Another series we haven't seen in a while that Kurt revisits. In the first race he does a time trial but there's no driving line. The second race he does with other drivers and tries getting used to it.
"I'm really feeling it!" Kurt says as he makes a SpeedRunners reference. Does he know that it came from a Nintendo game? Maybe he does but the guys have made it their own thing. :)
Later he's up for the Endurance event, his least favourite; on Spa, his favourite track. And it's at night! And in reverse! Poor Kurt has a very uncomfortable time and crashes out after using all his flashbacks. He tries again after adjusting a few settings.
He fares much better and decides to wrap things up with this game for a while since he has all the Forza and Formula1 stuff to play. Looks like he has wrapped it up too since it's a year later and I don't see any more videos ahead in this playlist.

GRID Autosport Career Mode #39
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsqFecg_PoA
Today Kurt soups up his ride and goes racing on Okutama, a track with lovely trees and mountains in the background. He then goes to sunny Autódromo do Avacado (ahem Algarve) for a time trial.
Interesting how it shows you rankings as you do the time trial and how good or bad you're doing at the moment. Most games just log times at the end of laps and compare after the end of the race. After this he races actual cars.
Looked up the two places and they're real racetracks in Japan and Portugal. Well, there's my horizons broadened :)
The pit crew talks in this game too. "Just cosmetic damage" they say. "But today is school picture day!" Kurt jokes.
"...it would be a shame if something were to happen to it" is something I haven't heard him say in a long long time! He used to give creepers in Minecraft that phrase.
He fares pretty well in this episode.

GRID Autosport Career Mode #38

Today boy racer Kurt does a time trial in a Formula 1 style car before going up against other cars in a full race. Interesting to see the rewind feature being used again and how there being a limited number of them forces one to manage them carefully. Kurt makes a Groundhog Day joke and seeks lots of slipstream. Later on he does some rally car driving... or at least I think they're rally cars. Wouldn't be a car racing buff myself.

First blog post about GRID! This game has an interesting rewind feature where if you mess up you can rewind and do that bit again immediately. It's like some kind of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time thing.
Kurt's decent enough at this game and uses his steering wheel controller when he plays. Not so fond of drifting and the endurance mode though! "Drifting is my gluten" he says, making a joke about his next country album title. He does a few races in the daytime and nighttime.
