## Mod Information

The modpack allows the private server host to pick any track and the player to pick any car to race with except in the derby event where you are only allowed to use 3 different cars.

The new events are:

- Shadow's MixIt Up -- A mix of tracks including forward, reverse and derby.
- 44 Bump to Smash -- A selection of derby tracks in which you can race with either Jupiter, Boss or Cuda.
- Private Ghost -- Includes forward USA tracks and 1 European track.
- Ryder Cup -- A range of European and Japan tracks.
- Wrong Way Purple -- The reverse USA tracks and 1 European track.
- Wrong Way Heddly -- Reverse versions of European and Japan tracks.

Added features:

- Race with the Porsche!
- Race on the 3, 1 lap, Mount Haruna tracks!
- Race on the Japan Drift tracks!
- Battle it out on the 13 Derby tracks!
- Have the ultimate war on the Derby Pit (Freestyle Arena D)!
- Many more raceday changes to improve your singleplayer experience!

## Playing Online

When selecting tracks you'll find that forward tracks and reverse tracks are grouped together for easier finding. After picking a track and number of laps, the players can choose between 43 different cars to race with.

Mount Haruna tracks must be set to have only 1 lap.

Cars are also grouped by class. The host must tell the players which class or car they're racing with so that someone does not get a car from a different class than the others.

### After Playing

- Make sure that the Porsche is not the car shown/selected in your garage in Grid World.
- Go back to RDGModInstaller.exe and uninstall the mod so that everything will go back to normal. (Allowing you to Play Normally Online)

## Known Issues

- Savegame Corrupt After Uninstallation of Mod:
  - This is probably because you left the Porsche selected in your garage. Simply install the mod again, go into your garage and select another car. Then save your profile and exit the game. Now everything should be fine.
  - If you started a tournament in career mode with the mod installed but didn't finish it the game will not work. You will need to finish or quit the tournament you started. Then you may freely uninstall the mod.
- Mod Installer Will Not Work:
  - In this case you will have to install manually. Copy everything from the mod folder into the Grid game folder for installation. For uninstallation simple move the files from the included backup folder into the Grid game folder.
