When GRID was released in 2008, it had some serious competion for PS3 owners looking at racers. At the time Gran Turismo 5: Prologue had just been released a month earlier. Xbox 360 owners weren’t as fortunate. Other than Forza 2 and Project Gotham Racing 4 there weren’t many other worthwile racers to play on the 360 then. GRID never got much media promotion and was seldom advertised.
After playing the demo on XBL and PSN incessantly I knew this game was packing some serious gameplay. The damage modeling in this game is amazing. Not only do crashes and scrapes look realistic, but they really alter your vehicles performance drastically depending on component damage such as suspension and engine hits. If you are too reckless you may not be able to finish the race because your car simply cannot drive a straight line or turn whatsoever. Damage modeling is not just some graphic gimmick like most other racers out there.
If you are accustomed to Gran Turismo sense of speed you likely won’t enjoy GRID as much as other players. GRID has a better sense of speed. The cars don’t feel like they are just floating down the track at 200+ MPH like they do in GT5.
In summation: I would recommend GRID to anyone looking for a fun racing simulator. There are still tons of people playing online to this day and with the add-on DLC like 8-Ball challenge and additional cars like the new Nissan GT-R R35 you can’t really ask for much more except for maybe a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 add-on.
GRID is all about 40 of the most incredible race cars ever created with the finest AI. GRID is about revolutionary damage to vehicles and environments that affect your race and blow your mind. GRID is about the most complete replay packages, letting you relive the moments of your glory or destruction in jaw-dropping hi-res slow-motion.
GRID™ Is all about the race- that period from lights to flag; full of tension, pressure, noise, and action.
GRID will take players to beautifully realised and dramatic race locations over three continents to compete in an unprecedented variety of racing events. Packed with the most powerful race cars – new and classic, circuit and drift – players will compete to conquer the most prestigious official race tracks and championships and then go beyond to compete in challenging city-based competitions, through to road events and urban street races.
In Europe, race gamers will compete on the greatest official tracks in prestige Marques including Aston Martin, Koenigsegg and Pagani. Iconic cities across the U.S. – including San Francisco, Washington DC and Detroit and each with their own atmosphere and events – play hosts to diverse street races. Here, high-performance V8 muscle cars set the pace in aggressive closely fought pack competitions.
In the Far East, Japanese racing culture sets the tone where night races, including Drift racing, take drivers through neon illuminated cities and to outlying mountain roads. There is also the opportunity to compete in races that operate on the fringes of legality in the back streets and industrial areas of Yokohama.

Cannot stress how amazing this board is. Its price is a little steep, but that comes from the fact that it has its OWN onboard computer to run the LCD, so that using the screen takes no processing power away from your gaming. Let’s hit up the pros and cons:
Pros:
-Color LCD that runs a variety of programs
-12 Programmable macros keys with an easy-to-use programming software
-Onboard media controls
-Only uses 1 USB port on the back of the computer
-2 powered USB ports for headphones/gamepads/mice
-3 storage slots for different profiles
-”Game” switch which disables windows key
-Otherwise, fully functional keyboard with good, rapid response from keys (a must in gaming)
Cons:
-Expensive
-Requires its own power outlet
-BIG: The screen makes sure this keyboard will be taking up a lot of real estate.
-Limited programs available for LCD screen, making it more of a novelty now than a tool.
Ladies and gentlemen, this board was designed to really support one game. World of Warcraft. Its as if Logitech sat down and made a keyboard that caters just for WoW players. The screen has incredible support for the game (it displays the mini-map), the programmable functions are nice for spell casting and abilities, and you can watch YouTube videos during the griffon rides around the world (the screen has an integral YouTube watcher, though you can’t search for videos. You have to choose from preset playlists). The WoW demo is even included on the driver disk.
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t play WoW and love this thing to death for all my other gaming needs. However, if you are a WoW player, buy this thing NOW. Otherwise, if you’re just an FPS player and don’t need the coolest-looking gear in the world, settle for the much cheaper G15.
When you’re gearing up for battle, you never compromise. Not on your team, not on your weapons, and certainly not on your hardware. If you take your gameplay seriously, you want the Logitech G19 on your side.

