History YMMV / GRiD

* PolishedPort: The Nintendo Switch port of ''Autosport'', developed by Codemasters' sister studio Feral Interactive, is extremely well-done. Aside from slight overall performance and graphics improvements, there are now two modes - "Graphics" which enchances them further and makes use of advanced visual effects like shadow details and depth of field, and "Performance" which forgoes them in favor of a smooth 60 fps. In addition to being compatible with every type of Switch controller as well as the Hori racing wheels, the Gamecube controllers that players of [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate ''Smash'']] were using can now function with analog triggers, ensuring they can still control throttle and brake input as they could with the original versions.

* ContinuityLockout: Downplayed. A few aspects of the story of ''Legends'' might require players to be familiar with the lore of the series, particularly the ''TOCA Race Driver'' games. However the "[=McKane=]" featured in ''Legends'' is such a massively villainous character (see MoralEventHorizon below) that might make long time players think that he isn't the same [=McKane=] as the guy featured in the ''TOCA Race Driver'' games.

* FirstInstallmentWins: It's pretty much agreed upon that the first ''GRID'' is better than ''GRID 2''. Some do argue with ''Autosport'' being just as good as ''GRID 1'', though. However not only are pitstops still absent (tracks with pitlanes have those pitlanes blocked off by barriers), but the returning cockpit view is blurry and far less detailed than the first ''GRID''.

* ContinuityLockout: A few aspects of the story of ''Legends'' won't make sense to players who aren't familiar with the lore of the series, particularly the TOCA games.

* ScrappyMechanic: The arcade-ish handling in ''GRID 2'' (specially when driving a "Balanced" or "Drift" type car), in which you're very likely to oversteer when dashing through a corner.

** Disappointed with the soundtrack from ''Autosport''? ''Legends'' have got you covered with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp2YjOTW-Bk Triple Razor]]" (a third rendition and TriumphantReprise of "Razor's Edge"), "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hp4xdBrql8 Grid Runner]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unIzn75j4ms Electric]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVk22E__61A Legendary]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-ZIgS8MTII Meltdown]]". And for a sense of finality, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voc9ph3g8Uo Off The Grid]]" (which is a DarkReprise of ''GRID 2'''s theme song) is heard [[spoiler: during the final showdown against [[FinalBoss Ryan McKane]] at New Year's Eve [[BattleInTheRain during a thunderstorm at]] Strada Alpina]].

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: ''GRID 2''. Poor, poor ''GRID 2''. It has received a lot of flak from the beginning for of the absence of cockpit view, because, according to Codemasters, only 5 percent of the ''GRID'' players used it. Now that the game's out, the other major complaint is that the game feels more arcade-y than the first game, thus disappointing the fans that expected and preferred the handling of the original.
** Upon the release of ''GRID 2''[='=]s SDK, [[StartMyOwn some fans took it upon themselves, adding cockpit view back in or changing the cars' handling.]]

** While the cockpit view eventually returned in ''Autosport'', it's blurry and minimally detailed compared to the highly detailed cockpit of the first ''GRID'' (despite being an improvement over the fan-made interior models from ''GRID 2'', which used to be very low-poly even on the highest graphical settings).

* MoralEventHorizon: Nathan [=McKane=] crosses it at the ''very beginning of the game'' when he causes the massive accident in the mid-season Strada Alpina race - which causes [[spoiler:Yume Tanaka to have to have her leg amputated.]] - and doesn't take responsibility for it.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: All installments of ''GRID'' series have some adrenaline-pumping soundtracks that play during replay mode and special orchestra versions for the important license races.
