GRID – Sprints with Streets & B’s

For our first official GRID Autosport event, we thought we’d try out some slightly different cars and tracks. So we’re going to do 3 sprint mini-series:

  1. Street cars at street circuits: there’s 6 street circuits in the game, most of which we’ve hardly driven, so let’s do some short races in a variety of road-going cars there.
  2. Formula B @ F1 circuits: these open-wheel cars are a bit trickier to handle than the Formula C. Let’s try them out at some F1 tracks, past and present.
  3. Category B @ Touring circuits: again, the B cars offer a bit more power and challenge than our usual Category C tourers. We’ll do some races at the shorter circuits more designed for touring car racing.

Here’s the plan:

Round 1: Street Cars, Coupe

  • Chicago – Wabash Run – 4 laps
  • Dubai – Nakheel Vista – 4 laps
  • Barcelona – Marine Gate – 3 laps
  • Paris – Circuit de la Seine – 3 laps
  • Washington – Sprint Circuit B – 3 laps
  • San Francisco – GP – 2 laps

Round 2: Open Wheel, Formula B

  • Red Bull Ring – GP – 4 laps
  • Sepang – GP – 3 laps
  • Yas Marina – GP – 3 laps
  • Istanbul – GP – 3 laps
  • Spa – GP – 3 laps

Round 3: Touring, Category B

  • Brands Hatch – GP – 4 laps
  • Mont-Tremblant – GP – 3 laps
  • Autosport Raceway – Infield – 3 laps
  • Indianapolis – GP – 3 laps
  • Hockenheim – GP – 3 laps

Have fun everyone :)

GRID Autosport

Howdy!

It should be obvious that many of us are enjoying a break from F1 with GRID Autosport at the moment – about 10 of our members are already playing.

But for those of you not living on planet Flag-to-Flag, it really is a good game and certainly one worth buying. There’s a great variety of cars and tracks: over 20 circuits, with a mixture of some familiar from F1 and other new locations, and a massive selection of cars, with lots of open wheel, touring, endurance and road cars to try. Currently our favourite cars are the Formula C and the Category C touring cars – the slower vehicles make for closer races – and oval racing is also a fun discipline.

At the moment we’re having some fun random races in the evenings, but we’re also planning some proper organised events in the near future. So we’d like to know what sorts of cars and tracks you like most, as well any suggestions regarding event/league formats. Leave a comment if you have any thoughts :)
