Characters

**NOTICE: This page is missing some information**

These are the **characters** that appear in the Gear.Club series. Characters appear in the game to help the player progress through the game.

## Description

The characters are people that appear in every Gear.Club game, while their individual roles and overall importance vary. They are there to help the player progress through the games as well to push the story forward.

The characters will appear when needed. They appear with a static image followed by a caption. There are no cutscenes.

Characters are more important in Gear.Club: Unlimited 2 than in the mobile version, Gear.Club: True Racing. This is because Unlimited 2 has a full story, about a car test driver who needs to save his family, and ends up in a world racing championship by chance. True Racing does not have a story, so the characters are there to simply guide the player through the game.

The characters should not be confused with the engineers, who complete tasks in the Performance Shop.

## Characters

### Gear.Club True Racing & Gear.Club Unlimited

These are the characters that appear in Gear.Club: Unlimited and Gear.Club: True Racing. These two games have been combined into one section because Unlimited is a console port of True Racing, and thus, have the same characters.

#### Jo

Main article: Jo

Jo is a racing manager who appears in True Racing and Unlimited. He is the first character the player meets when joining Gear.Club. He helps manage the player and all the events. Jo also assists with getting the player into League events. It can also be inferred that he sets up Flash Events.

Because True Racing and Unlimited do not have a storyline, Jo does not frequently appear after the initial sequences of the game. Once the player has learned how to play, the characters become largely obscure. In True Racing, players can also complete Jo's Missions. If certain challenges are met, the player will be rewarded with currency or Rewinds. The missions refresh every 24 hours.

## Max

Main article: Max

Max is the lead engineer in the Performance Shop in True Racing and Unlimited. She helps the player with technical tasks, such as buying and upgrading cars, building workshops, and hiring engineers. It is likely that she also directs the engineers on the player's behalf, since she is the lead engineer.

However, just like Jo, once the player has learned how to navigate the game, Max's role becomes less important. She will still help the player buy new cars and will warn the player if they attempt to buy more than one of of the same car, to avoid an accidental purchase. In True Racing, players can also complete Max's Missions. If certain challenges are met, the player will be rewarded with currency or Rewinds. The missions refresh every 24 hours.

### Gear.Club Unlimited 2

**WARNING: This section contains plot spoilers for Gear.Club Unlimited 2.**

These are all the characters that appear in Gear.Club: Unlimited 2, as well as it's special releases Porsche Edition and Tracks Edition. Unlimited 2 has a complete storyline, so the characters are much more important and numerous.

## Nadia de Bellis

Main article: Nadia de Bellis

Nadia de Bellis is an engineer and manager for David Niels's racing team in Unlimited 2. She is the first character the player meets. She has the player test drive the MINI John Cooper Works that belongs to Lloyd Luter, but when Luter fails to show up for the race, the player is entered instead and joins Niel's team. Nadia helps the player through the championships as they compete with elite drivers around the world.

Nadia de Bellis presumably fills the role of Max for Unlimited 2, as the lead engineer. She shows the player how to navigate the performance shop.

## David Niels

Main article: David Niels

David Niels is a manager and the head of Niels Racing team. He is introduced to the player after Lloyd Luter fails to race his MINI Cooper and therefore entering the player into the race, but Niels is not pleased. He seems rather annoyed that a test driver is leading, but becomes fond of the player once they prove their worth to his team by winning numerous races and beats well-known drivers. Despite acting mostly neutral toward wealthy and well-known driver Ken Cole, he does not sign him to his team.

Niels and Nadia de Bellis also enter the player into the Endurance Series in Gear.Club: Unlimited 2 - Tracks Edition, employing Simón Botero to assist the player in completing the series successfully for Niel's team.

## Lloyd Luter

#### Lloyd Luter

Lloyd Luter is a racecar driver and very minor character in Unlimited 2. He is only mentioned by name in the first sequences of the game, and is never actually seen. His role in the plot is when he is supposed to race his MINI John Cooper Works in a qualification race for the Gear.Club World Series, but fails to show up due to an unknown reason. This forces Nadia de Bellis to enter the player, a test driver, into the championship. David Niels, the owner of the team, is shocked by the development, but eventually accepts it. After that, Luter is not seen or mentioned again.

## Ken Cole

Main article: Ken Cole

Ken Cole is a well-known racecar driver in Unlimited 2. He is first seen in the first qualification race, when he remarks that the newly-entered player is good, but probably not good enough for David Niels's racing team. Ken Cole seems rather arrogant. He is also very wealthy, and brags about his car collection, which includes an Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV, a Bentley Continental GT, a Dodge Viper SRT, and a McLaren 720S. He is very focused on getting into Niels's racing team, but despite Niels admiring Cole's talent, he is not accepted into the team.

In a later sequence in the game, Ken Cole becomes frustrated with the player's victories, so he challenges them to a race in his 720S. The player wins, an Cole accepts that the player has become a skilled driver, and supports them all the way to the finals. In Unlimited 2 - Tracks Edition, Cole joins Simón Botero in the Endurance Series as a racer, continuing to help the player as they get closer to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

## Sanya Bakshi

Main article: Sanya Bakshi

Sanya Bakshi is a racing official who runs the Porsche Series in Gear.Club: Unlimited 2 - Porsche Edition. She may be a Porsche employee herself. Bakshi does not play a role in the story, instead she guides the player through the Porsche Series. She also assists the player when upgrading and tuning the vehicles needed to complete the event.

Once the player has fully completed the event, Sanya Bakshi awards them with the legendary 1975 Porsche 911 Turbo.

## Simón Botero

Main article: Simón Botero

Simón Botero is an engineer and pit crew member in Gear.Club: Unlimited 2 - Tracks Edition. He is employed by David Niels and Nadia de Bellis to help the player win the Endurance Series for Niel's team. He may be an FIA employee as well, judging by the Le Mans patch on his jacket. Botero is very strategic, and can make predictions on what tires the player should use in a race, as well as how much fuel the car should carry.

When the player finishes the series, Botero awards them with the Ford GT40, a two-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
