This game actually looks cool. After so long being an avid car racing game collector this might be something different with it's own set of challenges and fun. Man I wish T10 would have included more in forza 7 though, such a shame.

Couldn't agree more! I really enjoyed those 5 or 6 races with the Merc truck. Sure, it was big but it behaved really nicely. One of these days I go to free play and do some races in it, now that I use less assists compared to the time I did that series.

Looking at the gameplay I'm not sure whether I want to deal with the break heating, I understand that it's part of the actual races but hopefully it can be turned off as an assist - please don't hate me, I'm really that bad of a driver :)

(Wouldn't mind that option myself if I just want to hoon about)
 
Physics looks good so far, though sliding seems to be exaggerated, that could be due to the driver using a pad.

Love the temperature display. I can't work out what the % means though, remaining brake pad thickness?
 
I've been after a truck racing title for a long time. Having a truck in GTS would have sufficed. This is looking fairly good but it is a game I need to try before I buy.
 
Video already posted in the main thread, so there's no need to make a redundant thread just for this.

@SlipZtrEm can this be merged?

EDIT: Done. Thanks mods 👍

Had a look at this just to check it out. I really enjoyed that and the game looks fun to drive as well. I was worried there wouldn't be that many tracks seeing as it's not a hugely long season but that's not happened.
 
Oooh was going to ask for console? I may just get it. Could be good on my mental racing resume; truck racing, I’ll jump on my truck Forza 7 for some practice, wish gt sport but no truck I believe :( thanks again gt planet I check these forums daily.

FIA EUROPEAN TRUCK RACING CHAMPIONSHIP

THE GIANTS AWAKEN!​

Lesquin, April 25th, 2019 – Bigben is happy to announce FIA European Truck Racing Championship, the official racing simulation of the ETRC, developed using the KT Engine, a specialised game engine for creating racing simulations (WRC, TT Isle of Man, V-Rally) by n-Racing. The game will be available on PlayStation 4TM, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch™ in July 2019.

FIA European Truck Racing Championship promises a new experience for fans of racing games as well as the large number of trucking simulation fans. Taming an overpowered, 5-tonne monster is entirely different than driving a race car or a motorcycle. It’s an unprecedented challenge that will require some racing game expertise.

In this game, a FIA ETRC race consists of 12 trucks on a circuit, facing off in four sprints of 45 km each, with special passing techniques, physics and inertia distinct from any other type of vehicle, special penalties, and a reservoir of 200 litres of water that must be managed manually to cool your brakes, avoid overheating, and finish the race.

“We are delighted with the quality and attention to detail within the official racing simulation for the FIA ETRC designed and produced by the renowned Bigben company. The techniques employed by those engaging with this educational, fun and detailed software mirror those faced by truck heroes whether on track or on the road. It also shines a light on how skilful and dedicated you have to be in mastering the intricate controls of a large scale vehicle like a truck. We cannot wait to embrace the FIA European Truck Racing Championship when it is launched on multiple formats this July, and we are sure that thousands of ETRC fans will be delighted with this fascinating engagement which will help breed new truck heroes all over the world.” says Georg Fuchs, Director of ETRA

For several years, the championship has grown quickly and draws a larger and larger crowd every year. The amazingly spectacular races have ignited a growing passion for the discipline, and the media gives it wide visibility. The confrontations between these mechanical behemoths takes place across the greatest circuits in Europe such as Le Mans, the Nürbürgring, Misano or the Hungaroring.
