There can’t be much in motorcycling which isn’t included in the motorcycle simulator from Mad Cow, as now TrackDayR Update 1.0.108.78 adds Trials and new tracks. One of the venues is the X-TRIAL circuit filled with obstacles to tackle in the fastest possible time. The other is the fictional French location of Saint-Denis, with both Tarmac and Supermoto layouts available.
If you’re not familiar with trials riding, the aim is to clear a route of seemingly impossible obstacles with precise control of both motorcycle and rider position. And having had tuition from seven-times world outdoor, and five times indoor, champion Dougie Lampkin in the past, I can vouch for the incredible skill required.
So while it took me a day to learn how to make it over simple logs and ditches, now I can see if I understood enough to tackle shipping containers and concrete pipes without any risk to myself, or my pride.
Along with the new Trails bike, helmet and track, the update also adds the two Saint-Denis layouts, plus a new electric Supermoto HSM-E bike. And there are also now fully-customisable first and third person cameras included in TrackDayR, letting you decide things like the helmet attachment point (head, neck or chest).
