If you starting from the back, you will have to dodge and weave through a bunch of riders who are either bumping into each other or you.Ĭonsidering there are no set classes, I found myself going into races with an overpowered M1000RR, and the AI simply just couldn’t keep up under the braking and accelerating. Typically, the leaders will start pulling away as the pack gets separated into smaller groups. The Career Mode offers an unnecessary amount of wet racing conditions and the AI doesn't make this any easier. Speaking of crashes, that will be happening a lot throughout the game. This allows players to look at the wear on their bike parts at any point of the race, so long as you’re not in the middle of a crash. Winning a race under these conditions depends on how well you can manage your tyres (and other parts), which can be easily monitored thanks to the game’s Motorbike Status Check. This not only puts your skills as a rider to the test, but also just how well you can micromanage everything under unforeseen circumstances. Each and every choice you make actively impacts your chances at winning a race. Racing in extreme wet weather or just a slightly wet track has to be taken into account while setting up your bike. These decisions are significantly impacted by the condition of the track. Your limits of grip and maintaining speed constantly changes based on the individual parts on the bike, as well as its wear and tear. Or you can ride conservatively, staying with the pack, and reduce the wear on your parts.

You can full send it and push the bike to its absolute limits through the race, forcing you to nurse it towards the end. Depending on the manufacturer’s parts you opt for, this can significantly impact how each race in the game is handled.

With over 500 officially licenses bike parts in the game, this can be a handful at times and overwhelming for those who are new to the motorcycle racing scene. This means players are expected not only to perform on the track, but to subconsciously think about the abuse they’re putting on their bikes. You have to keep a close eye on these parts because they’re essential to maintaining peak performance, and gives you a rather quick glance at the difficulties of managing a racing team.Įverything - and I mean everything - on the bike is upgradable.ĭepending on your riding style (and how often you crash), parts will wear quickly. Everything - and I mean everything - on the bike is upgradable, ranging from the basics such as tyres, brakes, and exhausts, to the more attentive details such as the chain, sprockets, and even the brake fluid. Each of the eight motorcycles on offer has been impeccably recreated to represent the differences and nuance of each model. The focus will be on testing setups, upgrading and maintaining the bike after each race. Not only are you expected to be an impeccable racer on the track, but you’re also required to be a mechanic and an engineer all-in-one. That being said, all your spending goes into parts for your bike.
Your first bike is free, with the rest having to be unlocked throughout the Career Mode.
Rather than bombarding you with a variety of motorcycles, RiMS Racing prioritizes making the bike your own. Players will be responsible for testing, upgrading, and modifying the bike of choice. RiMS Racing is heavily dependent on its Career Mode to really flesh out the experience as well as truly understand the level of depth that each bike holds. I know that it doesn’t sound like much, but it only appears that way in face value. The game features only eight licensed superbikes such as BMW M1000RR, Suzuki GSXR-1000, Honda CB1000 RR, Yamaha YZF R1, Kawasaki Ninja ZX10 RR, Aprilia RSV4, MV Agusta F4 RC, and the Ducati Panigale V4R.
