As the title explains, we have a quality competition for you guys which we've had prizes given to us from Codemasters for - so a big thankyou for that!

GRID2 is the latest title from Codemasters, and you'll already need it to enter the competition. The competition starts now, and will end on Friday 21st June 2013.

How to enter?
Check out my graphic below for more information on how to enter.

Entries must be posted here on the Forums in this thread. If you haven't already bought the game, you can purchase it here with us or get it FREE with selected 4th Generation Intel products http://bit.ly/13N3y91 ! If you can't make it into the top3, we would still like to see the best you could achieve!



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**IMPORTANT** Recording / Proof :

2 Items of proof will be needed for the competition

1) Steam Screenshot of the final leaderboard. Steam Screenshots MUST be named including "Overclockers UK Grid 2 Competition" Remeber set to public. See the example below for this.
2) Video record of the lap in Grid 2 and uploaded to YouTube. Unfortunately you can only record 31 seconds in the game's own YouTube recorder, so you'll need to record 2 parts to the video. (only fastest lap needed, not the whole 3 laps). You may use other screen recording software. You must put "Overclockers UK Grid 2 Competition" and "part 1 / part 2" in the YouTube title for verification
2a.) You'll need to make sure you register a Racenet account and link your YouTube (using the gear cog icon in the top right) https://racenet.codemasters.com/ (Only if you are using the in game recorder)

dumb question, how do you find time attack mode?

is it online or through wsr? seems to be on both, the grid 2 time attack mode is a bit dumb, no ghost laps, other cars on circuit at the same time.

All these have been raised on the grid 2 forums though, its a bit half thought out.

Also the nsx-r , can it be modified or not?

WSR, not online. You can find Time Attack by going to Custom Events (second option after career), change event type from "Race" to "Time Attack" and selecting Tier 3 for the car. As far as i'm aware all cars are stock and can't be modified - or I haven't gotten to that option. But car's must be stock.

Just got that. The NSX is a horrible handling car. Have a feeling some people may be able to get low 35's. What about rules of a complete clean lap, 4 wheels off the track means it doesn't count, maybe?

Some areas of the track you can take advantage of going off track and not get a penalty for it.

Not recorded as i want to see what other people are getting first.

Good time, we need to video recording - if you have this it will currently place you first. Also screenshots must be linked to your steam page with the screenshot and the description. If someone does beat the time, you can retry :)
 
DannyCHEST said:
I'm confused as to how to record a whole lap. I get you have to do it in two parts but how.. Just got a 36.45 time and can only upload half the lap. Am I expect to pause it after every 30 seconds and upload it?

Edit: I didn't think about doing it after the whole round, my bad!
Click to expand...

Yeah with the in-game recorder you set markers with F7/F8 from the start of the good lap and 30seconds later upload. After that has done, the other part of the lap (unless you do it under 30 seconds) :D
 
Rybo89 said:
O no, that wasn't a proper attempt. I just had a quick go to see whats what.

What do you think about the rule of 4 wheels off track = no go?
Click to expand...

I'll be judging videos, if a big amount of foul play is in order then I will be disqualifying. Obviously the game has it's own corner cutter detector, but people may find glitchy corners, generally it should all be ok but I suggest not to have 4 wheels off.
 
Remember guys, we need a video + screenshot in steam for valid entries. You can enter as many times as you like beating scores.

Valkia, I did a 39.295 run but I had that glitch with steam where the overlay doesn't work and it wouldn't allow me to take a screenshot through steam, am I not allowed to enter this time?
Click to expand...

Hi mate, to keep things fair if I allow this entry for you, i'd have to accept others with the same issue and I don't want to let the structure slip. So I won't be able to accept it this time bud :(

Keep trying! Rankings going up shortly.

I look forward to more stuff like this, I love codies games, started with TOCA 1, and with just the Dirt 1-3 and GRID 1&2 I've clocked 220+ hours between them on PC and 360.

Time attacks are just a load of fun for me because it pushes you more so then just racing the guy next to you, that is all about being clean and knowing when to hold back, this is all guns go.

Well codemasters are watching, the more love we show them - the more they will give us for the future :)

So how about us on the consoles get some competitions, would love to get in on the action!

This might be a possibility for the future. As you know, predominantly we are PC due to the company, but I want to make sure everyone has a turn. It would just be a bit harder to verify as there isn't a "steam screenshot" option.
