I've played GRID quite a lot over the years, but I've never actually completed it. Cheers to me!
Race Driver: Grid is arguably Codemasters's best game, and a benchmark for what makes a great racing game. From a stylized aesthetic, to a fleshed out career mode, to driving physics that aren't too arcadey or too sim-like, this game delivers a satisfying experience from start to finish.
There are multiple event types (in addition to regular circuit racing, you have drift events, touge, and endurance racing), you can hire a teammate, apply some sponsorships which award money for finishing above a certain position, and customize your racing team's name, colours, and branding.
Your main objective, much like other racing games, is to climb the ladders in three different regions of the world, eventually coalescing into a global championship. Your rival team is Ravenwest, and they are genuinely tough to compete against.
The game does require a few tweaks to work properly on PC, and apparently wheel support is hit or miss (I played on a standard controller), so it's not a perfect game on a technical level. But if you can work around it, Race Driver: Grid is absolutely worth experiencing.
