Grid Autosport launches on Nintendo Switch in 2019.The Switch version of Codemasters' 2014 racing simulator is developed by Feral Interactive, which handled the Mac, iPhone and iPad versions.Here's the official blurb:'Grid Autosport challenges players to become pro-racers, mastering motorsport's most exciting cars on the world's most thrilling circuits, from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to the city streets of Barcelona. With customisable difficulty and a range of driving disciplines, Grid Autosport delivers an irresistible mix of realistic handling and high-speed thrills.' Our resident racing expert Martin Robinson and gave it 7/10.' Grid Autosport is a fine racing game, though it's never a thoroughbred one,' Martin wrote.

Six years on, Grid Autosport - while a definite return to form for Codemasters - is simply a rediscovery of it.'
