Grid Autosport could see a Linux release soon, as an eagle eyed anonymous user emailed in the fact that it's now in the "Very Soon" column of the Feral radar.
I was very impressed with the recent Dirt Showdown port from VP, so let's hope Feral do us proud with their racing game too. We need more of them that's for sure, as we are pretty starved for decent racing games still.

This is a surprise! I wonder why Codemasters went with Feral after VP. Are they sampling the porters?
Could Aspyr be doing one as well? Or was it simply VP being pre-occupied with Showdown so Codemasters decided on Feral for this? Regardless, I'm excited! I hope performance is as good or better than Showdown, VP have set a new level of quality :)

Quoting: SabunOr was it simply VP being pre-occupied with Showdown so Codemasters decided on Feral for this? Regardless, I'm excited!Could be the other way around. I'm sure a native port always takes a lot more time in development and QA than a wrap job, unless you're building the wrapper from scratch.

After sinking a dozen hours into this on windows: Its actually one of the better Codemasters-Racers, as it strikes the perfect balance between simulation and arcade - at least for me. Some of the leagues are pure genius, like touring, ore quite good, like street racing, but others are a little dull, like endurance or the dreadful drifting events in muscle cars. Nevertheless, I can only highly recommend this one, alone for touring and street racing... (and there is not much competition right now on Linux - I have read that the gamepad-handling of "project cars" it terrible). One more thing: the gamepad controls are very good in grid autosport.

On Windows, you can max this game out at 1080@60fps on mid-range hardware. It'll be interesting to see if players can get similar results with Feral's port, especially considering the non-native port of Showdown from VP was so good. This is also one of the few games that supports dual monitors. You can choose what you want to be on the second monitor. Unfortunately, there's a fullscreen bug on Windows that they never fixed. I hope Feral can fix it on Linux.

This is awesome if true. What I'd love is one of the rally games like Dirt 3.

I'm inclined to agree. This is why I think VP will ultimately become the main porting company. They take about three months to port a title and they've been improving the performance more and more reaching complete equity with Windows with Arma III (which is still in beta, mind you).

Will buy it imediately. I only hope my logitech momo race will be supported on it... arma 3 port doesn't recognize my wheel, and on tux kart the force feedback is missing. I'm afraid the reason is the kernel...

Quoting: evergreenI only hope my logitech momo race will be supported on it..Recent Linux kernels support most Logitech wheels, but Linux games rarely do. SDL2 provides a force feedback (or haptic) API, so it's up to the developer/porter to make use of it. I wonder if the Showdown port or the native Euro Truck Simulator 2 support force feedback at all on Linux.

no matter what, I prefer to support Feral and Aspyr, I think than its more healthy for the linux gaming ecosystem to have native games instead of wrappers. Now than they are experimenting with openGL 4.2+ (and its potential advantages than it has related to performance), its safe to assume than there is a lot of space for them to improve their ports taking the advantages than the new api offers.
Btw, has anyone noticed than the batman game is now in "quite soon" (which means its far away)? Since Xcom 2 will be arriving in february, then it will be arriving on Q2 2016 in the best case. Still, as long as its a good port then its ok.
