Achievement system
Achievements are certain (racing) challenges you can do in the VRC Pro environment, which are done ‘on the
side’ or rather outside of the official racing context and rankings. Achievements have their own rankings and
do not directly affect your racer level. Achievements can help beginners to quickly learn the VRC Pro
environment and progress their racing skills. They are also fun for anyone who isn’t fully ready yet for official
competition, but who wants personal challenges. Achievements also log milestone moments in your racing
history and they increase your immediate awareness of how well you are doing in- and against the community,
be it your friends, racers from your club(s), or other racers who are participating in the same event as you and
who are setting track records and time trial day records at the same track you are driving right now…
Some achievements are general and can be completed regardless of your current car or track selection, or
racer level, for example: the ‘short keys mastery’ achievement. Some achievements are car, track and/or racer
level specific, for example: the ‘driving consistency’ achievement can be completed with different cars on
different tracks. Each combination of track, car, racer level specific achievement can be completed only one
time, but by completing only one of those particular combinations you will close one of the achievements in
your official total achievements list. When you close one achievement ‘officially’ you get the ‘unlocked’
achievement icon displayed on the web overview, even though you’re still getting points for achieving all the
other combinations. For example, the 75% official track record achievement will be displayed as ‘completed’
on your official total achievements overview page (now you completed 1/77 total achievements) whenever
you drive 75% of the current track record at any track using any car. If afterwards you go to another track and
achieve 75% of the current track record for that track, then it won’t increase the total number of official
achievements you completed, yet still points will be added to your total score.
In-game achievement announcements
Whenever you complete an achievement in the game, a small announcement window appears in the top of
the screen displaying information about the achievement. If you don’t want the achievement announcement
window to appear during your racing then you can set it off in Other game options. Upon setting it off, the
game will display all announcements sequentially after the race session when you have returned to the pit
table.
