Any Racing Fans?

V8's do sound nice but i love a bridge ported rotary

yo jack did you have any problem with you preorder code for grid 2 btw? i got a printed preorder cose but cant enter it in to my 360 it 19 digets long and is layed out like this > xxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx but i cant find where to enter it in game

Hey Brad, sorry but no I don't use X360 so I have no idea man, my PS3 code worked just fine for my stuff.

Are ps3 codes 19 digest long? Cause i think someone made a mistake (i beleave the code is for brands hatch)

i think they are 16, 4 sets of 4. Hope you enjoy the game, I love it. Been dustin' people online with my R34GT-R and my Charger. the Caterham Sp300 is pretty freakin' sweet to.

Before I get onto what I need to say... It has come to my attention that this thread has sense fallen into the shadows of the forum. Under certain circumstances it is best that this thread rise from the shadows, Like a glorious phoenix rising from the gray ashes! Many would doubt the usefulness of a Racing thread, But did I? Never! My car is one with my body, For I am the magnificent Bear! People must enjoy this thread, It must thrive!!

Bumping this, The Crew stuff is coming up soon so look forward to that guys!

lmao, I gotta say, some people on GRID 2 crack me up.. So I was playing last night and only 2 of us finished the race, out of 12.. Me, and the guy in first. I got second. The guy i was going up against was pretty damn good, but his car was a faster car stat wise anyway. We raced for 4 laps, on a fairly small track. We fought through the pack of idiots that always crash into the wall and each other, without scratching our cars even once. I put as much pressure on him as i could without crashing him, I wont play dirty in a real race. I couldn't get him to make a mistake however, He stayed vigilante!

Well we finally passed the finish line, about 1/2 a second between each other, he sends me a message "Damn good race!" and a friend request. All other racers in that particular race? Yea they ALL DNF *Did Not Finish* because they were all more than 30 seconds behind us, when the first person finishes the race, it starts a timer for 30 seconds to give you time to finish hopefully. That means me and this other guy, who was my level, finished more then 30 seconds against 3 30's and about 2 others that were higher levels then us, on one of the most simple tracks in the game. They just couldn't touch our pace, at all!

This is one of the thigns that makes me love GRID 2 so much, that was an epic race through and through!

The new installment has been in the works for 4 years, and the wait looks worth it. I'll post a video soon enough, its a 40 min livery customization and 2 races. To those though that enjoy racing games, anyone down for getting this with me on PS3? It would be nice to school all of you in a racing game. ;], its funny though, my last racing game was on my birthday 3 years ago, and that was Motorstorm Pacific Rift. I've been looking for one that looked good to me, NFS never really caught my attention save for Underground 1/2.

They never had that "feeling" of the car. The shift in weight, the understeer/oversteer. Most cars handled the same. GRID 2 is solving that however and checking it out killed any doubt in my mind, this is the racing game I have been waiting for! The online is very interesting to me as well, the whole idea of challenging other drivers to a face-off *1v1* seems sweet. The game will feature races like Drift, Circuit, Elimination, and others. Courses include street, road and circuit tracks.

Also featured that strikes my fancy is the LiveRoute system, which changes the track, in-game, on the fly. Seems like a nice way to mess with people and make it all about reaction time. The videos are what get me though, the game has this awesome way that it handles cars. It really gave the impression *not having played it* that it handles as close as you can get to a real body-weight car, without the simulation feel.

What first gave it away for me was watching a gameplay video, and noticing the driver was counter-steering. Something you done usually have to do in a corner in racing games. Either way this game looks fun, so if your a racing fan, and on PS3, add me up.

P.S. Another cool feature is to upload your best races to youtube, love that.. ;]

--EDIT: Couldn't find that video on utoob, here is another though!

Grid 2 is okay but it's a bit to steep for me. i prefer Forza Horizon much easier for me to drive in.

i second the vote for Forza 4. not horizon.
