I'll second that
! GRID is my favourite racing game franchise because:
- It offers simple intuitive tuning options to tweak the car to maximize performance for every different track circuit. Not complex tuning stuff like found in Project Cars, Asseto Corsa or even Forza.
- The engine sounds are LOUD and GIRD has the best gear change sound of all the racing games I've played
- Graphics is beautiful and the replay camera angle in TV Director mode is the best.
- The latest GRID (2019) game is value for money because there are tons of events to complete, even more so if you bought the Ultimate version or Season Pass.
I'm a loyal buyer of every GRID game. I got a good deal and bought for the digital Ultimate version for $8.
You can also keep a lookout for Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown to be released next year.
$8 is a dam good deal, I got the digital Ult edition at $12. Agree, alot of events, graphics are good, cars are well modelled and the sfx are top notch. Now that you mention, yah, noticed the gear change sound.. haha
I also have Grid on Switch and I love it. That was what made me buy Grid on xbox.
I recently bought Project Cars 3... the handling is a bit floaty, and very easy to spin out (could also be my lack of skill).
Another racing game i like is Gravel.
Assetto Corsa Competizione seems highly regarded. I read there is going to be a version optimised for X|S early next year. This is on my wishlist.
