Personally won't be rushing to buy that one. Wasn't a fan of the last Grid. Though after seeing your post I may dig it out and try to like it!!

The last Grid, yeah I never cared for. The one I remember liking was on PS3. I may not like that now, now that my racing has been refined. I'll still give this new one a go as new racing games are few and far between. This one appears to be trying to rebuild and come out with a good one this time. Seems to have quite a large career mode as well.
Side note about the grid I played on PS3. Way back when it came out I was noticing a weird pattern in the sky. So the forum I was on. (may have been GTPlanet) one of the Devs was quite active. So being the fool I was I made a post about how much I was loving the game (was very polite and complimentary. Like have you ever seen me be rude to anyone here?) but asked about the pattern I was seeing in the sky. I didn't know what it was. I was new to gaming at that point. PS3 was the 1'st console I bought since the original Playstation *turned out to be color banding*
This arrogant Dev, totally ignoring the compliments I had made about the game replied with a snarky "wow, he is playing on a ps3 and is complaining about color banding"
Man if I could have that day back. I would correct his arrogant ass in no uncertain terms at the risk of being banned. My days of tolerating arrogant people and or game devs are long over lol.

Easy Trial this week, 10 points first time out. Seasonal Event Jag in the bag, just 2 cars to go to complete collection!! Interesting to see what the next Series holds in store and desperate for the dlc to drop.

I'll be missing out this week. Was feeling kind of crappy on and off yesterday. Woke up this morning with a 103.8 fever. Had since dropped to 101 but I feel like I've been through the wringer. only symptoms I have so far. No way to know if it's covid as our government has basically scrapped all testing or made it only for select few. a##!0#l premier is up for re election so he is trying to apply fuzzy math to get the numbers down and open things up before the election
Spending my day in bed.

Had something happen to me on this weeks trial that I've not had happen before, and not in a good way. LOL!
-So I looked at what was allowed, and tuned a car for it. -Entered, and went to the pick car screen, and I couldn't find the one I had tuned for it! Looked around for the entire time, and as time was running out, it picked whatever I was on. Obviously, not a car I wanted, and wasn't set up at all for that race. -So the race starts, and I'm easily in last. All of the other players, quit. mid race, during the first race. ALL of them. They didn't even wait for the race to end, and some of them were doing quite well. I was left to finish the race by myself, so then I ran the next one by myself too, just to see what the second race would be. -So I try it again. Still could not find the car I tuned, but this time I at least didn't panic, and picked one that I knew I had tuned before, that I could drive. - Started the race. Some moron teammate puts me into the wall, putting me in last! I mean, he intentionally put me into a hard wall that stopped progress. Bugs the daylights out of me when people don't understand this is a team effort. - Race goes on, I finish last, but this time everyone else stays in, and finishes high enough to get us the first race victory. - Second race, I manage to get a clean start, and go on to finish ahead of all the team except one, and we win the event.
Got all my 25 pt cars, and one 45 pt one, I'm not pushing it, just enjoying the game. Finished up the night doing some of the story stuff, still got a lot of them out there!

New Series today. Looks like 4 new cars will be available (plus the car pass ones). Must admit my interest is waning a little. Need the dlc to drop.
In other news I've finally invested in Track IR (arriving tomorrow). Tried a few of the cheaper options with varying degrees of success. So I think rather more of my time will be spent in the air and perhaps on the track and also ETS/ATS where I may be able to stop pulling out of junctions in front of traffic.
Onward!!!

Did the minimum I needed to this week. One new car. Just 25 points to get it so knocked out a few events pretty quickly to snatch it. Didn’t bother with The Trial. Onto next week!
The TrackIR is a fantastic bit of kit. Fair bit of fiddling with the software to get it right as I sit a distance away from my monitor (40” TV). So many games to have a go at with it I fear my pixel golf will suffer with lack of play time.
Too many toys, not enough hours in the day!!

Latest ride. Yep, FH5 has been relegated to Thursday only until the DLC appears so it's back in the air messing around with TrackIR... Anyone heard any DLC whispers?
