Our take on GP Bikes
The listing emphasizes detailed physics, changing track conditions, modding tools, and online racing, but the current stock offering is limited to one bike. It also explicitly excludes AI opponents and a career mode, so the experience centers on solo practice, user-created content, and online competition.
What is GP Bikes?
GP Bikes is a motorcycle simulator built around a physics engine for modeling bike behavior and setup options.
It supports LAN and online races, including dedicated servers, and records event data for rider statistics. The simulation includes tyre behavior, chassis flex, changing track grip, wet surfaces that dry dynamically, and debris picked up by tyres. Riders can select gestures, customize bike, helmet, and suit designs, and export telemetry as CSV files. A plugin interface can send live bike data to external programs. Advanced users receive tools and documentation for creating tracks, bikes, helmets, and other content. The game supports Oculus Rift, SteamVR, FreeTrack, and EDTracker. Stock content currently includes one bike, with no AI or career mode.
