GRID 2

You join World Series Racing as its lead driver, competing around three continents to build the series’ following and advance your career. Winning events earns fans and unlocks further races and cars. Race in a range of formats, including circuit races, drifting, head-to-head events, checkpoints, and changing-route races. Events take place on licensed circuits, city streets, and mountain roads, with different cars offering distinct handling. The driving aims for a middle ground between arcade racing and simulation, with an emphasis on controlled slides and staying near the edge of control. Career car customization is limited to paint and decals, while multiplayer has its own progression and car upgrades.

Build a global racing series by winning fans in fast, drift-friendly races across circuits, city streets, and mountain roads.
