Grid (video game)

The Grid World Series is a highly competitive racing event that races on various tracks on various continents around the globe. It features race types including Race and Time Attack. Winning races against drivers in established teams in the entire disciplines gains more money for the series, and the achievement of which earns extra experience points (XP) for the players besides those received for their results. Once completed, the player is welcomed to the Grid World Series, and must either complete the main objective when the players entered an event, or earn a gold, silver or bronze medal to earn money, and unlock player's teammates, banner and panel images, as well as custom liveries and accolades.

One of the key mechanics is the Nemesis System where AI drivers will become aggressive towards the player if they hit them too hard or too often, as part of this there are 400 unique AI drivers, each with their own racing style.[2] Fernando Alonso appears in this game as a "Racing Consultant", with the player facing him in the single-player campaign's final event, as well as a spotter.[3]

The cars in the disciplines of the game are further divided into tiers and classes of various strength. Some of the highlights of the vehicles on offer are the contemporary TCR (TC-2), Supercars (Super Tourers) and Group 5 cars (TC-1 Specials) of the Touring discipline, as well as the American modified muscle cars, fictional Dumont Type 37 and a customized Oval Stock Jupiter San Marino representing the Stock discipline, the GT4, GTE and DPi cars of the GT discipline, JDM modified tuning and World Time Attack cars representing the Tuner discipline, and the classic cars from the 1960s until 2000s representing the Invitational discipline. This is the first in the series not to feature Mercedes-Benz & McLaren cars, except the McLaren M8D.

In the case of the tracks, the main emphasis is on real-world permanent circuits which make up the majority of the courses in the game. These range from classics, such as Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Indianapolis, to more modern facilities, like the Sydney Motorsport Park, Sepang and Zhejiang International Circuit. City locations with fictionally lined, but mostly real-world streets of San Francisco, Shanghai, Barcelona, Havana, and the fictional point-to-point tracks in authentic settings complete the picture (Okutama only), and — as DLCs — including the Red Bull Ring, Paris and Suzuka International Racing Course.
