Having launched alongside DiRT Showdown back in 2012, it’s crazy to think that RaceNet is over two years old already. New games have arrived and with each one the service continues to evolve. We’re now on the brink of releasing GRID Autosport to the world, and with it, our best RaceNet support to date.

We’ve got a host of great RaceNet features, from the familiar stat tracking to the brand new RaceNet Clubs, which is one feature we think you’re going to absolutely love. But enough talk, let’s dive into the details.

For all the details, head on over to the blog

We get behind the wheel of a Ford GT40 MK1 and head to Mont Tremblant in Canada.

This is racing at its finest, where the optimal racing line and braking points are worth valuable tenths of a second.

Unlike the Touring Car discipline where drivers aren't afraid to rub a little paint now and then, Open Wheel is all about avoiding contact as the fragile nature of the cars mean only the faintest of touches is required to put a dent in your hopes of a podium.

Yesterday you may have seen the list of tracks that we confirmed as being in the game and today it’s time to confirm the cars.

Whether you’re looking to get behind the wheel of a Honda Civic Touring Car, a Ford GT40 MK1, Mazda 787B, Lola B05/52 or a McLaren P1™ we’ve got you covered. On with the list!

When we first announced GRID Autosport we confirmed that it would be home to 22 locations with a combined route list that totals over 100. Of these 22 locations the vast majority would be circuits, including the likes of Hockenheim, Sepang, Jarama and Yas Marina.

Today we’re really excited to be confirming the full track list for you all. We’ve got some old friends making an appearance alongside a couple of fresh faces that we think will offer some great racing action, but enough talk!

Here’s the full list.

Good news everyone, GRID Autosport is now available to pre-order on Steam! It’s been a subject that many of you have talked to us about, our Twitter account has had constant requests while the topic has been popping up with great frequency over on the Steam forums.

We apologise for the delay, but it was with good reason. Our Community is extremely important to us and one thing we’ve wanted to accomplish before going live with them was to make pre-orders reward our past fans. With this in mind the GRID Autosport pre-order offering on Steam will have two parts to it.

The first part is that anyone who pre-orders the game will receive the Black Edition, at no extra cost. Included within the Black Edition is:

• Exclusive Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Coupé Black Series car
  
• Exclusive Black Edition white Ravenwest liveries for Black Edition cars
  
• Online premium sponsors
  
• 20 extra ‘Black Edition’ online livery patterns
  
• 10 new sponsors with objectives

Secondly, anyone who owns GRID 2 will receive 10% off their pre-order. You won’t have to do anything as the discount is applied automatically at the checkout.

Monster Energy Racing have a high profile presence in Street and Tuner racing, where they have invested heavily in these edgy styles of racing. If you can secure a drive with them in the first tiers of the other driving disciplines, Monster teams are well funded and well equipped, and can propel your career on towards the top ranked teams in those disciplines.

Team Monster are frequently the team pushing Ravenwest all the way to the end in Tuner and Street racing, so you’ll need to prove your talent before getting an offer from them in these racing disciplines.

The fact we announced GRID Autosport over a month ago is a bit of a scary thought but the launch being less than four weeks away is all kinds of exciting (if also a little scary).

One of our core objectives this time around was that we didn’t want to keep anybody in the dark, from day one we’ve been as open and honest as possible, while sharing as much information on the game as we possibly could, “We’re not talking about that yet” isn’t something we like to say all that often.

So while we’ve been busy talking about the game it’s possible that you may have missed something, it’s ok, we don’t hold it against you, the internet is a big place after all. If you have missed anything then you’ve come to the right place.

Here’s the recap of everything we’ve talked about so far!

GRID Autosport // The Story so Far

It’s the dead of night and the illumination of the starting straight fades into the background, track lighting is at a minimum and the headlights from your competitors shine into the night. The brake lights in front appear, a set of red eyes staring your headlights down. Then they vanish. The car in front runs wide and finds itself in the gravel runoff, you’re in first place and now you’re all alone.

You’ll see Team KICKER place strongly in the more traditional Motorsports of Touring, Endurance and Open Wheel disciplines. They are the team most likely to give Ravenwest a run for their money in these styles of racing, and you’ll need a proven record of success before they’ll make you an offer. If you’re fortunate enough to race for them, they come with great tuning and upgrade options on their vehicles, and can really give you the platform for driver and team standings success.

The Blog has all the info on the team.
