1. Major points
- Please keep in mind that this route is designed for Ultimate version, with VIP 10% money bonus and free GRID edition cars. It will surely not work with Standard edition

- Loading times are not counted, the time we use is game time so don't worry if your run isn't "good enough" with loads, it could be much better than you think without loads. 

-3 corner cuts seems to be permitted before disqualification and max penalty is 5 seconds so it's always worth it to take one shortcut per lap if you found one that makes you win some time. **However some cuts can be counted as two by the game so it's always safer to just stick to 2 cuts per race so you don't dnf**

-This route was performed by me in easiest settings, it will surely not work in harder settings, especially when you have to win some races 

2. Abbreviations list and meaning

- Each event is displayed as (Letters)(Number) (Race name)(Additional info if needed)/(Race... so it's faster to read on Livesplit and easy to understand

-Each letter (or letters) is a race category, the only exception is for showdowns, which are displayed as the team you'll need to beat's name
T: Touring 
G: GT
FA: FA Racing
I: Invitational
WS: GRID World Series

-Each number is the place on the category's list in Career menu 
It goes from 1 to 13 for Touring, GT and FA Racing and you count from left to right 
It goes from 1 to 26 for Invitational and you count from up to bottom then left to right
It goes from 1 to 6 for GRID World Series and you count from left to right

-Some races have knowned shortcuts which have codenames for the type they are:
CCut is Chicane cut, basically going straight out of the track to avoid chicane
GCut is Grass cut, basically cutting a whole series of corners by driving on grass ( or other non track surface)

-Race name displays the location of the race where you have to drive and finish the race 1st. 
The other races of the series, if they exist, are skipped by pressing start when race starts and abandon immediatly 
When events host several races in same location, circuit name is written instead
When no race name is displayed, it's beacause the event has only one race

Route for Season 1 - Any%

# Points to keep in mind
* Please note that this route is designed for the GRID (2019) Ultimate Edition. Using the Standard Edition will require a different route.
* Skipping a race means retiring (NOT quitting) when the race countdown says "GO!".
* You will notice that the order of what cups to do first seems to be all over the place. It's intended to be that way to save time loading the races, as the loading time for races on the same track is much shorter than on differing ones. Sometimes it's not possible to connect cups with the same tracks because it's not possible to purchase the required car at that point.
* On some tracks you may use shortcuts. The limit per race is twice, more than that will get you disqualified from the race, which means you'll need to restart it.
