RaceRoom Racing Experience is a free-to-play racing sim, and among the free content included is an excellent HillClimb car and fantasy track.
One of the impressive features of RaceRoom Racing Experience is its free-to-play model. The core game is free through Steam and includes several cars and tracks as base game content. Further content can be purchased a la carte, but the base game content is impressive and should provide many hours of entertainment. Among this free content is a fantasy HillClimb course, and a legendary HillClimb car.
The free HillClimb track is called Lakeview Hillclimb. It’s a 10.6-kilometer-long trek through a fictitious setting influenced by Swedish forests. It doesn’t have the elevation change from start to finish that you might expect from a Hill Climb course, but there are numerous, sudden dips and bumps that challenge your car’s grip. The road itself is two-lanes wide and paved, and its prevalent twists and turns through the forest create a pervasive threat of close calls with trees and roadside rock faces.
RaceRoom’s free Hill Climb car is the 134 Judd V8. The late Georg Plasa drove this car in real life for the 2011 European HillClimb Championship. The car features a 3.4L V8 engine that revs to 12,000 RPM. Its scream echoing off the sides of the Lakeview HillClimb creates an excellent ambience and gives a further sense of speed for the run. The car is light but manages to generate massive amounts of downforce thanks to its exaggerated wings, canards and diffusers. Driving the vehicle at Lakeview is an exercise in bravery, as the limits of the traction are almost impossible to find, and instead the HillClimb run time is usually limited by how hard you’re willing to attack the many blind high-speed corners.
In the video below, I test out the free RaceRoom 134 Judd at Lakeview.
