The latest iteration in the series, Grid Autosport has been released, and it could very well be a good farewell to the last generation of consoles (Xbox 360, PS3).

PC users, on the other hand, are all geared up to relish the thrilling experience the game has to offer. Again, Grid Autosport isn’t a game sent by the gods, so it can have its fair share of problems.
