'GRID Autosport' announced as 'authentic race experience'

From open-wheeled speed machines to rally tours and street races, the studio behind "GRID Autosport" wants the June release to be "authentic, not clinical."

From open-wheeled speed machines to rally tours and street races, the studio behind 'GRID Autosport' wants the June release to be 'authentic, not clinical.'

The change in emphasis comes from building on fan feedback gained after 2013 release 'GRID 2' and means that players can expect something a little closer to true simulation driving across five distinct disciplines: street racing, endurance, open-wheeled, touring and drift.

Confirmed circuits include Hockenheim, Sepang, San Francisco, Jarama and Yas Marina, while the game is to spread across 22 locations and over 100 courses; singleplayer, multiplayer, teammate tactics and car tuning options come as standard.

'GRID Autosport' is to launch the week of June 24 on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 4.
