Weird, because that's what I perceive as one of Grid's greatest weakness. You progress and unlock things too slowly and you never know how far you're even into the game. If I recall correctly I played it for a good ten hours, I think I was still on my second car and I had no idea whether I was 10%, 20% or 50% done with the game. It just started to feel neverending and at that point I threw the towel.

One of the most memorable aspects of Grid is the AI drivers: many of them are real life racers, and from my experience after several playthroughs, some of them have their own characteristics. Pedro Lamy is the second fastest driver at Le Mans but will not hesitate to PIT manoeuvre you whenever you're at his proximity, while Tom Kristensen is like a squeaky clean version of Ravenwest guys. Shinji Nakano is a speeding bullet that will warp past you on straights but will fold once he sees a corner sharper than 45° (pretty much in line with how he drove in F1 keklmao) Also the fact that it features a damage model that RIVALS Burnout and Flatout series WHILE featuring real licensed cars will never cease to amaze me. Probably the reason why today's damage physics is nerfed so much.

Besides the actual racing, I mostly miss the team management aspect to Grid. In the menu's I felt like the team manager and in the actual races, I felt like the driver. In the beginning, you basically raced for other teams and eventually saving enough cash to start your own. Hiring and firing drivers, designing the liveries, choosing what sponsors to plaster on said livery and the gradual expansion of your paddock was so awesome to see.

There’s another thing you should have mentioned that NO OTHER GAMES DARE TO TACKLE. Driver errors. Basically an RnG mechanic where some of the Ai can and will make a mistake causing either a spin out or a write off and of course your race engineer will call out the one who did it, and to make it even more unique, Ravenwest are the only drivers that are not coded to make mistakes to further emphasise their driving capabilities as the best of the best, also another mid game occurrence that is so rare that you’re better off finding a skinwalker AND a CCXR trevita COMBINED, some of the racers ahead of you will have TIRE BLOWOUTS causing them to either spin out, slow down dramatically or even crazier perform the Flying Mercedes( if you know you know)I’ve only seen these blowouts happen THRICE within my entire 8 YEARS of playing this game. So yes Grid is the only game that I’ve played that showcased the brutality of racing and reminding us that this is no gentlemen sport, hell it’s unfathomable that this game forces me to lock in on EVERY. SINGLE. RACE( except for drift) Not even rocket league or any online competitive esports game had me sweating like Grid did.

Just found your channel as this video was recommended to me. As GRID is definitely one of my favorite racing games and I would argue the best track racer to date (still think that no procade racing game matches this game's AI) I clicked it immediately. While I agree on most points with you, I actually think that disabling the driving assists improved the game for me, and that was most noticeable on the Drift events. As you said, they're extremely easy - howeverr disable the assists and you have to micromanage your inputs as to not spin out or smash into the nearest wall.(At least if my memory is not failing me, last played the game around 5 years ago, 3rd or 4th playthrough since release).

The point about TCS and Stability assist seem on point. My ego refuses me to enable any assists, wanting to just 'git gud'. But unlike the Forza Horizon games for an example, I just simply suck at GRID 1 with assists off. The cars seem highly unpredictable if you drive them hard. Even with smooth inputs, you don't ever feel very confident taking corners, let alone if you're trying to do a successful divebomb. I can't even shift gears manually without somehow straining the engine by the final lap, haha The delicate physicality of automobiles is on full display. So when you mention the game acknowledging that motorsport is inevitably a contact sport at times, that really spoke to my experience of how thin the line is between race ending crash and podium finish. And so this game sees itself uninstalled and reinstalled every once in a while. I love the thrill of winning or even at least meeting sponsor requirements. But maybe next time I'll go with assists on and actually enjoy the game. Great video!

I just "beat" this game yesterday after having owned it for years now. It was an amazing drive, let me tell ya. My favorite aspect is that it's one of the few game series with rigidbody physics + modular chipping based damage model with licensed cars. The only thing that gets on my nerves is that high downforce & power cars have incredibly overpowered brakes, and you better believe the NPC cars WILL take advantage of that. From our perspective it almost looks like they just rocket around corners like if inertia was suddenly tossed out the window for them. Luckily there is always a chance the AI will make a mistake and spin out or crash. That is something I've only seen consistently happen across Codemasters games.

