Grid: Autosport - Season Pass

Before anything else: this is a DLC Season Pass, not a standalone game. You need GRID Autosport installed and running before any of this means anything to you. If you already own the base game and enjoy it, read on. If you are still on the fence about the base game itself, sort that out first. So what does the Season Pass actually give you? Eight content packs in total, including the Drag Pack, Touring Legends Pack, Road and Track Car Pack, Sprint Pack, Coupe Style Pack, Best of British Pack, a Boost Pack, and the exclusive Premium Garage Pack that adds five extra online car slots. The Sprint Pack is probably the headline piece, bringing a brand-new Sprint game mode, a dedicated single-player Sprint Championship, and 24 routes across four locations lifted from GRID 2 - California Coast, Hong Kong, Cote d'Azur, and Okutama. The Drag Pack adds three purpose-built drag cars and a single-player Drag Championship across three strip locations. On the car side, packs like the Coupe Style Pack slot in vehicles such as the BMW Z4 GT3, Hyundai Genesis Coupe, Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, and Nissan GT-R SpecV, while the Touring Legends and Best of British packs round out the roster with more historically flavoured machinery. For context on why this matters: GRID Autosport itself sits in a comfortable spot between arcade and sim. The handling model is more planted and readable than GRID 2's divisive TrueFeel system, and the base game ships with five disciplines - Touring, Endurance, Tuner, Open-Wheel, and Street - plus a career mode built around working as a driver for hire across different teams and sponsors. It plays well on a gamepad, which matters if you are not running a wheel setup, and the cockpit view makes it genuinely enjoyable with a wheel if you do have one. The Season Pass extends that career content and adds variety to what would otherwise be a slightly repetitive event rotation. The honest caveat is that this content dropped in 2014, the online multiplayer servers are long quiet, and the base game was delisted from Steam. That means the Season Pass only makes sense if you already have a Steam key for the base game from a third-party retailer, which is exactly where most people will be finding this listing. If that is your situation, the Sprint and Drag packs in particular add real replayable structure, and the additional car variety keeps custom cup sessions feeling fresh whether you are grinding solo laps or sitting down with a second player in split-screen. For a four-friends Saturday night session, GRID Autosport holds up in split-screen, and more car variety from these packs only helps. It is not a modern sim and it was never trying to be. What it is is a polished, accessible, fun racer, and the Season Pass gives you the full breadth of what Codemasters shipped for it.
