Game keeps telling me "essential controls have been left unassigned" and I can't bind anything.
I can't bind any of my devices except for my wheel which I don't even have set up right now. I can't bind my keyboard nor controller. Why? Well, because the game REQUIRES that I bind "Gear 1", "Gear 2", etc. like I have an H-Shifter when I don't. And because the game considers these "essential bindings", I can't bind anything and it won't let me continue, it tells me to either edit my setup or revert to previous bindings. Even the presets don't let me continue as these are left unbound. And attempting to bind these gear buttons manually on any button doesn't do anything, it just stays unassigned.

This is pissing me off. And after hours of extensive research, I am apparently the first person to come across this issue.

just solved it with help from post dated 2014 year. you need to go to game folder (steamapps\common\GRID Autosport\input)
and edit with any text editor .xml files keyboard.xml or xinput_pad_0.xml or file named after your steering wheel. find string "<!-- In Game Actions -->" and add below following strings:
</Action>
<Action id="Gear 1">
<Axis id="" />
</Action>
<Action id="Gear 2">
<Axis id="" />
</Action>
<Action id="Gear 3">
<Axis id="" />
</Action>
<Action id="Gear 4">
<Axis id="" />
</Action>
<Action id="Gear 5">
<Axis id="" />
</Action>
<Action id="Gear 6">
<Axis id="" />
</Action>
<Action id="Gear 7">
<Axis id="" />
</Action>
<Action id="Gear Reverse">
<Axis id="" />
</Action>

save changes, and after that you will be able bind keys to this actions in game. i mapped digits on keyboard to gears and it worked.
