The best racer on the GRID

Games by British developer Codemasters have long been the benchmark against which to measure other racing titles.

GRID Ultimate is the 2014 sequel to GRID Autosport, which itself was a slight overhaul of GRID 2. This game caused unexpected controversy by removing the mysteriously popular sight in the cockpit, a move some purists have taken for treason all that liked.

The other allegation raised at Autosport is the relative lack of content, and GRID does little to distract this particular criticism. In addition to the 100+ single player race events in 22 locations, there are only online multiplayer games and free spins where you can set up a single event.

You will also find that team management is minimized. You can replace teammates on an ever-changing team, with everyone rated for loyalty, skill, attack, and defense.

It is so good that the race is as perfect as you can imagine with current technology. As always, it is Codemasters' spectacularly realistic and consistent manipulation model that really sells.

If you follow a path that slyly moves between arcade feel and fanatical realism, you can adapt more to track conditions and your driving style by tweaking your car before racing.

is no shortage of variety. Vehicle types range from US production cars and trucks. USA Even passenger cars.

Fortunately, GRID Ultimate retains the serial rewind function, which you can use up to five times per hub. Here we show you how to erase your most outrageous mistakes by reversing the time for a few seconds and trying again.
