CLASSIC RACERS ELITE REVIEW DRIVERS

Team management is completely bare-bones: second drivers unlock as you progress through the game, but you can sign them at any point, and none improve over time, so there’s a very clear “best”. The touted team aspect of the game leaves a lot to be desired. Thankfully the AI is genuinely challenging, though we found it slightly more by-the-books than the raucous preview build we tried last month. That’s because the races are all so short that the only way most players could win is to start up front.

Qualifying is a welcome addition in an arcade title, but it’s also necessary in the harder difficulties.

Thankfully, Codemasters has said new locations are incoming as part of the DLC plan, and they’ll arrive free of charge. Different times of day and the inclusion of rain might alleviate this slightly - and running tracks like Brands Hatch and Silverstone in reverse is fun - but GRID desperately needs more variety in the track list. Nonetheless, the paucity of locations means you’ll feel that sense of “been here, done that” quite early on. Don’t let its age fool you: Zhejiang feels old in the right way, a far cry from modern Tiilke-dromes in its winding, undulating layout. It also introduces Zhejiang, which only opened a few years ago. On the real-world side, GRID serves as a reminder that Sydney Motorsport Park is criminally underrepresented in the racing genre. The design of the fantasy tracks is solid too, with franchise debuts Havana and Shanghai providing challenging layouts and eye-catching backdrops.

The mix is good, with an even split between real and fantasy (the latter gets Okutama in track form plus a touge-like point-to-point). It's an impressive set up and for the sales tag it's being marketed at - worth the look.It’s the game’s dozen-plus-one tracks that let the side down. However, it's still a ton of bang for not that much buck.Īll in all this was a great buy and I strongly encourage folks to take the Shadow 2K3 into consideration when looking for their next rig. It is definitely freefly friendly and tops all around.Ĭons: As I stated it comes in one color and you are limited on any other bells and whistles. Other Pros: Along with my customized cap I was able to get a low profile ripcord handle, a pull out pilot chute and pud handle, kill line pilot chute, snap toggles (LOVE THESE), and it comes with magnetic riser covers (LOVE THESE). This is going to be my main ride for the next 5-10 years. It's going to hold up and for quite awhile. I inspected and tugged on every part of this rig. So even though it's like a Ford Model-T when it comes to color, 'You can have any color you want - as long as it is black,' I was still able to give it my own personal branding and for relatively cheap.ģrd - CONSTRUCTION - Very Solid. BINGO! Parachute Labs & company were also kind enough to allow me to tag on a custom reserve pilot chute cap to my rig for a few more bucks.

I've put on/jumped numerous rigs but my 2K3 trumps them all.Ģnd - COST - $1,500.00. It molds to my back and hugs over my shoulders like only a Racer can.

BINGO - made one of my better skydiving decisions!ġst - COMFORT - I fits like a glove! I'm 5''11, 200lbs, jump a 150 main/reserve and this thing was cut perfectly to my measurements. Eventually I decided I'd rather just have two Racers and ordered a Shadow 2K3. After awhile I made the custom rig my backup and my 3rd hand Racer my go to ride. Over the next few months I gradually found myself wearing the Racer more often than my custom rig because it was just that much more comfortable. Looked around and got a 'steal deal' on a 3rd hand Racer Elite set up. History: I was on my 2nd custom rig (no need to disclaim whom) for the last three years but wanted a backup rig for camera work.