The Logitech Momo Racing Wheel is a very high quality item behind a very low price point. As a sim racer myself, and a relatively new one at that, i found myself looking for the perfect wheel for my budget a few months back. We only have a few options in the 50 to 150 dollar price range. I found the Momo right away and knowing that logitech is a very reputable brand, i ran with it. The full range of options this wheel gives is simplistic yet fitting. So lets go into specifics.
Functionality – 9/10
This wheel has 270 degrees of rotation, 6 face buttons, paddle shifters, moveable sequential shifter, and a pedal board with throttle and brake. First off the 270 degrees of rotation is a turn off to many sim racers. The simple fact is that for under 250 bucks your not going to do any better. It functions just fine in every sim ive raced (which is most all of them). The buttons can be programmed to your liking and have a nice solid clicky feel. Paddle shifters are easy to reach with bear hands like mine. I can see them being an issue for someone with smaller hands. The sequential shifter can be placed left of right and has a solid clicky feel to it. I dont find myself using it too often for its placement is far too close to the wheel. The Pedals are very basic and my least favorite part of this product. They do offer a slip resistence for both carpet (with spike board that pops in and out) and solid floors with rubber feet. All in all the Wheel functions just fine.
Force Feedback – 9/10
Force feedback on this wheel is nothing short of incredible. It is fully custimizable and gives the user complete control of feel.
Software – 7/10
The software is very simplistic and not very impressive. Truth Be told though i have not seen any better really.
Overall 9/10
This wheel comes ready to use and is fully custimizable to the user. If your turned off by the lack of H pattern shifters or a clutch then look toward the 300 dollar price range for a Fanatec or a G25. Its very sturdy for a plastic controller and has a comfortable feel. Perfect for the beginner or the budget minded pro to hit the track and start racing.
Turbocharge your driving with the authentic feel and precision performance of the Logitech MOMO Racing Force Feedback Wheel. Designed by the racing professionals at MOMO, the full rubber wheel, stick shifter, and racing pedals feel just like the real thing. And with advanced force feedback technology, you’ll experience the road like never before. Strap yourself in and drive into the action!

The Logitech Driving Force GT Racing Wheel for the PS3 works wonderfully with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue but you’ve got to find a way to anchor it if you really want to enjoy your racing. I had mine clamped to a B&D Workmate to get me by for awhile. I then looked at the expensive racing seat setups but didn’t want to spend that kind of money and didn’t want to have the seat sitting in my living room. Finally I saw the Xlerator wheel stand and thought it would fit the bill. I was not disappointed. I’m amazed how comfortable it is to sit on my couch and drive. The wheel is completely stable and the pedals are at a comfortable angle (adjustable for 3 slightly different heights/angles). Depending on how you place the stand on the chair/couch, you can control the distance of the reach to the wheel, as well as by 3 length adjustments on the arm of the stand. It’s a simple design that does exactly what you want it to do, it is built well and should last longer than my PS3, it stores in a corner with little effort and its price is very reasonable. The people who designed and built this stand are to be commended. It’s a perfect example of form following function. Unless you absolutely need to sit in a racing seat for the sake of role playing, get this stand. You will not be disappointed.
The Xlerator Wheel Stand is a metal stand that holds video game steering wheels in a comfortable and stable driving position. This stand can be used in your living room with about any sofa or chair. It lifts up and stands on an extra leg that makes it easier to get in and out of your chair. The pedals flip up making it easy to store upright in a corner or closet. The unique design of the Xlerator Wheel Stand mates the steering wheel and the pedals as one unit making it very stable. The pedals sit in a metal pan that holds them steady and has three adjustments for height. Stand is made from 16 gauge steel tubing and sheet metal, welded and powder coated gloss black for a durable lasting finish. Quality rubber leg tips protect furniture. Three position telescoping adjustable neck slider makes it very adjustable for different body sizes and driving styles. Will work with the Logitech Driving Force GT, Driving Force Pro, DriveFX and many other clamp type wheels. Adapter kits are available for the Logitech G25-G27 also the Microsoft Xbox 360 Racing Wheel. Do not put out big bucks for a racing chassis that takes up half your living room or a setup that will allow the pedals to move or has a pole between your legs. The Xlerator Wheel Stand is the best value on the market for steering wheel stands and will help you take your driving games to the next level. Perfect set up for Playstation 3, Grand Turismo 5 and Xbox 360, Forza Motorsports 3. The Regular stand is for people up to 6’2″ and 220 lbs., please see the Big Boy Stand if you are larger.

