Our take on Rainy Day Racer
The rainy city and record celebration receive colorful emphasis, but the racing content is compact: three vehicles and three courses, with part of one course shared. The core activity is repeated time-attack runs across that limited selection.
What is Rainy Day Racer?
Rainy Day Racer is a 3D time-attack racing game set in a Scottish city with constant rain.
Its handling is arcade-style and forgiving, with no collision damage and guided drifting. The game has three vehicles, including a transit van, and three courses; one section is shared between two courses. Leaderboards let players compare records, and downloadable ghosts can be chased during runs. Setting a good record also prompts a woman character to spin and hold up a sign bearing the player’s name. The play structure centers on repeated timed runs across a small set of vehicles and courses.
