See the minimum recommendations. You can also try lowering the graphics a bit. Regarding graphics, I got to agree that GRID is just perfect. But the handling really is bad, and I've been a long time race-game addict. I've done nearly all NFS series, Burnout, Gran Turismo and a lot of the big names. But GRID is really in a category apart. It's really like an arcade games, like those you play at Kiddyland or something. It's not really good. And the cars do behave abnormally. Come'on! Cars don't do mad spins when driving on grass, nor do they do it on sand. They just go straight through. The handling is just weird. At least it was for me, and lots of other players who complained about the handling. If I had to compare, I'd say the handling is like rally games a bit, but still too difficult, specially when the AI is ramming your behind.
