid 2 tried to appeal to everyone, Autosport focuses on appealing to racing fans. There are a few niggles, but the game goes back to basics and gets them all right. It’s not a revolution for driving games, but if feels like a ‘best of’ for the series so far, and that’s definitely a good thing.

GRID Autosport is essentially the answer to what the die-hard Race Driver: GRID fans wanted. Cockpit cam is back, it’s more challenging than GRID 2, it still looks rather pretty, there’s loads of different race types and the online component is more than ample. All in all, it’s a racing fan’s dream, albeit one that doesn’t feel like any sort of a significant step forward for the series. If anything, it’s Codemasters moving back to what it did with the first GRID, stripping out any of the extraneous bells and whistles you’d expect to find in its other racing games. If what you’re looking for is a racing title that says ‘never mind the bollocks, here’s the racing’, then GRID Autosport is the game for you.

Last year’s Grid 2 was different than the original racer, but even though Autosport tries to return the series to its roots, it has lost its bite and raison d’être. The multi-discipline racing remains, but it’s an unadorned shell that lacks the creativity that the previous Grids tried to inject into the genre in the first place.

It still doesn’t come close to being GRID 3, and is still only barely what fans expected of GRID 2, but assuming you’re not too bitter over the last game it is a welcome acknowledgement that Codemasters got things wrong the last time; and hopefully they’re now fully committed to making the kind of games everyone wanted in the first place.

Autosport is the game GRID 2 could’ve been, 12 months after it should’ve been. In that sense, Autosport is an incredible promise that Codemasters has the ability to deliver a thrilling next-generation racing game, to move things on from the exemplary DiRT 3. But right now, a promise is all it is.
