'GRID' (ALL) Season Two Begins Next Month, Adds New Cars, Track, Challenges, And More

by Rainier on Jan. 31, 2020 @ 10:56 a.m. PST

GRID delivers intense wheel to wheel racing action, spanning four continents in some of the world's most famous city streets and race circuits.

Choose cars from GT, Touring, Stock, Muscle, Super-Modified and more, across race types including Circuit, Street Racing, Ovals, Hot Laps, Point-to-Point and World Time Attack.

GRID strikes the perfect balance, offering risk and reward for every type of racer. Handling is incredibly responsive with a learning curve that appeals to both casual arcade gamers through to the core simulation racers. Progression is rewarded through liveries, player cards, team mates, achievements and driving accolades. AI drivers push the player to their limits to earn a place on the podium and ultimate victory in the GRID World Series Championship. Realistic damage can affect both the car’s performance and handling and too much contact with the same racer will see them emerge as a nemesis who will stop at nothing to get their revenge in the race.

Established as one of the best modern-day drivers across F1, Endurance and Stock Racing, Fernando Alonso has signed as a Race Consultant and appears in-game. Players enter a series of events against some of Alonso’s Esports driving team ‘FA Racing’, across multiple classes of racing before coming face to face with the former World Champion in his infamous Renault R26 F1 car, in a final showdown event.


GRID’s next slate of post-launch content takes things up a gear, with the Season 2 DLC pack launching Feb. 12 on PS4, Xbox One, PC (Steam), and coming soon to Google Stadia.

Season 2 sees six new cars drop into GRID, alongside another Career Mode expansion and the addition of the world-renowned Red Bull Ring. Season 2 content will be available for free to Deluxe Edition and Season Pass owners, while Day One Edition or Standard Edition owners can purchase Season 2 for $12.49 on consoles or $9.99 on PC. There’s plenty of additions that are free for all players, too. 

Season 2’s line-up of new cars is a stunning selection of exotic, powerful, ground-breaking machines, crafted by the world’s most famous manufacturers. Ultimate Edition players receive the Ferrari FXX, Aston Martin Vulcan AMR Pro, Brabham BT62, and the Pagani Zonda Revolución. In Career and Multiplayer, the Pagani Zonda will be available to race as a loan car for all players. Season 2’s Track Day Supercars include two more that are available for free to everyone: the Ferrari 599XX Evo and the Ford GT Heritage Edition.

Austria’s Red Bull Ring has been a staple of world motorsport championships for 50 years. With its relatively unchanged layout since 1996, the track is renowned for creating dramatic racing, with huge braking zones and overtaking opportunities galore. The new circuit is available to all GRID players in Career, Free Play, and Multiplayer.

Season 2 brings a further expansion to Career Mode, with an extra 33 events using the Red Bull Ring and four Track Day Supercars. Available when purchasing Season 2 or owning GRID Ultimate Edition, experience the hand-picked selection of races, with two new threads, fresh Showdown events, and the latest Ravenwest Motorsport challenge. 

Players who bought the Deluxe Edition will receive all content as part of their Season Pass. Players who own the Day One or Standard Edition will have the opportunity to purchase each season and piece of content separately from their digital store of choice.

GRID is currently available on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
