Race Condition

Race Condition is a game where you get to tour the world and get some open wheel racing done on a variety of tracks and conditions.

Gamers have a choice of World Tour, Quick Race and Time Trial, World Tour is a tough nut to crack as wins are hard to obtain at the beginning as a German named Dickmann is in your way.

I wonder if Dickmann is Schumacher, would make a lot of sense as he’s a dominant driver.

World Tour also serves as a story because as you open up more tracks, a little story emerges about you and Dickmann.

You have to be a little callous early on to win a race, find a way to nudge Dickmann into a wall or off the track to get enough time to take the lead by a couple of hundred metres.

Pit stops in the race are done by just going through a yellow section in the pits in the longer races, the longer you stay in the yellow zone, the more fuel you’ll get, and this is important as you don’t to get caught short later in the race.

There is damage, you will find that your car acts like it is being seized and you could find yourself being flung off the end of the main straight if you take too many hits.

Wet races are difficult, you can barely see where you’re going in them as you can see in the screenshot, you’re just going at top speed and suddenly there’s a turn appearing through the rain.

It is important to be on the accelerator as the camera goes through the grid, as soon as it gets to your car it is go time.

It is also important to remember that track limits are not tightly enforced, you can take some shortcuts that shaves a couple of seconds a lap off your time so be adventurous early on to find the advantages.

Overall, this is a fun little game, try not to hit any cars on the opening lap and the chances of victory will increase as you need every clean second to get up there.