This is the first Racing Sim I have found and have stuck with over the past year or so, Its pretty good however you need to download a majority of the content on your own.
Tracks and Cars are mainly User created and usually are free to download while some specific and more wanted downloads require another game such as GTL because the modders ripped the cars/tracks from the game and require that you actually own the product for you to install.
The menu’s for online play are quite confusing and unless you join a league your most likely to never find people that race your favorite cars around your favorite tracks.
Open wheeled cars seem to be the preferred car to race Online.
AI isn’t the greatest, either they are too aggressive and spin you out, they are too slow or they just get in your way and cause you to crash. Playing Online can be the same way if you race in public servers, most of the time you’ll end up getting a few people that purposely crash but there are quite a few people that actually want to race.
Other than that and a few minor issues.

As one of the reviewers pointed out, if you liked GTR2, you will surely like GTR Evolution. I have not played Race 07, however compared to GTR2, this title expands on the awesome pedigree of the series by providing the user with a different selection of cars, tracks as well as some graphics and AI upgrades. All the great physics and realism are there and this game is such a delight to play with Logitech G25 wheel. I have played all the new titles that came out in the past few years such Dirt 1 and 2, GRID, NFS Shift, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and I keep coming back to GTR2 and GTR Evolution because the depth and realism of these games remain unmatched. If you are passionate about cars and racing sims, then there are no better games than GTR Evolution and GTR2 for you to play.
GTR Evolution will contain 5 new classes containing a total of 30 new car models. First there are 3 classes of GT cars, each class with its own type of GT cars.

Next to 3 GT classes there will be the WTCC Extreme cars. These are fictional designs of the vision of SimBin together with the WTCC Manufacturers on how the ultimate WTCC car could look. To finish it off there will be the Production Car Class, featuring the road going versions of the Audi R8, Dodge Viper SRT/10, Koenigsegg CCX and Gumpert Apollo.
The most beautiful GT’s. Extreme versions of the already spectacular World Touring Cars. Exclusive roadcars from prestigious brands. You will find that and much more in GTR Evolution, including the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife, a 20.8km long racetrack in Germany.

For a gamer this keyboard is awesome.Best keyboard I have ever owned.My next gaming system I will buy another one or buy the next newer model.The gaming keyboards by Logitec keep getting better.I had the last logitec keyboard that was lighted with the gaming profile but, this one is much better the LCD screen is brighter and gives more information.The LCD panel and the lighted keys are also a plus.You have a clock to let you know the time and also a news ticker that let you know the latest news updates going on in the world.If you install a game and the software picks the game up as long as it is in the sofware profiler the game is imported into the software so you don’t need to add the game in.For the price of under 0 well worth it.This ketboard is also great for Flight/Space and sub sims like Flight simulator,X-3 Reunion and Slient Hunter 4.Looks great when you turn off the lights at night while flying at night in Flight Simulator to Cruising in space in X3.The keyboard is very well lighted day or night that you can always see the keyboard for any key input you may need.
Good intel and the proper gear are the keys to victory, even in gaming. The Logitech G15 keyboard keeps you informed and outfitted to win. With the Logitech-exclusive GamePanel LCD, you can easily find out what server your friends are using to play Battlefield 2142, or receive notification when your World of Warcraft battleground becomes available. You can even identify who s speaking in Ventrilo. Create useful macros on the fly and play them back with a single press of a G-key. Illuminated characters allow you to play late into the night.

Don’t pay any attention to the negative reviews. This item works as designed. Sure it’s not totally stable only because your legs can never be as solid as a table, but its good enough for a quick ride around the track. The center piece fits nicely between my legs and the side arms rest exactly on the top muscles of my upper legs giving it reasonable stability. I do NOT need to hold my legs together tightly. My only recommendation would be to wear pants that cover your legs so the plastic won’t irritate your skin.
Put it this way…on my first race with the lap attachment, I was able to win a very heated online race against 12 other drivers.
While not a perfect solution, this attachment is better than nothing especially if you don’t have a table nearby.
Got a Logitech Driving Force Pro wheel? Looking for better control and a comfortable fit in your lap when driving from your favorite couch or chair? Check out this Lap Attachment. It easily attaches to your wheel to provide a stable driving experience.
