After teasing it last week, Codemasters has revealed GRID Autosport this morning, shipping on June 24th for PC, 360 and PS3. Check out the trailer and screenshots.

GRID: Autosport aims to move the series back in line as a more authentic racing game. Set to include a more authentic handling model (more Sim than Race Driver: GRID), five distinct disciplines; Touring, Endurance, Open Wheel, Tuner and Street. Race at 22 locations (primarily circuit based) with a combined route list that totals over 100.

Make sure to read the GRID Autosport blog, which includes details about handling, racing discipline, locations, career, experience, multiplayer, cockpit cameras and much more.

Looks pretty good. Trailer must be PC... Those textures are way to good/detailed for last gen consoles.

Sounds a lot like what the Toca series used to be before they turned it into Grid. I'm in.

Interested, but was hoping for next gen consoles. Will pick it up when it gets to ~$20 on PC.

"The first is that we genuinely want our first next gen outing to be something really great, we don't want to have to rush and only put out a handful of tracks," he said. "We've got 22 locations in Autosport, the bulk of those are real world circuits, would all those have made it if we were to support next gen? Doubtful. "Secondly, we're working our tech for next-gen now, as such, we're not quite ready. Again, we don't want to rush. Thirdly, after GRID 2 we sort of had something to prove, we wanted to leave the 'old gen' with a bit of a bang so to speak." Walke also revealed that "Next-gen GRID will come in time, we're not going to rush that and get a game that can only run at 720/30 or something similar, next gen has to look and feel like 'next gen' for us."

This is really good news.

This is how Codemasters implements cockpit cam in GRID Autosport:



And this is a cockpit cam from Project CARS:

I like the one where I can see the road

I wonder what the grid cockpit would look like if it wasn't a multi platform last gen title.

Well it's adjustable in PCars. I've used the first screenshot I found. Still the GRID Autosport one is blurry and low-textured. They could at least use better textures for the PC version. Idk at what stage the game is now but the cockpit screenshot is just atrocious to look.
