I have a G25 the steering is so vague and FF effects are non existant, nice graphics though, shame is dont use my triple crossfire x.
get around 35 fps with CC on 4x AA temperal max everything else and maxed in game, but it is smooth as butter, so not looking to much into it.

i would advise you to check out this official GRID forums tech thread regarding FF problems http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=279788 as i have a G25 and can assure you the force feedback is spot on in GRID and adds depth to the experience

Yep, i'm pleased to confirm that GRID will be available on steam

Any idea if this price will be comparible, or stupidly high like most Steam games?

How many different types of racing are actually in Grid ? From the demo theres TOCA stuff, legal street races and drifting comps, anything else ?

I've preordered it, I'm that impressed, can't wait

It seems to be based around the three areas. America with muscle racing and whatever else they do over there, Japan with drifting and modified saloon racing and Japanese GT, and then Europe with some form of signle seater, some Euro GT and LeMans racing, touring cars, and stuff.

I'm having a problem setting up my wheel. It works fine configuring the controls in-game and I set it to use my custom control set up. However, when I start a race my car just sits there and nothing I do seem to do works. My wheel works fine in Toca Race Driver 3 so I don't think it's a wheel issue.

Can anyone help?

adamsmith1903, I had this problem with my logitech pad. After cancelling the race and trying again it worked fine. It was the same in the dirt demo.

Nice to see my old friend the DBR9 in there. :cool:

twoodster · 16 May 2008 at 12:43

The track list is a little disappointing - I guess the other 30-40 tracks are just variations. A little misleading! Would have been nice to have Silverstone or Brands Hatch at least

Nürburgring GP circuit, this the big long one?

Zogger · 16 May 2008 at 13:01

no it's the length of a grand prix circuit, i.e. a couple of minutes at most. I believe they chose not to use the full thing as it's in every game out there now and not amazingly exciting seeing it over and over

edit: the gp circuit is shown on wikipedia:

Yes there was a german guy last night driving wrong way round, couldnt tell who it was though as the closing speed was fast.

Well the full game is gonna have private races etc I think. So we'll have to get some games going on here.

Thanks I will check it out, as it is now not good at all.

There is also a demolition derby mode, which believe me is a hell of a lot of fun and extremely chaotic!

Nope, that doesn't work for me

I'm happy cause I've seemed to of fixed my problem. Race Driver: GRID doesn't like my CPU overclock (e8400 @ 3.6ghz)
