Plan your next GRID Legends session
This companion guide takes a closer look at the systems that shape your time in GRID Legends, from difficulty tuning and audio setup to custom events, career pacing, and car photography. Work through the exercises below to sharpen your approach and get more out of every session.
01 / THE GUIDE
Mastering Difficulty Settings
Review the available difficulty options and compare how comfortable you feel with the challenge. Note your race results and the situations you find demanding, then use those observations to choose the experience you prefer.
- Experiment with difficulty settings to match your skill level.
- Use custom volume controls to balance engine roar and music.
02 / THE GUIDE
Optimizing Audio for Immersion
Test stereo versus surround sound while racing. Adjust custom volume sliders for engine noise, music, and effects, then record which configuration enhances focus during high-speed sections.
- Bring friends into races to make the most of the 21-racer lobbies.
- Check that Steam Cloud is enabled so your progress is backed up.
03 / THE GUIDE
Designing Balanced Custom Races
Create two Race Creator events: one mixing hypercars with trucks, another using only similar class cars. Play each with friends and evaluate fairness, excitement, and replay value.
- Combine contrasting vehicle types for surprising race dynamics.
- Try Elimination and Drift events to vary the pace of a race night.
04 / THE GUIDE
Pacing Your Career Journey
Track how many of the hundreds of career events you complete each session and across which locations, including new cities like London. Note which event types you enjoy most and use that to plan a sustainable long-term route through the largest ever Career.
- Sample different event types across the career to find your strengths.
- Watch the Driven to Glory story for extra context on the racing world.
05 / THE GUIDE
Showcasing Cars via Photomode
Capture images of your favourite in-game cars in a signature pose. Review lighting and camera angles, then share the best shots to gauge community reaction and feedback.
- Use Photomode after a dramatic finish for the best shots.
- Try different angles on legendary cars to find a signature look.
