Helmets at the ready, as GRID Autosport will be screeching onto our favourite SteamOS & Linux platform this December.
After emailing Feral Interactive as their mini-site and newsletter stated different requirements, they have edited their mini-site to only list Nvidia once again.
It will also support cross-platform multiplayer, so that's very good news. I can't wait to thrash some Mac gamers!

It's only a week away, and it's much sooner than I expected it to be released which has me rather happy!
I will more than likely do a special livestream on the release day Thursday the 10th of December to celebrate. Be sure to follow my personal livestreaming page in Twitch.
As usual, I urge you not to buy it until the official release to be sure our porting friends get the money they deserve for bringing another wonderful game to our small platform.
About the game
It’s all about the teams, the rivals and the race in an intense new world of professional motorsport. Racing alongside a teammate, you must overcome key rivals and satisfy team sponsors in ferocious races where every pass and position counts.
In a huge career, specialise in your favourite racing discipline or conquer them all feel the aggression of the pack in Touring Cars, manage tyre wear and race into the night in Endurance events, race Open-Wheel cars with precision, show car control in Tuner events and react on the fly in Street races.
Players will get behind the wheel of 80 highly desirable rides including front-wheel drive hot hatches, souped-up Muscle cars, lightweight open-wheelers and 1,000 horsepower hypercars, by manufacturers including Jaguar, McLaren, Pagani and Aston Martin. They’ll put these wonderful vehicles through their paces on 22 speed-friendly locations around the world, including purpose-built circuits such as Spa-Francorchamps, Brands Hatch and Yas Marina, and the exhilarating city street circuits of Barcelona and San Francisco.
I have updated our Release Calendar to reflect the release date too! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Now, if we can also get Dirt Rally my racing needs would be completely satisfied.

Like I said in the article, don't buy before a port is out. Always follow that simple rule.

Excellent news! This will be the first major racing simulation game on Linux. I thought Project CARS come out first, but it seems that their team has missed the premiere.

What awful timing for me. I wait all this time for a legit racing game on Linux and when it does finally come out I'll already be playing Xenoblade Chronicles X and Fast Racing Neo on my Wii U. Had this come out a month ago, even a week ago, I'd have bought it instantly, but by Dec 10th I'll have way too much on my plate. Oh well, I'll get this sometime next year when it's 75% off.

When I read support for Inter I thought it can't be true :D.

Lets hope that it will not need OpenGL 4.3 as minimal requirement, like the other recent Feral ports, so people using opensourse drivers can play it from day one.
Also, didn't Feral bought a bunch of AMD cards months ago, so they can better support then? Why are they sticking with Nvidia in the requirements?

Feral can't do anything to improve AMD's drivers. Hopefully "The Boss" doesn't mind me linking to another site, but those graphs say it all. The entire AMD lineup getting smoked by a 750 Ti in the majority of the tests.

On-topic, Hell YEEAH! Been waiting on a good racing sim and CARS is pretty much vaporware at this point.

This game was practically Nvidia only when on Windows thanks to game(Doesn't)works and we thought they were going to bring it to AMD hardware? Pretty sure I called this one last year.

Quite the contrary: let's hope it does. In many ports, there were graphical differences between Windows & Linux versions because they didn't use OpenGL 4.x ...
Let's hope some day Intel & AMD catch up with nVidia.
