Maybe a bit off-topic but did you know that the GRID movie when starting the game the same soundtrack uses as in the movie The Bourne Ultimatum with Matt Damon as Jason Bourne?

Same as xubidoo, not as much.
Reason being, is the faster drivers feel they need to use the Ebay car modification exploit to win.

Some of the fast drivers I used to race against have stopped talking to me and leave the session when I arrive because they use the exploit and know I am a fair driver who does not use it to win.

If anything I can still drift online as the Ebay exploit makes no difference as it all comes down to skill in drift.
Also the reason why there is barely any drifters online.

Not how much faster your car is down the straight and even pulling away while in their slipstream.:shadedshu

Yeah I still play it but online is becoming useless now with all the tweaked ebay cars roaming about. Also there is the "instant 1st place, FTW" hack. The only person(s) who ever argue about it are those who were in 1st or 2nd place. But the single player portion is still fun though.

uh I friggin hate those yea that is true, still I would like to host an online game, but still I'm only good with the BMW and the lacetti and I don't use ebay cars. Also kinda okay with the Skyline but still a frustrating car to drive.

and I don't know about the drifting aspects the physics for that seem extremely awkward. Maybe been playing too much Battle Gear and Initial D.

If you edit a certain file in the GRID program folder, you can get super Ebay cars.
For expample, CM set the Ebay cars to have a max of 5% performance increase.
People have found out how to increase this percentage.
Only downfall is the cars can get to powerful to handle.
Reson why not many drifters out there as it ins't about the speed but the skill.

Another thing I have noticed is the new drivers who use this hack will leave after the race if they find they have come across someone who is just as fast as them without using the exploit.

This exploit is used alot more than the other ones out there as it doesn't require other tools.

Sigh...I so want to give up, I can't believed I just got owned by ravenwest on normal....in open wheel with the formula 3 car...man I just want to give up at this point lol, Some of these other cars I just can't handle. Like the le mans series cars and the GT1 and GT2 I don't even want to touch those.

and is it just me but the AI just seems awkwardly able to steamroll over you in a lot of cases. Also how can it be when you fly off in the dirt your car slows down but when they do that they recover, and I mean recover fast.

I dunno sorry if it sounds like I'm complaining but I dunno just irritating.

You need to practice your driving more. I have to have things set to Extreme to have any chance at some competition.

dunno do you still start all the way at the back of the grid because that's where I'm usually at either 8th or 10th on the grid.

Put it on kiddy skill then.

Also certain cars are faster than others.
The Lambo is the fastest in GT1.
The GT2 are all pretty much even but with different handling quirks.
I find the Panoz Eperanté the most balanced.
As for the F3, well you'll just have to learn the circuits better.

I race on Savage level as I noticed the AI cars having much better traction than my car in Extreme.
I drift on Ninja difficulty as I don't think CM thought some drifters could get as good as they are now.

The real issue is that the physics for this game is more arcade. But this is a really fun game to play. They said they improved the physics in Dirt 2 and I hope that's true. But time will tell.

the physics of the game are a weird combination between real and arcade for me.
