Important Health Warning: Photosensitive Seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people with no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. Symptoms can include light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, momentary loss of awareness, and loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents, watch for or ask children about these symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely to experience these seizures. The risk may be reduced by being farther from the screen; using a smaller screen; playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when drowsy or fatigued. If you or any relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

The vehicles in GRID Autosport are grouped into five disciplines: Touring Car Racing, Endurance Racing, Open-Wheel Racing, Tuner Competitions and Street Racing. Each discipline represents a unique form of racing with distinct handling characteristics.
In this mode you build your own professional racing career. How you do this is up to you. You can choose to specialise in your favourite disciplines and raise your profile in each, or conquer them all and gain access to the prestigious GRID Championships. It’s your racing career – it’s down to you to define your legacy.
U P G R ADIN G V E H I C LES Upgrades can be applied to vehicles to improve their performance. The upgrades available to you will be different depending on the vehicle you have selected, the team you are racing for (Career) or the amount of Vehicle XP you have accumulated (Online).
T U NIN G V E H I C LES Vehicles can be tuned to make them more suitable for the current track or your driving style. Vehicle Tuning presents a trade-off between two handling characteristics, so experimentation and effective analysis of the race conditions ahead is the key to getting a good balance.
DA M A G E You’ll experience realistic handling effects as a result of vehicle damage during races. In a particularly bad crash, the damage may be terminal and you’ll either have to use a Flashback, restart the race, or retire altogether. You can see how damaged your vehicle is on the Instrument Cluster. Damage can be switched from Full to Visual Only in the Difficulty options if you do not want to feel the handling effects, but this will result in reduced rewards in Career and Online.
/ / BUI L D I N G A L EGACY To raise your profile within a discipline and gain access to bigger and better competitions, you must win races, fulfil sponsor objectives and meet the expectations of your Team Manager. / / TE A M O F F E RS To start a new season, you must accept a team offer. Team offers are awarded based on your overall performance within a discipline, and the more you progress, the more the top teams will want you to race for them. Who knows, perhaps the world-conquering Ravenwest Motorsport team might come knocking on your door? The team will provide the vehicles, a teammate and access to their upgrades and tuning options - you just need to provide the results!
C U STO M C U P Here you can set up a single event or minichampionship to your own specification. Choose from any of the game modes, tracks and vehicles in the game.
S P LIT- S C R EEN
ONLINE In Online mode, you can race against your friends and other GRID Autosport players from all around the world. // GARAGE Your garage is where you store purchased vehicles. Any vehicle within the garage can be upgraded, tuned and customised individually. You have a limited amount of space for vehicles in your garage, but you can expand your garage using in-game Cash. // VEHICL E X P Every vehicle that you own has its own XP level, which is used to unlock upgrades and tuneable components that can then be purchased with in-game Cash. // CUSTO M ISING VEHICL ES You can change the appearance of your vehicles, choosing from a variety of different paint patterns, colours and finishes. You can also personalise the style of the wheels, select up to six sponsors that will appear on the vehicle, as well as set your objectives. Lastly, choose a racing number to appear on the side of your vehicle for that finishing touch. // LOAN VEHICL ES If you don’t have a suitable vehicle for a race, don’t worry – you can still race using a loan vehicle! However, loan vehicles cannot be customised and will earn smaller rewards.
// WEAR & TEAR Vehicles in GRID Autosport are prone to wear & tear as you use them. To keep a vehicle in peak condition, you must maintain and repair it regularly. Large crashes and high mileage will increase the rate at which your vehicle wears, so try to stay out of trouble to ensure you can get the most out of your car with every race. // ONLIN E PLAYLIST Online Playlists allow you to quickly and easily join in the action, offering a varied rotation of locations and vehicle classes. Each discipline is represented as a playlist, or if you like variety you can choose the ‘Everything’ playlist. // ONLIN E C USTO M C UP Want to play a particular kind of event? Specify some search criteria from the Online Custom Event menu and the game will automatically match you up with some likeminded players.
