**Why *Ducati World Racing Challenge* Needs to Be on GOG and Why It's an Underrated Classic** *Ducati World Racing Challenge*, originally released in 2001, is a hidden gem in the world of motorcycle racing games. Unlike many titles of its era that focused solely on arcade thrills or strict simulation, this game struck a balanced chord between realism and fun, making it accessible for both newcomers and veteran racing fans. What makes it stand out is its official licensing with Ducati, one of the most prestigious motorcycle brands in the world. The game featured a wide selection of Ducati bikes—ranging from vintage models to cutting-edge superbikes of the time—allowing players to experience the evolution of Ducati performance. Tracks were diverse, ranging from international racing circuits to unique fictional environments, each offering a different challenge. Its physics engine, while not perfect, had a distinct weight and feel that made bike handling rewarding once mastered. What really gave *Ducati World Racing Challenge* its charm was the dedication to the brand. It wasn't just a racing game; it was a celebration of Ducati. The game also included a “Ducati Life” mode, where players worked their way up the ranks in a career-style progression—something rarely seen in bike racers of the early 2000s. Releasing it on GOG would help preserve this forgotten title, giving modern players a chance to enjoy its nostalgic charm. With some light compatibility tweaks for modern systems and optional controller support, it could easily shine once again. It’s time for *Ducati World Racing Challenge* to take its rightful place among the classics in GOG’s library.
