I think GRID is a very good racer.
Not all racer need to be hardcore sim to be fun. I like all type of racer sim, arcade, semi-sim, semi-arcade and I find them all enjoyable. This is not discussion about sim VS arcade but more if the race car genre is on the way out just like fighting game once was a showcase for new consoles.
I remember when consoles used to launch with good racers, just last generation.
Mario Kart is doing well but it's kinda in its own category, just like all Nintendo first party games.
