It's been a few years since I played GAS so my memory is rusty, but IIRC the BMW is the fastest car in its class. The rule of thumb can always be broken if your opponent is an alien though As for racing lines, it looks like you can use a bit more road width on entry to T1, otherwise everywhere else is pretty much perfect 👍

Well I didn't know which one was fastest so I took BMW and all other fast guys took it too so it's really weird that thing with that Honda dude. I wanted to take more road on that 1st corner every time but every time I do this. It's just that if you brake too late and take it narrow, you can catch little bit of sand inside the apex that will slow you down and actually make your corner faster. Idk really..I took all the upgrades off, I'll lower the car and give it one more go before event ends but I don't see doing 48.6.

edit.. this is the setup I used when I did 49,0 + 4/5 upgrades were installed (I still really don't get this things with upgrades 🤬)

edit2.. tried one more time.. seems like I didn't caried enough speed in last 2 corners.. specially the last one.. Did 49,001 and am 1st with BMW, 2 Honda's in front

edit3.. I know what happened, he used other car on T1 to bump into, it happened me accidentally and I got 2nd split 0.5-6 faster than my best so I guess I'd do 48.4 but I failed to avoid another car.. Am done with that because dont want to chase the cars to bump into them to make me faster..

edit4.. had only half an hour to play, and yes.. bumping AI was unfortunately way to go.. Finished 5th out of 145..Not bad but am little bit angry about this game

lost to 1st by 0.289 but lost at least 0.4 on final corner of my fast lap.. Now I'll have to play until I beat them in some other event

Edit1:
Managed to do only P3 out of 150. whatever, will go for P1 next time.






Edit 2:
Less laps this time, P3 out of 190..first 4 positions are interesting comparing to last time I posted

I have been enjoying this game so much on the Nintendo Switch!! Love that for the career mode I can focus on my favorite racing style.

Figured it out...the Switch edition has the Sprint maps too. It’s funny I’ve only played career, but the game has so much more than I expected.

Reading another thread about the Xbox 360 version...did the Nintendo Switch get the Sprint tracks DLC too?

Sorry for "necro"ing this thread, but
I've been enjoying Grid Legends, so I've picked up the 2014 game Grid Autosport which surprisingly is still up for sale on the Xbox store (usually licences run out for licensing cars in driving games). I already have it on PS3 disc, but not previously on Xbox.

Obviously the Xbox360 graphics have dated a lot, but the handling model and core gameplay still hold up well.

It's a 7GB install - how I miss those days, especially with the "tiny" HD on the Series S!

Even more surprising, the servers are still up, and the 5 weekly events (1 for each category) are still running. There are approx 11 times currently listed for each event. Obviously, they must be set events which continously cycle round at this stage, I am interested to find out how many weeks are in the rotation and will keep playing them as this week's were a fun mix.

I hope they keep these events up and running for a while yet.

Looking at the DLC, which ones do people recommend? It looks like the Touring Car one (with the 2 new tracks) and the Sprint one are the best ones, the others seem to just be new cars.

The Nintendo Switch version barely lasted a month before it was impossible to enter and they never bothered fixing the problem so its now locked off.

I never brought the DLC on PS3 but the Switch version comes with it. I really only used the new tracks.
