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.

Hopefully I will see you guys in game in the future. I thought it was Project Cars 2 not one for the Linux port?

This game suffers from a fullscreen bug on Windows that they decided to never fix. I wonder if Feral will fix that for Linux. This game is also one of the few I've seen that supports dual monitors. You can have your race on one screen and race information on the other.

I hated GRID 1 because of the realistic controls, maybe if it looks fun in the Live Stream I'd like it. I want something like Twisted Metal or Burnout Paradise - Dirt Showdown quenches most of that style but I wish it was open world ;(I want good old Driver San Fransisco on Linux. It beats Burnout Paradise hands down.

Thanks for the recommendation, I loved Driver on PS1, I would love to play on SteamOS :)

AFAIR, the big Linux releases were all accompanied by sales, right?

Great news, I was waiting for it, but would be even better have more racing games at Linux. Other games that I would like to have available are DIRT: Rally, some of the F1 series and Project CARS that was announced for Linux but didn't launch yet.

It gets frustrating when all the top big banner releases on Steam store and on the popup adverts are for Windows. Then there is the small scrolling banner with their Steam machines underneath.

Ok, it works just fine, I only needed to update my nvidia driver, which was already available in my repos.
