Striking a wall at pace would tear a wheel off. If a single one of these incidents occurred in F1 2021, it would be the end of your race. You’re not punished for mistakes the way you would be in a hard simulation. The inference is clear: GRID Legends doesn’t take things too seriously, and neither should you.

They’ll just turn in on you like you aren’t even there. If you’re sending it up the inside through a turn, and have the right to your line through that turn, the AI won’t back out. The AI aren’t exactly masters of racecraft either.

Dive bombing into a corner and striking an opponent already turning in, or taking a suboptimal line through a turn also won’t cost you. Though the game can be calibrated for greater realism, GRID Legends is at its best when blending moments of realism with nakedly arcade racing.īouncing off a wall doesn’t cost you much in time or momentum. The concession GRID Legends makes to get its multifaceted racing over the line is that it ditches any desire to be a pure racing sim. Stock car racing is exactly what it sounds like: put your foot on the gas and lose the brake pedal’s number. Electric racing is slower overall but includes Mario Kart style boosts that sit off the racing line. Truck races are harder to control, with slow acceleration and high speeds. Each discipline has a style and feel of its own, which helps keep each individual race and series feeling fresh. GRID Legends is a multi-disciplinary racing game, covering stock car races, electric racing, touring car racing, and truck races.
