The driving difficulty and many unique race features have been faithfully reproduced with the KT Engine (WRC). In ETRC, like on real-life race tracks, you need to control the temperature of your brakes so they don’t overheat.

FIA European Truck Racing Championship is an excellent glimpse into a facet of motor racing seldom seen.
It might lack the glitz and glamour of Formula One or Moto Gp, but don’t hold that against it. We’re going to keep playing this quite a while yet. Recommended.- All this publication’s reviews

Finally! Proof that racing trucks might be just as much fun as racing any other vehicle. The graphics feel a bit underwhelming though and empty online servers are always a bummer.

An admirably niche racing game which gets the look and feel of truck racing just right, but manages to get the single player career experience all wrong.

I love that FIA European Truck Racing Championship exists and I really hope such a niche title finds the right audience. Developer N-RACING has been faithful to the essence of truck racing, but it hasn’t been able to create the structure, close fighting, nor personality the series has to offer. Variety is good, and I really hope they can work on an improved sequel. For now, once the novelty has worn off, you are left with a pretty lifeless game.

Race with trucks needs a lot about to break and control tires, water and not damage engine. The game has a really nice graphics and the gameplay is enjoyable, maybe because you can race in different styles. If you are hardcore, change the gears, take care about the tires and control the water to refresh the break.
The IA is not that line, they make mistake, change the pace. There are 12 known tracks I guess.
I really recommend to racing fans, a totally new way to drive.
Just the need to improve… Expand-

FIA European Truck Racing Championship — PS4 Review
in PS4 / Reviews tagged etrc / my love for you is like a truck / racing trucks by Ian
This reviewer has their comfort zone, typically we go for quirky indie platformers or puzzle games that are best suited to short gameplay bursts.
But occasionally it’s nice to push your boundaries and play something a bit different. To wit, FIA European Truck Racing Championship from developer N-1 Racing by way of publisher Big Ben Interactive is one we’d typically leave for our man Mike.
But we’re really glad we took a punt here as FIA ETRC is a window into what you might deem to be a slightly less glamorous facet of motor racing. Based as it is on the European championship promotion, the roster of drivers is largely made up of the real-world participants of the series. For example, fans of Jochen Hahn, the five-time championship winner are well catered for.
Unlike Big Ben stablemate Tour De France 2019, driver likenesses aren’t an issue as helmets remain firmly on throughout. So no weird clone line-ups on the podium in this case, but balding middle aged men would be a welcome videogame depiction.
We’d usually grumble at a mandatory licence section, but in the case of ETRC, we welcomed it as it was a great primer to the somewhat idiosyncratic handling a five-tonne racing truck exhibits.
For a start, a five-tonne tractor unit is a bit front heavy due to the cab area containing the engine and passenger cabin. Subsequently braking is a bit more of a fine art than on a smaller vehicle, the brakes generating a fair bit of heat. That heat has to go somewhere, in this case brakes are manually water cooled by the driver.
In the case of ETRC this is implemented by tapping , we have to confess during our introductory race we found ourselves off the track more often than not. When prompted to cool our brakes we were more than slightly baffled.
Thankfully the excellent licence section serves as a worthy tutorial, its arbitrary nature being great preparation for the race series itself. It introduces the brake cooling mechanic in detail as well as getting you used to braking distances involved here. It brings to mind the classic Gran Turismo licence tests a little, only instead of a small saloon car you’re throwing around a rather larger vehicle.
Upon completing this section, you’ll unlock career mode proper which grants you access to the real life eight race ETRC series and a few tracks outside Europe bundled up into the six race World series. We concentrated on the former option as that’s the main focus here.
Beginning as a rookie driver you’ll first be thrown into a practice at one of the tracks on the calendar. Your general performance here is ostensibly to get a one race contract with a small outfit for the forthcoming first race weekend of the championship. In reality you’ll generally only be able to sign with one of three or so teams, your initial consideration being how many reputation points you’re likely to garner by racing with them. The better your reputation, the better your chances of locking down a contract with a better team.
You can choose whether to run races at full distance as well as choose difficulty at the outset, though given each venue has two qualifying events spread across the four races that comprise a race weekend, we chose quarter distance for reasons of expediency.
If you qualify well enough in the initial session, you’ll move to the Super Pole to try and gain pole position proper, though we’ve yet to achieve that goal. The AI drivers are a bit odd in terms of times set. Our first qualifying had us place tenth with a good mistake free lap, but we improved our time marginally during the super pole session and found ourselves third on the grid.
In our second qualifying session of the weekend we destroyed our previous best, yet found ourselves eighth on the grid and had to fight through to first place. It all seems a bit pot luck, especially when fast qualifying times by the AI don’t translate to fast race pace.
Eventually you’ll start a race proper lining up with a full field of opposing racers. As is typical of single seat formulae, the initial scramble to the first corner can often prove the most chaotic period of any race, the same applying here. There’s bumping and nudging here, but any significant impact is penalised with a time penalty.
Just as hitting one penalty marker by cutting a corner doesn’t elicit a penalty, hit a second and you’ll get thirty seconds applied to your final race time. Given you’ll do well to get a ten second lead even on beginner difficulty, this generally elicits a restart. Thankfully you can restart a race without penalty, this makes for a more forgiving outcome than crashing out through no fault of your own in a first corner collision.
There are also penalties for exceeding 99mph (aka 160kmh), we expect in the interests of real-world safety, though generally you won’t be able to reach those sorts of speeds in race situations. At least not in the stock trucks without any upgrades applied anyway. However punitive this may feel, it’s refreshing in a racing game for your infractions to be treated with harsh penalties as you won’t do it again.
Each race weekend is split into four races, broken up by two qualifying sessions. These never feel like a chore, as unlike the endless parade of F1 games, the tracks are largely unfamiliar to all but the most hardened racing game fan.
Completing a race weekend gives you a nice summary of your progress across the four races along with an indicator of your team’s morale. In the event you’ve just completed a one weekend contract, this seems a little irrelevant. We managed three first places and a fourth and weren’t offered a contract extension for doing so. This feels bit silly, but reflects the gig culture many privateer drivers probably find themselves in.
Those of you used to the likes of Codemasters’ F1 or Dirt series may find themselves put off by the somewhat spartan presentation on display here, but this reviewer finds the lack of extras refreshing, having long since switched off from the likes of the Forza series on Xbox.
Anyone else, enjoy FIA ETRC for what it is, an accomplished depiction at niche motor racing seldom seen outside Eurosport or as part of “wackiest racing crashes ever ever ever!!!” viral videos. The four races per weekend and fourteen individual tracks make for a lengthy lifespan, comparable with any other game.
You might get bored driving the same track four times over, but to be honest if that happens this probably isn’t the game for you.
In conclusion, FIA European Truck Racing Championship is an excellent glimpse into a facet of motor racing seldom seen. It might lack the glitz and glamour of Formula One or Moto GP, but at least it’s not Formula E. That we’d not wish on anyone. We’re going to keep playing this quite a while yet.