The only latest sim-cade that I can think of that has this kind of damage model is EA WRC. The latest sim racing title that has this kind of damage model is Automobilista 2 and iRacing. In this game's era, Need for Speed Shift also has the same level of damage model, but a lot of people misunderstood that game during that era, sadly.

what i really like about this game's team aspect is the fact that ai teammates have actual characters and basically it can affect how you immerse into your career. story of mine is about a halfway into career i hired Tom Rockford as my teammate and basically it was a blast, i really liked his aggressive overtaking making enough gaps for me and his laid back personality too. even with some few dialogues and just the driving itself he really did feel like a teammate until we got into our first Le Mans GTE event, where both of us being in the lead eventually turned into a fiercer battle and around the third from the last corner he lost control and crashed into my car ran out of rewind(i was playing on extreme difficulty), resulting ruining my very first GTE experience in Grid after that i fired him out of spite and basically the rest of the career was one big rivalry war. when Tom was in the grid i focused the utmost of my pressure onto him and he did it back, and it just went on and on till i beat Ravenwest. and i'm still amazed how this whole thing went completely unscripted and unprompted, really turning my career experience in Grid as my OWN career experience. man i love this game

The cars feel fluid and lively, with amazing handling characteristics, the career feels really good with great variety despite the limited car and track roster, the physics are absurd in the best possible way, and the game's general atmosphere is just great. Grid 1 is amazing and I'm glad I get the chance to play it.

If the ai being too easy a lot of the time and the car variety being a little small is an issue for you, I'd suggest Grid Xtra. It adds the dlc cars along with some lost cars that bump the roster to over 60, adds Bathurst, changes the career progression by making slower and changing entire events, and makes the ai genuinely competitive. It even changes to the car sounds and makes them a lot better.

One of my favorite games period, alongside another Codemasters gem..DiRT 2 From the moment i was first introduced to them yeeeeeeears ago to this day, i always find myself returning to both. they're just that good and there's nothing like them nowadays (and i don't think there will ever be)

Loved this game! Don’t understand why modern racers can’t come close to the vibes, variety and overall sense of progression throughout the campaign. That “24 hours of Le Mans” voiceover is permanently burned into my brain.

GRID + Good steering wheel + Supra MK4 = drift until your arms fall off. I love this game 😁

Grid is what I would say the perfect balance between sim and arcade racing. The driving physics is based of real physics, where you have to actually brake or follow the racing line, but forgiving enough that you don't lose all control all the time. The car mechanical physics is just enough where you need to care about tuning suspension, differential lock to get the most out of the car, but not too complicated like in project cars or assetto corsa. A huge plus is the good support for force feedback wheel, so you can actually feel like driving a car, just that the car is forgiving

I don't remember drift ever being easy, opponents regularly scored a million points and more, I was struggling but still enjoying drifting a lot.

I spent many hours in GRID, particularly on the Le Mans track. Spa and Long Beach as well. I have completed this campaign at least 3 times, most recently around 2021 (It was fun)

i was craaazy about the drift in this game. exactly beacuse the ai just was so easy and the driving was so amazing. kept on pushing higher and higher scores just because it was sooooo good. and i loved the fact that ai would just not bother and not preassure me. i coudl just go and bammm have my fun. until today GRID is one of the top 3 best racing games that i have ever played and when i think i wanna play a good racing game.. this game is always in the back of my mind. i have very fond memories with this game and it will always be in my head and brings me a smile to see this video. so many memories of GRID.

Thinking of Race Driver GRID will always remind me that they have licenses to both Le Mans Series (now known as European Le Mans Series) and 24 Hours of Le Mans for that time, perhaps not all entries from the series/race but the "key" entries. It's probably the only game where you can win as a JLOC Lamborghini, well-known for blowing up after just 2 laps of running La Sarthe. Speaking of that, a Q&A question from me: Which inclusion of a particular racing series/a particular season of a racing series (or more) on a racing game that interests you? Whether they're in their own dedicated game (i.e., GTR2, Test Drive Le Mans, LM Ultimate) or included in a racing game as an addition (i.e., Race Driver GRID with LMS/Le Mans content) Btw congrats on the 40k sub!

I always come back to Grid. It nailed the physics of a game which plays best on controller. That, and it was the first real "next gen" road racing game of the time. Forza wasn't quite there, and GT5 was years away. The vibe is unmatched.

I totally forgot they used the remix of No One Knows for the opening of the game. Haven’t touched Grid in a minute but I absolutely agree, there isn’t a more perfect opening for a racing game
