With GRID Autosport’s release just a little over a month away, the team at Codemasters has been busy revealing the game’s features in a series of blogs and trailers. Today, they have released their latest blog/trailer, Endurance. The trailer is a combination of endurance racing footage (mostly at night) and comments from real life endurance drivers including Matt Bell, Rory Butcher and Joe Osborne.
In the blog post, Codemasters unveiled some of the features that will separate endurance races from the other races, including:
- Large grid sizes (up to 16 cars offline, 12 players online)
- Long, high speed races featuring tyre wear (up to 40 minutes long)
- AI run multiple strategies
- Cars of similar or pre-defined specification
- Sports tuned vehicles with lots of grip
- Practice, Qualifying and Race format
- Rolling Starts
- Focus on night time races
As for the cars, Codemasters also unveiled that list too:
- AUDI R8 LMS Ultra
- Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3
- Aston Martin N24 V12 Zagato
- McLaren 12C GT3
- Nissan 2008 (R35) GT-R Nismo GT500
- Honda HSV-010 GT
- Lola B12/80
- Shelby Cobra “Daytona” Coupe
- Ford GT40 MK1
- Mazda 787B
Between the race lengths, cars and tracks – Circuit of the Americas at night sighting in the trailer – it looks like the endurance races in GRID Autosport should be good fun.
Also wanted to let you guys know that Darin has a copy of the title and will be posting his first impressions of it next Wednesday, May 28th. Stay tuned!
