There are rumors saying the game is heavy bugged, my friends are stop playing it. And I agree there are some frustrating aspects, but once I discover solution for my gaming style, it become a fun game.

Here are the reason why this guide is created:

1. Discover & solve the unclear Wordings & Situation
2. Assist gamer to find the right way to face the problem
3. Save time to identifying the right vehicle for the right mood
4. Provide Steam Achievement Tips

Rumors are saying that the AI opponents are too easy to defeat. However, I would suggest taking another perspective to look at this matter.

• AI Difficulty - The average difficulty should be 'Hard,' not 'Medium.' You can set a higher difficulty, such as 'Expert' or 'Legend,' and restarting the race will apply the changes.
  
  
• The Difficulty Curve - The difficulty is not meant to be same from beginning till the end. The highest difficulty levels hide in the final championship "The Gauntlet". This is estimated to unlock after around 60+ hours of completion in career
  
  
• Endurance Challenge - Grid Legends is a circuit racing game, which means the real difficulty is endure long laps with no mistake. Be careful not to cause car damage, that will waste all the effort you done in the laps. If you have free time to spare, try maximum 99 laps in a single race. (but I won't support this trends)
  
  
• Rely on Vehicle Class - If you're not playing career. the A.I. opponent is also rely on vehicle class to perform extra slow or fast. Please change opponent vehicle based on the difficulty you wanted.
  
  
• Hardest Game Mode - Avoid choosing Circuit Mode, because it is the easiest. Time Attack mode is the hardest with x5 time of lap length.
  
  
• Penalty - Penalty will prosecute when the race end (if you ever did in the race). It might make you drop position no matter you're in the 1st pos.

Please customize those setting to increase difficulty. If you have already done with the suggested method and found it too easy, I'm sorry to say that you might be a Game Master and this game may not be challenging enough for you already, because Grid Legends is designed for the average gamer.




.

• Finishing requirement still cannot be unlock desire event, until more other event is completed.
  
• Career completion percentage is incorrect, however it will resume back normal afterward.
  
• Race category completion incorrect, because earning Bronze Medal consider incomplete.
  
• Rumor said that career 100% completion will display percentage wrongly again, this issue is still no solution at the moment.
  
• Some sponsor objectives completion is invalid in race creator. There are solution will list down in later section
  
• Completed sponsor objectives become zero after 50-100+ hours. Don't worry, it only happens once and for all. Let's assume this giving us chance to earn extra credit & redo the fun.
  
• Purchased & raced vehicle having zero miles progress. True, it will resume back normal when we preview the upgrade status, on every car before we drive.
  
• Rookie Grid Challenge cannot be unlock, because it require DLC to access.
  
• Pro Track Day Event cannot be unlock, no matter Ford TFZ-p1 already unlocked full upgrades. Solution is upgrade another car to stage 2.
  
• The Gauntlet events are just 9 races, compare to Pro Events, there are approx. 10 x 8 races.

• Each completion will start next chapter automatically until 36 chapters is done
  
• Vehicle mileage for upgrade is not valid
  
• Full Upgraded Vehicle is not valid
  
• Upgraded Mechanic Development is not valid
  
• Sponsor objectives is valid

• AI might not listen to commands, it is ok since don't affect achievement
  
• AI is always crash & stay behind, because it require to upgrade to improve it
  
• Teammate will not available in Time Attack mode

• Input lag on gamepad, it does happen, but not always, it is ok since not a huge problem
  
• Boost gate must be enter both on each lap to earn a complete boost (three)
  
• It get boring quick, because racing is about same car same track for many laps. So that we have long hours records to show everyone. The solution for me is not playing long hours straight, try to play other game and come back again.
  
• The music playing mostly the same in every laps. We can try change it to "Shuffle" music mode, which might help to get more exciting while listening to random music.
  
• The operator occasionally inform that your team mate has crash, but it isn't
  
• Some rumar saying that the hand brake is broken in this game. In fact, there are some car has no hand brake. Such as Prototype Cadillac Dpi-V.R / TC-1 Ford Capri Turbo Group 5

There are many thing can be done for custom play rule. However, there are something I hope to discover sooner, that's why I write this guide for someone else who are just like me.

