Codemasters Teases "Racing is Coming". Is it GRID 3?

Codemasters is teasing what looks to be a new GRID title, in an enigmatic video simply titled "racing is coming". Other than a few streaks of neon light and some engine sounds, the teaser offers no other clues.

But the official GRID Twitter account does, with the re-tweeting of one fan guessing that an engine sound from the teaser could be taken from a touring car. Race fans have been nagging Codies for a new installment in the TOCA Touring Cars series for years.

The last proper TOCA Touring Cars title dropped back in 2006, before the series transformed into Race Driver: GRID and expanded into other racing disciplines. Could Codemasters be planning a return to its roots? Or will all of this speculation prove fruitless when the game turns out to be a mobile title?

Fingers crossed for GRID 3 or TOCA, but until Codemasters offer up an official announcement - teased in the video for April 22nd - this could be anything, although the GRID logo at the end of the vid is kind of a dead giveaway.

  • Grid 3. :)
  • bring back the derby!!!!!!
  • it has the grid logo... deffo grid 3
  • I so much want it to be a toca game but the logo looks like it will be grid. Nevertheless awesome
  • Screw grid need a new toca.While I like grid no racing game has come close to toca with so many real world tracks/cars and the weather changes.Miss it so much
  • not really in to racing games so this dont really bother me
  • Would be nice if they brought the TOCA series back, damn good games & seemed to be only game which featured the V8 Supercars from Australia.
  • @5.. I thought GRID was the spiritual successor to TOCA? Anyway, they need to go back more like GRID 1. Barely played GRID 2.
  • Grid 2 was a good game but there is just something about racedriver GRID, that keeps me playing it even NOW... Ive put so many hours into it, where as 1 good play thru of GRID 2 was enough, ... hope codies pull out a modern day classic what ever it ends up being...
  • New TOCA title, new IP Racing title and DiRT 4 please Codemasters. Not GRID 3 because it is came out last year. So no please Codemasters do not copy EA and Activision!!! F1 series that is understandable but not GRID please for sake.
  • A new touring car game would be awesome!
  • @11 AMEN....
  • I just really want a new dirt game for the one. Proper rally would be amazing.
  • Can be just a DLC for Grid 2, TOCA-themed
  • DiRT 4 would be cooler :(
  • Why not dirt 4 I suppose they are worried after dirt showdown but it would be great if they did dirt 3 was awesome ! But it must be grid 3
  • Like #3 said, it's the GRID logo, it must be a new GRID if not 3.
  • #9 100% agree!!!
  • .
  • #6 - Why bother posting then? users like you ruin the site for others
  • I honestly have not started playing grid 2. It's on my games to play list, but something always shows up that knocks it down the list. Same with a few games actually lol
  • I would love another TOCA game. Been years since I last played one, and they were amazing. Never enjoyed GRID, so never bothered with the sequel. Maybe one day they will go for it and give us what we want.
  • I think Toca 2 is the racing game I've played the most ever. I must have played the complete championship at least 20 times, and I don't know how meny additional hours I spent at Croft and Thruxton. I would buy a new Toca in about a second, just drop the Race Drivercrap!
  • GRID 3 YES.
  • Sounds like the new F1 cars to me, probably F1 2014.
  • #25 Yea it sounds like the new f1 engine in a couple of them I think. Hope it is f1 best racing games going.
  • @14 - They announced earlier that this will not be a DLC announcement.
  • This is posted on their GRID YouTube channel! :)
