RACE - The WTCC Game

RACE - The WTCC Game is for players who want touring-car racing rather than glamorous supercar fantasy. By our assessment, its real strength is the discipline of that category: close pack racing, careful braking, and the constant need to keep a car tidy over a lap. That same focus narrows it, because this is not the broad kind of motorsport game that mixes many classes and toys with arcade flash. In practice it should feel like a serious racing sim or sim-lite entry where the satisfaction comes from holding speed cleanly. Compared with more famous circuit racers, it is likely to feel more specialised and less showy, which is exactly the point. It is a fit for people who like WTCC-style competition and not for anyone chasing all-out spectacle.
