GRID, Codemasters' latest racer, is finally here and we are big fans of the game!
We got our hands on GRID when it was still in development back in the Summer and it is safe to say that GRID has delivered on that promising display.
There are many components which can make a good racing game great, and one of those is the selection of cars that are available to the player. You can have the best handling model, graphics and sound in the world, but if there aren't a good amount of vehicles to choose from, the game can feel empty.
That's not a problem for GRID, though, as the 2019 release has a total of 70 cars split across 5 main categories, making for plenty of options to race against your friends and the AI. Here's the complete list of cars in GRID!
Touring Cars
There are 10 Touring Cars to choose from in GRID across 3 sub-classifications, TC-2, Super Tourers and TC-1 Specials. TC-2 cars are like those you'd find in national touring car series such as the BTCC, basically souped up family and saloon cars.
The Super Tourers are high-performance touring cars that compete in series like the Australian V8 Supercars, while the TC-1 Specials are turbocharged 80's racers that are a real handful to drive!
Full list:
Subaru WRX STI TC-2
Ford Focus TC-2
VW Gold GTI TCR (TC-2)
Audi RS 3 LMS (TC-2)
Ford Falcon FG-X Supercar (ST)
Holden ZB Commodore Supercar (ST)
Chevrolet Camaro Super Tourer
BMW M1 Turbo Group 5 (TC-1)
Ford Capri Turbo Group 5 (TC-1)
Porsche 935/78 Group 5 "Moby Dick" (TC-1)

Stock Cars
Fans of NASCAR will love to dive into the stock and muscle cars which are available in GRID. There are seven muscle cars on offer as well as an oval stock car and pro truck in total. I personally found the muscle car races to be some of the most fun in the game, partly owing to the variety of vehicles you can choose from.

Tuner
There are three sub-categories in the Tuner catalogue of cars, Modified, Super Modified and World Time Attack. There are 5 Modified cars available, which are low-performance Japanese touring cars, ranging from the modern to the 70's. 6 more cars are in the Super Modified category, there are more modern and more in-line with what you'd see in Japanese saloon car races.
World Time Attack is a championship you probably won't have heard of but is growing in countries like Australia. The series sees you race against the clock, and not directly against your competitors. There's five cars on offer to race in for this series, making the total tuner cars available 16.
