loved CMR 03,04...loved DiRT.....am floored by GRID.....what a game....this is so far the closest i have felt to driving in a game....sense of being there (the cockpit view) is so good....very optimized game (unlike DiRT)...
Are you serious?! Be sure to try GTR2, LFS, rFactor (with some good mods) and Richard Burns Rally. If you like the cockpit view and realism and you think GRID is the best so far, then I think you've missed/missing out on a LLOOTTTT
don't get me wrong....i've driven in cockpit views in the games you mentioned....but that 'sense' doesn't come....in here...its so ...surreal.....play it and you'll know....this thing will beat even gtr2.....and i love arcade more than simulation.....hate the europe touring tacks even in GRID....streets are where the fun is....
Should run reasonably well after some tweaking.
There's also a hack to disable all the post processing effects which should make the performance skyrocket. Although without those effects the game looks exactly like GTR 2.
