The Codemasters Blog announces a new October 11th release date for GRID. This is a slight delay for the fourth installment in this racing series, which was annouced as coming this September. They don't explain the setback, but do reassure purchasers of the Ultimate Edition that the game will race out to them three days early:

Hey team. As first announced earlier today, the release date GRID has now moved to 11th October for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. Buyers of the Ultimate Edition will still receive three days’ early access, being able to play GRID from 8th October. GRID also remains a launch title for the upcoming Google Stadia platform later this year.

With GRID receiving multiple nominations and awards at this year’s E3 event in Los Angeles, including being named ‘Best Racing Game’ by GameInformer and DualShockers, the change has been made to give added exposure to a game we’re hugely excited about. Thank you to our community for sharing in that excitement since we revealed GRID in May, as we add a brand new chapter to this storied racing franchise.

With a little more than three months until launch, our GRID and Codemasters channels will be revealing more information and gameplay and big announcements, with more major news coming In the next couple of days.
