GRID is an arcade adaption of the 2008 Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC game of the same name. It was ported to the Sega Europa-R arcade board by Codemasters and Sega Amusements Europe in 2010, the second game to run on the platform following 2008's Sega Rally 3 (which the board was designed for).

Gameplay

The arcade version of GRID stems from its home counterparts, though has been simplified, removing the "GRID World" feature (which saw the player manage a racing team and enter events to earn money) in favour of a selection of standard car/track combinations. All races are time limited, and the damage mechanics have been removed. A "reset" button was also added to the cabinet, returning the car to the middle of the road if the user spins off.
