Grid
About the Game
The heart of GRID is the career-mode called GRID World. Divided into the three regions USA, Europe and Japan, players has to earn money and prestige points to move up into a higher license category which then gives him access to more and harder racing events. These events are divided into categories like normal races, Drift-events, Destruction Derbies and even the famous 24 hours race in Le Mans. But of course not every car is suitable for every event so there are several different series to chose from.
Gameplay & Core Systems
So while players drives a tuned car for the Drift- or Racing-events in Japan, muscle cars await him in for the Destruction Derbies in the USA or Formel 3000 racers in Europe. Of course players needs to buy the suitable car first before he can enter a tournament. To earn the money to buy a car for a event, players can complete so-called Driver Offers. These are offers by other racing teams to take part in an event and see it through. But there are also bonus objectives like "Finish before Team Top Secret" which grant players additional cash if he successfully completes them.
