GRID Autosport for mobile slows down after I have been playing for a while, what can I do to avoid this?
GRID Autosport for mobile is a graphically intensive game that demands a lot of your device’s processing power; electronic devices get warm when they work hard and will start to slow down. There are a couple of ways to avoid this happening:
Try to avoid charging while playing, because charging also generates heat.
Some device cases, especially those made of rubber or neoprene, can also cause your device to retain heat. If you are planning on an extended play session, consider removing the case.
If your device does slow down, a short break should allow it to recover.

What control methods are available in GRID Autosport for mobile?
There are three different control methods in GRID Autosport for mobile. You can change your control method at any time by selecting Controls from the Pause menu (also accessible from the Main menu under Options & Extras).
When selecting your control method, select Show Controls to see the full control layout (including how to use the handbrake and team orders).
Tilt
Tilt controls are enabled by default. When using Tilt controls, you hold down on the right side of the screen to accelerate, hold down on the left side of the screen to brake, and steer by tilting your device left and right.
The Tilt Pro controls are more sensitive but allow for more precise handling. Alternatively, you can fine-tune the Tilt controls to your liking by selecting Customise Controls; your settings are then saved under the Tilt (Custom) option.
You can also enable Mirrored Mode, which reverses the position of the accelerate and brake controls.
Wheel Touch
Wheel Touch controls add an on-screen steering wheel to the game. When using Wheel Touch controls, you hold down on the lower-right side of the screen to accelerate, hold down on the upper-right side of the screen to brake, and steer by rotating the steering wheel on the left (this appears when you hold down on the left side of the screen).
The Wheel Touch Pro controls are more sensitive but allow for more precise handling. Alternatively, you can fine-tune the Wheel Touch controls to your liking by selecting Customise Controls; your settings are then saved under the Wheel Touch (Custom) option.
You can also enable Mirrored Mode, which reverses the position of the steering wheel and the accelerate/brake controls.
Arrow Touch
Arrow Touch controls add arrow buttons to the left and right of your screen. When using Arrow Touch controls, your car accelerates automatically; hold down anywhere on your screen to brake, and steer using the left and right arrows. Arrow Touch controls are only available in Rookie and Professional difficulty settings, and can only be used with Automatic transmission enabled. You can fine-tune the Arrow Touch controls to your liking by selecting Customise Controls; your settings are then saved under the Arrow Touch (Custom) option.
Alternatively, Arrow Touch Pro controls enable manual throttle control by moving both steering arrows to the left of the screen, and adding a Throttle Slider to the right side.
Auto-accelerate
Auto-accelerate is enabled by default for standard Arrow Touch controls and cannot be disabled.
If you are playing on the Rookie or Professional difficulty settings, you can enable auto-acceleration for Tilt or Wheel Touch controls from the main Controls menu.
Throttle Slider
The Throttle Slider allows for analogue control of speed. Drag the slider up and down to adjust throttle levels and release it to immediately reduce throttle to zero.
The Throttle Slider is available for use with all control schemes except standard Arrow Touch, and may be fine-tuned by selecting Customise Controls.

What transmission options are there in GRID Autosport on iOS?
In GRID Autosport, your transmission is set to Automatic by default unless you are playing on the Master difficulty level. On lower difficulty levels, you can enable Manual transmission by selecting Difficulty Level → Custom Difficulty → Transmission from the Pause menu (also accessible from the Main menu under Options & Extras). When manual transmission is enabled, how you change gears depends on which control method you are using:
Tilt
If you are using Tilt controls, you can manually shift gears by flicking up or down anywhere on the screen. Flick up to shift up a gear, and flick down to shift down.
Wheel Touch
If you are using Wheel Touch controls, you shift gears by gently nudging the top of your device away from or towards you. Nudge the device away from you to shift up a gear, and nudge the device towards you to shift down a gear.
Advanced Options (Tilt controls only)
If you are using Tilt controls, you can select different gear shift control methods in GRID Autosport’s advanced options. To open the game’s advanced options, select Options → Controls → Advanced Options from the Pause menu (also accessible from the Main menu under Options & Extras). The Settings app will open. Under GRID Autosport, select Advanced Control Settings → Tilt Controls → Gear Change Control Method. You will see three different gear change control methods:
Nudge device towards/away from you: Selecting this enables the nudge gear controls (described above under Wheel Touch).
Flick up/down on screen: This is the default option for Tilt controls (described above).
On-screen buttons: Selecting this adds gear shift up and gear shift down buttons to the left and right of your screen.
If you are using Wheel Touch controls, you cannot select a different gear change method, but you can invert the nudge gear changes if you wish (i.e. nudge toward you to shift up, and away to shift down). This option can be found in the Settings app under GRID Autosport → Advanced Control Settings → Wheel Touch Controls.
What are the Graphics, Performance and Performance Plus options, and how do I enable them?
You can select Graphics or Performance options to choose either better graphical detail or higher frame rate. On the 3rd generation iPad Pro or later, you can also select Performance Plus to opt for an even higher frame rate.
These options can be accessed via the Main Menu under Options & Extras → Options → Optimisation, or via the Pause Menu under Options → Optimisation.
Please note: the Graphics and Performance options are available on the iPhone 8 or later and all supported iPads. Performance Plus is only available on the 3rd generation iPad Pro or later.
