Codemasters har hyret Fernando Alonso som konsulent på spillet og han optræder også i selve spillet. Som spiller kan man deltage i en række events hvor man spiller mod Alonso’s Esports hold FA Racing, før man møder Alonso himself i hans berømte Renault R26 F1 bil.
Chris Smith, GRID Game Director hos Codemasters siger:
We are delighted to work alongside Fernando Alonso who is arguably one of the world’s greatest ever drivers. His experience and knowledge has enabled us to make improvements to both the performance and handling of our cars. We could not be more proud to have signed him both in-game and as a Race Consultant.
Fernando Alonso tilføjer:
Having competed across F1®, Endurance and Stock Racing, GRID is the perfect game for me and I’m delighted the studio has added both myself and my racing team into the game. GRID offers so much variety and I welcome the challenge when players get to line-up against me.
GRiD udkommer 13. september til PlayStation 4, Xbox One og PC.
