Grid Autosport Best of British DLC Releases
July 22, in the year of
our Lord 2014 -- Today Codemasters® announced the ‘Best
of British’ Car Pack for GRID Autosport is available from today
for the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft,
Windows PC and for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment
system priced at $2.99 USD.
The ‘Best of British’ car pack features three stunning vehicles,
each engineered and produced in the UK. Lead Handling Designer
Gehan Pathiraja, who comments of the creation process, “We spend
hours of research and a lot of time behind the pad and the
steering wheel to make them [the cars] as accurate as possible.
There’s a lot of work that goes into it to make it feel like
that car. Because we’ve taken a handcrafted approach, we really
care for the gameplay and we want other people to experience
that as well.”
The three cars available in the pack, with accompanying comments
from Gehan, are as follows:
1995 McLaren F1 GTR
“We all know the McLaren F1 is an awesome road car – this is the
GTR designed for Endurance Racing. It’s got a huge wing that
will give you massive downforce in the corners, it’s all about
being brave and attacking those corners at speeds you never
thought possible.”
2011 Aston Martin Zagato V12
“The Zagato model has bodywork styled by Italian designers, but
has a typical Aston Martin V12 engine, very powerful, very
torquey. If you can manage the weight and the grip and fire it
out the corners, you’ll benefit from all that power from the
V12.”
2007 McLaren Mercedes SLR 722
“It’s got a huge supercharged V8 engine that sounds like an old
World War Two Spitfire. There’s clearly a lot of power being put
out from the V8, and you can really feel that in the car in our
game.”
