5. Grid Autosport

The competition heats up…

Taking the best from both arcade-style racers and simulators, Grid Autosport aims to be the most comprehensive virtual racing experience.

In the excellent Career mode, the game lets you hone your skills by building on five racing disciplines: Touring, Open Wheel, Endurance, Street, and Tuner. When you’re confident enough to test your racing prowess against real players, you can then check out the game’s robust multiplayer mode.

Grid Autosport boasts a huge variety of cars – including several classics – each with subtle differences that ensure no car ever feels the same. Detailed damage models and good A.I. make the experience more authentic. All these factors boost Grid Autosport’s ranking on our best car racing games list.
