I too copied profiles for my wheel, and afterwards routinely finished on the podium on the Buggy portion of the Demo, ironically it was the Wrx that game me the most difficulties...
Any way you slice it Grid is a heap of good fun, and I'll be looking to pick it up.
Speaking of other driving games, and going way OT - anyone see the new video for Burnout Paradise PC? Supporting Double Widescreen 3840x1200
Also a GRID PS3/X360 side by side if anyone is interested?
