Good News. Someone posted a gofile link for the game with all the patches applied on Twitter. Expect this game to be available soon here as well!!!

Are you guys even going to upload it or are you just blue-balling at this point?
Maarcis12 2025-03-21 0 point
I've asked them couple months ago, they said that it will be uploaded soon enough, so let's be patient.

I recently rediscovered this game and I saw it's now fully abandonware, so please can you upload it again?
Slash 2025-03-07 1 point
Yeah think it is time to make this one available again, because I cant buy it anywhere!

"GRID is available for a small price on the following website, and is no longer abandonware"
Not anymore, the game is now gone from the website due to licensing as well. You can't buy this game anymore, even before EA bought Codemasters, GOG wasn't allowed to sell the game due to licensing issues. If you can put Motorhead back up, why can't you put GRID back up on here as well?

mobo h81+i7 4790+16gb 1600mhz+gtx 1060 6gb+500w psu+1tb ssd is a perfect 300 EUR build for anyone wanting to try out gaming, maxing out most in 1080p. In 2k, also good performance. Intel gen 4 means AVX2 and some other good-to-have features.

The ZOOM website that you linked for GRID stopped distributing it since March 2023. That's over 1,5 years and you mean to tell me no one managing MyAbandonware bothered to release it here since that happened? Or is "temporarily unavailable" label on ZOOM really requires floor-crushing balls to just ignore?
Let's be real - this game ain't coming back, ever, especially considering the fact that EA owns the Codemasters now. Hell, even before EA took CM under their rotten umbrella, not even GOG was allowed to sell this game due to licensing problems. This website didn't have problem uploading old NFS games from Black Box Era nor did it have problem uploading first two DiRT games recently, so what makes this one so problematic?
With above in mind - please reupload GRID in here so that people in the comments section won't have to do your job for you (on a side note - link posted by TheLORDGOD22 is clean GOG installer from Internet Archive, so if anyone wants to play it, go there without doubts. I also recommend to check PCGamingWiki for ini file fixes for widescreen resolution).
As much as I love this website for the fact it preserves games, exceptions like this are downright embarassing.

FOR EVERYONE EVERYWHERE, HERE IS GRID - GOG VERSION:
https://archive.org/details/race-driver-grid_202112
I use a T300RS, limit wheel rotation to 270 ° in Thrustmaster Control Panel.
If you have a Dualshock 4, use DS4 Windows so the game will recognize your gamepad as an x360 controller, then you configure the custom controller option for your wheel. So the wheel only works in races, then controller is used for menus.
Options - driving options - driving assists:
traction, braking, stability off
Options - driving options - Force Feedback / Vibration:
Force / Vibration on, Force Strength, force weight, effects strength 100%
then tweak wheel and pedal sense to taste.
4K GRAPPIXXX ENABLED:
navigate to ":\GRID\system\"
open "hardware_settings_restrictions" with notepad
almost at the bottom; replace cl with this:
As always V-Sync off, Res Upscaling off, and G-Sync enabled via Nvidia Control panel in desktop.
Hood or cockpit camera works, I don't play anything else.
Have funsies!

Sorry, i meant "temporarily unavailable". But you might get the picture.
Maarcis12 2024-12-16 0 point
For anyone wondering why it's "temporarily available" on ZOOM.
https://www.zoom-platform.com/news/electronic-arts-codemasters-de-listing-notice
It's because it is de-listed from that platform, sadly since last year.
Katsur 2024-12-10 0 point
Why are you so slow, Admins? Our wait for its re-release is entirely for naught!
Matt 2024-11-17 2 points

This game has not been available for a long time. Is there anyway to flag this as abandonware?
SkippKatt 2024-07-21 0 point
Please bring back Grid, it has not been available to purchase on Zoom for years at this point
noob 2024-07-18 1 point
useless website not available to buy anywhere and still can't download it there
Slavika95 2024-05-25 2 points
Can you upload this, please? It can't be bought at that ZOOM thing or anywhere else legit.
Yurrinski 2024-05-05 0 point
Can you kindly upload this game? It can't be bought anywhere anymore, and it can't be bought on ZOOM anymore.
Dank Swank 2024-05-02 1 point
BRO ZOOM DOES NOT HAVE IT ANYMORE AND THEY NEVER WILL; PUT IT BACK UP IT'S ABANDONWARE!!!
Gaz 2024-04-01 1 point
You can't even buy it in zoom. So it's abandonware. Should be available for download.
just give up 2024-03-31 -1 point
What I take from this is that we should all download everything we can from here, now that we can, because one day we'll find them in the same situation as this game. Yes, at this rate even the spectrum games aren't safe...
WHY!!!? 2024-03-24 4 points
Why does it still have the link to ZOOM? ITS NOT EVEN AVAILABLE ON THERE ANYMORE!!!! BRING BACK GRID!!!!!!
Some guy 2024-02-05 2 points
The game can't be bought on zoom. "No longer abandonware", yeah right!
LeRutY 2024-01-28 1 point
The only Grid game which can be played via lan. Decent first game in the series (I know they dropped Toca in exchange), two modes of handling (arcade, sim), nice selection of tracks (race tracks and cities). Can be played online on gameranger

The game is unavailable on zoom platform, on top of that I have doubts about it being legal - They'd have to buy the rights to sell from codemasters and car/music licences, would that be profitable?
DeathCold 2023-11-19 0 point
Played this game not too long ago. Maybe last year, I can't remember. Good game but again, cheating AI and rubberbanding does it's job of ruining your gaming experience even in this game.
ENDERS 2023-11-01 3 points
what even is zoom? are they just selling a pirated copy? it's not even available anymore, please re-upload.
WhiteHeartHDN 2023-10-05 9 points
Can't the game just be re-uploaded? Zoom doesn't sell it anymore.
Samson95@ 2023-10-05 2 points
What the hell is "zoom" ? Seriously there is no information available, all we got is just buy the game from ZOOM.
Dafaq?
