Default Re: Grid - the most difficult racing game

NFS is a joke. You need to forget everything you learnt in NFS if you want to do well in Grid.
- When you enter a corner, slow down, cut the apex of the corner and speed up as you exit. This is not NFS where you just slam into the wall with no consequences.
- Try not to damage your car. It really affects the handling.
- Play with the camera zoomed out as much as possible. It gives you the best view of the turn coming up ahead. The in-car view makes things really difficult.
- Keep one eye on the minimap. You need to know whether the next corner is a right or left so you take the inside line on the approach.
- When you use the flashbacks make sure you resume on a straight and not a turn. If you resume from a turn you are already going quite fast the moment the game resumes and you will crash again.
- Practice. It's a lot harder than NFS but a lot more satisfying when you win.