* We can add "Lap Boosts" modifier for many vehicle type, not just Electric cars
* Added "Ramp" modifier will reduce the track option = Exclude long length tracks
* Grid Order: Driver Level = High level at front, low level at back
* AI speed is greatly affect by the vehicle performance, changing difficulty is less helpful
* AI Difficulty: Off = None of bot opponent
* Racing mileage will not calculated, if you driving on a loan vehicle
* If you wanted to exit in the mid race, choose "Retire" will still earn EXP & record completed sponsor objectives, but choosing "Quit" or "Restart" will earn nothing & completed objectives will be zero.
* There is only EXP reward, but no credit reward no matter you own the car or not

Just in case you're doubt about the rules, I write in a summary to save your time reading gimmicky introduction:
* Each lap time must be quicker than previous lap time
* Each lap must be clean = No hard collision, no shortcut, no off-road
* Red color lap time means you're losing the entire race
* Overtake other racers does nothing in Race Position
* The correct Race Position will be update by finishing lap time

There are actually sprint mode available. However it will hidden until chosen the available game mode. Such as "Circuit" & "Drift" game mode.

Completing Sponsor Objectives could reward more credits & this is would become goals for each races. Usually it can be done in the career, but actually we can done it on Race Creator, Multiplayer & Story mode.

* Once completed a sponsor objectives, manually switch to another to continue playing

* Upgrade team mechanic to unlock more option to choose Sponsor Objectives

* Perform good corner actions = 100% stick on racing line while cornering. Each cornering must be no collision, no time rewind, optional drifting, and it can be done in Indianapolis Oval Circuit. (Bug: must drive the same car)

* Second spent near drafting = Drive very close to the opponent at the back

* Perform slingshot actions = Near overtake without collision

* Finish Races Ahead of Your Teammate in Career Races = Achieve by winning without worry team-mate staying in whatever position. However, it bugged and needed to tweak setting to resume back normal. Testing done by tweaking those setup:

Ursprungligen skrivet av Syntherios:

Host Privacy: Private / Offline
Cross-Play Multiplayer: Disabled / Enable
Host Session Type: Teams
Game Invite Notifications: Disabled

* Seconds of airtime = Setting up ramps in the Racer Creator event can easily help achieve airtime, and logically, a truck should be used. However, it's much easier to earn airtime by jumping with high-speed cars instead of a truck. In the end, it's up to the gamer to choose between playing realistically or playing with ease.

* Beat Rick Scott in Career Open Wheel races = Rick Scott only available in F1000 races, find them under Semi Pro, also the last stage in Grid Challenges.

* Jump hit in career events = A glitched that able to complete in Race Creator event

* Seconds spent on two wheels = Clipping the ramps, or go over kerbs in Havana very aggressively

* Finish 1st in elimination races with 16 or more opponents = A bugged objective that only working on same car. But there are solution by changing Online setting into Private, or vice versa


* Complete laps in the Mazda Autozam Az-1 = Complete laps in the Mazda Autozam Az-1 can be done in story

* Beat Lara Carvalho in events = Require x5 race completion. Cannot be done in DLC story mission, because you will play as Lara Carvalho, only can be done in Race Creator, but random chance

* Complete laps at Fuji = Can be done in DLC story mission

* Night races in North America = Can be done in "Chicago / Crescent Valley / Indianapolis / Miami / San Francisco"

* Events completed with Dust Storm weather = Dust Storm only available in "Crescent Valley / Dubai / Mount Panorama / Sydney Motorsport Park" We can restart 3 times in Race Creator to get it done. The DLC car is under GT Vintage category.

* Beat Prince Venter in Drift events = Can be done in Race Creator, he will appear as a random opponent.
* Beat Voltz in events = Only can be done in story mission, circuit races no matter DLC story or not. However, this event is bugged, for example: Completing events will not counted. Try do some other objective such as drive some kilometers in Bugatti Bolide, then come back for this will return back to normal. If it bugged again, repeat same method to make the event count.

* Beat Raven in events = Can be done in story mission. However, this event is bugged & not counted when you switching story mission from DLC to main story. Strangely, completing career mission will start counting.

* Barrel rolls in events = Can be done in Race Creator, try F1 car with ramps.

* Races won after hitting all boost gates = Sound easy but each calculation is base on x1 finishing, no matter how laps had done. Means you need to restart x8 time, not 8 laps.

Cannot enjoy in the first 10 hours trail on EAplay? Lack of good car to play? Let me help you to find them

There are two special add-on to make the screen looks like classic. But for some newcomer might not know where and how does it looks like? especially it is only available for "Race Creator" event. Here is the steps to make it happen:

Menu ➜ Option ➜ Gameplay ➜ OSD ➜ Screen Filter:

* Off (default)
* Vintage 1 Race Driver 2002
* Vintage 2 Grid 2008

Those also can be the fun part for gaming, I categorize them into Easy / Moderate / Hard
