This was my first real racing game. I loved the replay cams ,the detail of my avatar changing gears, using pedals as you performed stunts. Those small but cool details were mind blowing for my young mind. The game also was challenging but just enough to make me want to try harder and not to give up or just breeze through everything easy peasy. Car visuals, customizing ,teams. Good times man good times......
I played this game for the first time in 2017. And even after so many years since the initial release it felt far more advanced and exciting than the majority of modern racing games. Incredible car selection, racing discipline variety, gorgeous tracks, engaging soundtrack, fabulous racing and driving physics. Team and sponsor management aspect stand out to this day. It actually makes you care how your team and your teammate perform. Sometimes you can make a mistake of hiring a driver who is faster than you, but it only makes playing more fun. I truly enjoyed this game and continue enjoying it today. And the fact that there are still mods coming out to enhance the gaming experience does say something. I understand that car licensing is a huge obstacle, but if this game ever releases on GOG (again), I'm sure all racing game enthusiasts will be running back home to buy this masterpiece.
There seems to be a double in this Dreamlist. Oh well. I supposed there's a difference, but what matter is, this is the best racing game that GOG shoulda kept since 2008. It's a shame that car license is a *beach* issue to deal with for Codemasters and also them being a slave to EA, which is just upsetting. But a man can dream and hope this game came back here.
GRID was removed due to licensing issues, which is a shame since it is the best racing game of all time. This is the most up to date version with all DLCs and updates included: archive.org/details/race-driver-grid-english-setup-1.7-2
Race Driver: GRID has probably the best single-player career among racing sim-cades. The risk-reward mechanics from buying a new car for a new tier -> selecting a race -> choosing the difficulty -> not actually destroying the car during the race and still earn some points... is nowhere to be found. Whether in race or in garage menu, the game was pulling your attention.
for a game released in 2008, it's amazing how well it stands up to current times. Good visuals coupled with a unique & fun career mode that can entice you for hours on end. I played it since it was on the Xbox 360 and have been longing for an option for the PC. The fantastic use of sponsorships, the risk/rewards of buying second hand cars, the epic 24 le mans races, have not been replicated to this degree ever since.
Truly way ahead of it's time. If put on GOG, this would be a game I would play CONSISTENTLY.

He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline.
