GameSpy writes: "The TOCA Race Driver and Colin McRea series of racing games have always relied on hardcore mechanics as the backbone of their decidedly simulation-y feel, so it's not surprising that Grid carries on the spirit of their white-knuckle, "nothing less than a perfect lap will do" approach. Yet, the introductory video shows off a shift in setting that would appear more at home in an arcade-style racer such as EA's Need for Speed or Namco's Ridge Racer series. So, while the racing locales and the events that you participate in may be a little more geared towards "The Fast and the Furious," the no-nonsense physics (including real-time damage models that have an impact on vehicle performance and handling) remain as stalwart reminders that racing is an actual sport in which you don't really want to ram into your fellow racecar drivers."
Spiffy:
-Devastatingly realistic graphics
-Gorgeous track locales
-Hardcore handling
Iffy:
-Unforgiving racing mechanics
-Real-time damage models a little too realistic for comfort

The Humble Codemasters Racing ReBundle 2020 just launched today. It features games like F1 2019, Dirt Rally 2.0, GRID, and more.
This month’s Humble Choice features twelve games. The headliners for June are GRID Ultimate Edition, Supraland, and Hellblade Senua’s Sacrifice. New games are added to Humble Choice on the first Friday of every month.
Was surprised to see Hellblade again, they gave it away last year with Humble Monthly
Too realistic real-time damage, and you still complain? That's really pushiing the satisfaction factor.
Still have to try and see the new "ego" damage system once the game comes-out but am really amazed by the choice of cars and if only 6 tracks available.
Amazing line-up indeed. Can't wait to get the PS3 version.
