Renault Trucks has launched a new, highly realistic PC based truck racing game, that can be downloaded for free from the company’s website at www.renault-trucks.com/truckracing. The new game is based on the race performances of a real Renault Premium race truck, equipped with a DXi 13 engine.
Players of the game will find themselves at the wheel of a 1,110hp Premium racing truck with 5,100Nm of torque. A series of warm-ups and time trials are available to help players get the feel of the truck, before entering a lifelike race.
The new PC game features three levels of difficulty and aspiring truck drivers can select the ‘pro’ mode and remove the ESP, ABS and ASR to go for the manual gearbox!
The Truck Racing by Renault Trucks game comes hard on the heels of the major success enjoyed by the manufacturer’s home-grown truck racing simulators at the 2008 Hanover Show. This free web-based version means that the experience can be shared with the largest possible number of people.
The new game was developed by an independent Lyon-based company, Game Seed (created in 2005 by four former employees of the famous Infogrames Studio).
