Codemasters has officially revealed the next part in the GRID series, called GRID: Autosport. According to the Codies, GRID Autosport aims to move the series back in line as a more authentic racing game. The game has been improved, will feature a better handling system, and will sport two cockpit views.
“For GRID Autosport we’ve gone back to a more authentic handling style. It’s definitely not a full simulation – we want it to be authentic, not clinical – but it’s more towards that end of the spectrum than before. If anything, we believe the handling is actually one or two steps further towards simulation than Race Driver: GRID, to give you an idea.“
As noted, the single player career in GRID Autosport will allow you to ‘become a professional racing driver and as you make progress you’ll be able to join and switch teams, fulfil sponsor demands and beat rivals.’
In GRID: Autosport, players can use a teammate to defend them or attack a car ahead. And as you’d expect, the Multiplayer mode of GRID: Autosport will be powered by RaceNet.
GRID: Autosport is currently scheduled for a June 27th release on PC, X360 and PS3.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
