Agreed, can't wait til this is released!  Played the TOCA3 demo and can't find it anywhere!  Best Buy had it, but I bought NFS:ProStreet instead, then came back awhile later to buy TOCA3 and it was gone.

I read about this game the other day, and it really sounds awesome.

I love how you have a driving career, and get hired by teams etc

I am so buying this game.  Played one race in the demo and this game simply owns.  Period.

Looks nice, but all games look like that before they come out.

Played the demo on the Xbox, was amazing and all - but it was a bit too easy.

ie, i could race it like i was playing NFS, and still stay on the track.


AI is suberb though, the damage model is amazing, graphics are hawt. I might buy it.

Turn off the traction control, brake assist, and stability control.   I agree the damage model was impressive.  Depending on where I hit other cars, the it immediately changed the handling.  Radiator damage is possible so I had to be careful where I pushed others out of the way.  Good times, can't wait til it's released!

online is just too easy. At the start of every race, several people managed to crash on the straight leading up to the first hairpin. Those who don't are the IM A ROCKIT IM A ROCKIT retards that speed into a corner at 200km/h, hitting the dude in front of them and taking out another 5-6 cars. The rest of the race is a fight between the survivors.

That's my assumption after viewing this video:
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32754.html

Note the mention of 3 distinct racing regions Europe, US, and Japan with each having unique racing series.  GT and open wheel are mentioned for Europe and shown at 24 seconds looks like F1 cars. 

And this video:
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32540.html

This video talks about the various cars and at 1:08 to 1:10 shows what looks like an F1 cockpit.

It still doesn't really feel like a car...Looks sexy, effects are cool, damage modeling is good....

Driving is an utter disappointment if you are looking for a realistic game.

Driving is too floaty, even with all the electronics turned off. Cars don't feel like they have enough weight. I didn't really like it. Even the graphics and the damage, F1 and GT5:P had way better graphics. Even GTA 4 has (way) better physics and possibly graphics than GRID, imo...

And besides, a racing game. If you play it properly, you'll never even notice significant damage

Amen. Some kinda damage is good, but unless its a rally game "Crash hard enough and your car doesn't work anymore" is sufficient. I also noticed that you can be going full speed, full throttle and just turn the car effortlessly.

I played the demo, its not bad. I just wish they would take the same approach to a driving game like Microsoft takes to Flight Simulator.
