how do i do time trials in GRID? Ie just practice laps on my own. I can't seem to see any option, though i remember doing it in the demo...

go to view cars then select the car and test drive

Seems a lot of fun so far, done 5-6 races in career and having fun

Handling is taking some getting used to, but getting there

sorry for being completely dim, but i still can't figure out how to do this...

Do i go to RACE DAY...and then what??

Played the demo, didn't like it. Muscle cars okish. There's no feeling of a car underneath you. if you want to drive cars play forza2.

i may get grid preowned in a year or so when it is a tenner but for now theres better driving games to be had.

no in grid world go to my team then view cars then you select the car and can test drive which is basically the time trial you have to own the cars to time trial with it though sadly

Still loving this game, but what is really starting to grind my gears is starting from the back ALL the time. Why can't I qualify or something? The CPU care take the **** with their barging and crashing into me whilst im weaving through the pack. Be nice to be able to start from the front sometimes.

Got this today and it's bloody excellent!

Shame my console is on it's last legs. Finally gave in and requested a repair from MS

Not going to bother waiting for my RROD.

is this game better on 360 or pc?

Lightnix · 8 Jun 2008 at 22:29

Is it just me, or does this game not take gamepads? Sorry, I find racing games really frustrating with a keyboard.

So I'd say 360.

That said the handling seems to be a bit of a pain, too. And the other cars seem to drive like grannies around corners. Mind you I've only played the demo, and some say it 'grows on you'.
