I have played the demo, its going to be a very good game when it comes out. Not as polished looking as GT5, but the fun factor is above GT5 IMO. Plus car damage, very aggresive AI makes the game gold in my book. Its more of an arcade racer than a simulator , I love GT5, but i can learn to love GRID to. The replays remind me of a action movie, very intense and the sense of speed is spot on!

As far as the RX-8, there might be, GRID focuses on Gran Am/GT/LM/ALMS/FIA/JGTC race cars, if there is a RX-8 it would be under the JGTC Japanese Grand Touring Championship , or as a drift car , since there is a segment that deals with pro drifting.

Either way , when it comes out it will be added to my race library for the PS3.

Yah from the interview with the dev team. Japanse cars will be the drift cars, in the game. As for JGTC, i am not sure. The reason is, when the DEV talked about each region he says, When i look at America, its of the ALMS, Europe its GT and LM, and as for Japan its Drifting.

Oh cool.... well then its possible that the RX-8 might be a drift car? The demo had a Top Secret 240sx, maybe they will have the D1 Rx-8 in there, I forget which team sponsors the RX-8, not a big fan of drifting, respect it none the less.

I do love the race cars that will be in the game, the sweet German touring cars alone are sick, can't wait to drive those Mercedes CLk-R's or the Audi RSR-GT. Sick rides! Hopefully the prototypes will be included.

This game should be good. I played the demo and the physics of course weren't as tight as GT but that's to be expected as this is a different type of game with a wide variety of different race types. I think GRID is built off the Dirt engine so the sense of speed and controls will be decent. The damage looks spectacular and its one of the best features of this game. I've thought the TOCA/ Race Driver series is one of the better racing games available so this game shouldn't disappoint.

And yeah, the DTM's are some of my favorites to race.

Yah might be a good chance . I know JIC uses the 8 as their drift car. and i cant wait to try out those rides either. I love the Euro track on the demo then i liked the American Track. also the dev team said the US track will be about Horsepower so you will have lots of straight and less turns. as for the Euro track, it will be about lightweight cars dominating the turns. but yah, cant wait to play with Audi. also i know the prototypes will be on the ALMS, but as for LM not sure.

I hope they do, it will be interesting to see what GT comes up with for damage.

Once you get the GRID demo, smash the hell out of your car and watch the frame by frame replay. It's pretty amazing and realistic.

Sounds good but I need to practice the Grid demo a little bit. I've been so deep into GT5-P so I've only given grid a brief test run once or twice. My psn is JRichter.

No RX-8 it seems.

But the RX-7 and 787b LeMans car make the GRID.

With the 787B in there, I don't care if there's no RX-8.

I should be home around that time (8 your time). I've only got the demo, too. I've only given it a brief try once or twice. I've been playing GT5-P so much which seems really different so I not used to the handling. If my connection (which is horrible lately) holds out I down for some races.
