![]() ![]() Out on the track, you’ll have several things to focus on. Whilst that all sounds exciting and fun – which it very much is! – let’s not forget the real reason we have all been quietly eyeing up RiMS Racing since its reveal, and that is of course the racing. Even the fairing (the shell of the bike) will need replacing at some point when its condition drops enough.Īs for the replacing of the items, you’ll even need to manually mount and unmount each item with various button prompts and presses before shopping for each new part and potentially giving your bike an entirely different look in the process – think Car Mechanic Simulator and you’ll be on the right track. From the windshield to rims, mirrors to exhausts, tires to brake pads, you name it, you’ll be buying and replacing it. To do this, players will need to keep an eye on the many different components of the bike and believe me when I say if it’s on the bike, you’ll probably find yourself having to shell out for it at some point. Skill points are used to fund and upgrade your research, whilst cash will be the defining factor in keeping your bike in tip-top condition. Through the completion of events, you’ll earn cash and skill points. The core focus isn’t just on the racing itself, however, which I’ll get too shortly, but also the mechanical side of how your bike performs – or doesn’t perform – when out on the track. The first season is comprised of 70 events which is by no means a small amount, and throughout the season you’ll be taking part in Sponsored events with rental bikes, track races, point to point races, cups, face-offs and more as you look to build towards the coveted title at the end. Beginning a new Career is as you would expect, you first create your rider and choose your starting manufacturer before being coached into a seasonal race calendar full to the ‘RiM’ (apologies to all) of events for you to complete. ![]() Single Race is pretty self-explanatory, whilst Private Testing aims to provide some customised training sessions whilst removing the threat of opponents, and Academy looks to teach you the more in-depth lessons about how to ride and set up your bike, then there is a tutorial because you can never learn too much.įor most players, Career Mode will be the place you spend the majority of your time and for good reason too. Multiplayer of the Online and Offline variety is also available. Other options include Single Race, Private Testing, Academy and Tutorial. That is of course if you start by jumping into the extensive Career mode offering available. The overall goal of the game is to become the next RiMS Racing World Champion. In RiMS, that’s not that case, they want you racing elbows to the ground from the very first corner, and that is only the start of the excitement. This may not sound like much to start off with, but in any other racing release this year, this alone is a feature that is usually done for you in the background whilst your focus is on the accelerator and the steering, even braking is usually a secondary focus thanks to some sort of assist. This may seem like an unusual way to begin but the reason for this was due to the fact that before I’d even let wheels hit the track, I was expected to master the false start as the race begins by holding in the clutch and watching on as the lights turned to green before timing my launch to perfection to prevent a stall. My opening moments with the game were met with a quick rush to pause followed by a scroll through the available settings because I’d assumed I was being thrust into the hardest difficulty from the off. ![]() RiMS Racing pulls no punches when it comes to offering as realistic a racing experience as possible. Whilst we’ve already the likes of MotoGP 2021 bring top tier racing this year, it’s safe to say that nothing we’ve seen so far, or will likely see for the rest of the year, will match the lofty heights you’ll experience in RiMS. Does it match the high standards that we’ve come to expect from the big hitters in the genre though?Ĭoming from the team over at Raceward Studio and backed by the hefty budget of publisher Nacon, RiMS Racing brings a simulation style racing experience that looks to delve into the world of some of the finest superbikes on the market. Now though, RiMS Racing has arrived, taking a spot on the grid, and looking to take the racing world by storm. Throughout the past several years we’ve seen multiple titles from series such as Ride, Monster Energy Supercross, MotoGP and MXGP all arrive on our consoles, bringing with them some of the finest displays of racing realism you could ever hope to experience without actually taking to the seat of one of those beastly two-wheeled machines in person. ![]()
