TORA visits Codemasters!

Next Wednesday, I'll be taking a trip to Codemasters HQ to talk about and try out the upcoming game, GRID Autosport.

I'll be taking some photos, asking questions, etc etc, and I'll post my findings here

If you guys have any questions you'd like me to ask, regarding the game, Codemasters, or anything else (on topic!), post it below and I'll be sure to ask!

Ask about the tracks they'll include plus cars

Ask about the club features that they have introduced, and let us know how the car drives.

Can we fully paint? How does it handle? How many cars per online lobby? All I care about is if it can be a suitable replacement for FM4.

My copy is already reserved.

when will they make a good game

Have fun folks! I mind the guys over at UKOG got a chance to do a similar test with DIRT, and the original GRID, way back when. They had a great time looking around the studios.

What should we expect to see from the use of the pitlanes on most of the real circuits? in the first GRID They were blocked, and saved all the attention to racing wheel to wheel for 3-5 laps each time, but with what I can see, from the new photographs and trailers, to be top-line sportscars and an "Endurance" format in one corner of the game, will that pitlane be opened to allow for pitstops? It is something that, I think, should be in the game as it is an essential part of endurance racing.

What about the cockpit view?
Since there I saw some low quality in game screenshots of cockpits.

And can you get more info on the HQ/HD pack for PC?

And have fun there!

Will there be Australian tracks not just Bathurst and more Australian cars

What handicapping options will be available?
Power in 1% increments? Ballast weight perhaps?

interesting to see if they have success ballast, race weekends and the ability to reverse the top 10 say

Just tell them to get it right. Grid 2 was a huge let down after the greatness of the original grid, and grid itself was a letdown compared to the previous racing titles but out.

Is organized racing possible?
Will Pit-Stops ever be introduced?

Repost... sorry.

Will there be classic racers in the game?

Will they strip out the gash faux tracks and include more real life ones?

Will they recreate more real world series and strip out some of the crap ones?

Will there be clan / club feature and how detailed will it be?

I can tell you now:
Yes
Yes
Yes (not sure on the second bit)

Awesome. I shall think of more

Last chance to get your questions in for tomorrow!

Australians make cars lol...im kidding mate...

seriously ask them are they gunn go back the there toca roots i dont think any game they bring out will compare to toca...in my opinion

Ask them if they will fix the way the cars handle.  Instead of sliding through the corners I would like for them to stick to the road.

Also ask them if it is easier to spin out/Dump AI Drivers who piss you off
