Rims racing videos1/6/2024 There you'll find some of that same pliability to the rides as found in the excellent Isle of Man games, with a slightly more brutal edge. Perhaps it's coming from four wheels and having to relearn lines around familiar tracks and remembering that when bikes take to the likes of Suzuka and Silverstone there's some subtle layout changes to get your head around, but still Rims is at its best when it takes to the open roads that make up half of its track list. There are three levels of assists available, complete with one that pairs the front and rear brakes, but you'll still have to proceed with extreme caution - and no matter what difficulty level you pick you'll still have to contend with a manual clutch at every race start. Unlike the open armed TT Isle of Man 2, Rims doesn't care much for beginners. They're widowmakers all, bikes that will buck and bolt under your fingers and fling you into the scenery for even the slightest discrepancy. There are only eight bikes available in Rims, but it doesn't muck about with any mortal machinery - instead you're put straight into the top tier machinery such as the Ducati Panigale V4 or Yamaha R1. And it goes to some very curious places with it. This shares foundations - and some technology, I believe - with its stablemate TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge, but whereas Kylotonn Racing's effort takes the legendary Snaefell Mountain course and builds outwards from it, Rim's real concern is focussed inwards on the bike itself. Which is probably why Rims, an all-new, surprisingly hardcore bike sim from upstart studio RaceWard, is a very different kind of racing game - stubborn and prickly, sure, but not without a certain gruff charm. ![]() Availability: Out now on PC, Xbox, Switch and PlayStation.I was as taken aback as anyone by the drama around MotoGP rider Maverick Vinales and his Yamaha team these past few weeks, until Motorsport magazine's erudite Mat Oxley pointed out such is the way with riders, with tales of race secretaries being dangled from second floor windows and senior engineers having entire dinner services upended in their laps. Those that take their automotive thrills on two wheels rather than four have always been a very different breed.
