Of the wide variety of car classes available in career, the spring-loaded Stock Cars and the frighteningly quick Electric Racing Cars are the most refreshing and rewarding. Therefore Career is pretty much the same as the previous GRID game and although perfectly serviceable as a generic structure for a racing game, it feels somewhat staid and old fashioned in the age of Forza Horizon 5. Additional detail yes, but in the end I felt all of this window dressing was inconsequential. The team and mechanic upgrades are a fairly pointless inclusion as they have a minimal effect on how capable your team mate is of helping during the race or just adjust multipliers linked to earnings from sponsors who set goals before each race.

No cut scenes or story here – just run of the mill box ticking and the long slow accumulation of credits used to upgrade your cars, team mate’s abilities and your mechanic.

‘Career’ involves selecting one of the car classes in each of the four difficulty tiers and then meeting all the required objectives to unlock the next batch of races. Set across 36 chapters, you are plopped into a full gamut of cars and scenarios during the story and if for nothing else, this serves as ideal training before you access your “career” on the main menu.

‘Driven to Glory’ tells the story of you (“Driver 22”) struggling against the established drivers and teams, and pantomime villain racers who would gladly use your whipped hiney to shine their bristling libidos.

Taking the solid but uninspired GRID (2019) as a base for many of the cars, locations and career modes, Codemasters have dipped into their long dynasty of TOCA / GRID games and fished out the story mode from TOCA: Race Driver (2002) to bolster the faceless but varied racing. FMV and real ‘acting’ has been employed for this particular instalment and it doesn’t bode well for GRID Legends: The Movie, despite the eccentric casting of Tom Hanks as the ghost of Max Hastings.

So why Codemasters have returned to crowbarring a narrative into their technically impressive arcade racing simulations is either a vain attempt to attract non purists to the genre or perhaps the developers are trying to the stem the boredom of churning out another update by delving into low-rent drama. It’s entirely unnecessary, it creates a fetid atmosphere and it will really upset the children.