TOP 5 best PS4 racing games — 2023 racing simulator rating
Racing is exciting. In reality, not everyone can afford to even go karting, and having a console, everyone can feel like Schumacher at the helm.
This collection contains the 5 best car simulators that impress with realism, because the appearance of the cars and the controls are worked out with a bang. All games in the ranking are suitable for PS4. But not every one of them is exclusive: there are options that are compatible with other platforms.
Project Cars 3
This car simulator sets the arcade drive. The player can still fine-tune the car, but you can win the race even without a tuned “iron friend”.
The main thing is to learn how to manage.
Project Cars 3 has four features:
1. Mode Variation
Fans of «digging around» can change parts, down to candles and pads, tracking how they affect speed and handling. Fans of «choose and go» can limit themselves to the basic choice of «automatic or mechanic» and leave everything by default.
2. Ability to create your own race
You can climb the career ladder and customize the race for yourself in a quick game.
3. Dynamic weather change
In the classic version, the player could choose the conditions on the track, but now it changes during the race, which complicates the management.
4. An unusual system for obtaining new cars
You don’t have to be the first to arrive — just complete the tasks.
The game is suitable for those who love racing and experiments, but do not want to strain. It’s still pretty realistic, yet easy to play even for those new to the racing genre.

DriveClub
In the initial version of DriveClub 2021, a basic tour is available, which consists of 5 mini-tours. In total, the game has 225 main tasks and 45 bonus races as part of the Startline tour.
Several single modes are also present:
- Race
You need to come first to the finish line among the whole group.
- Time check
Need to be on time in a limited time.
- Draft
Spectacular cornering.
- Sprint
Get the hang of overcoming all the «points» in a short time.
After completing all levels, the player will earn a technopark of 45 machines. If you want to get additional content (22 additional tours, a motorcycle game mode and 3 bonus biker tours), you will have to work hard.
You need to find DLC (add-ons) Driveclub Bikes and Driveclub Season Pass and buy them from online retailers. Downloading directly from the PlayStation store will not work, the former development team went to work in another studio.
The game itself impresses with its photorealism. It will appeal to those who do not like aggressive driving. Opponents here are loyal, they do not lead astray, and if a player tries to “maim” a competitor’s car, he will be penalized. Breathtaking views and dynamic change of the time of day looks bewitching — you just want to stop and admire the masterpiece of sunrises and sunsets.

F1 2020
In terms of control, the game remains the same as the already classic F1 2018. And this is a good strategy — since millions of players like control, why “break, just to build something” ?!
Among the features — five main ones.
1. Light Duty
A super-simplified mode for creating and tuning cars. The levels of the game are not severe.
2. My team mode
Now you can create not only the main pilot, but also a team and go through an “extended” career variation with it, thinking about management, communication with sponsors and development.
3. Split screen mode
It was last seen in 2014. Now again you can play together on one TV.
4. 2 new tracks
Hanoi is characterized by high-speed straights and unusual turns. Zandvoort has become faster, it has a new surface, the proportions of zones and angles of inclination have been changed.
5. When communicating with journalists, you will have to think about the answers
Each word addressed to the «sharks of the pen» changes game events.
The new version of Formula 1 continues to carry the banner of «one of the best racing games on PS and PC.
» The reason is simple — the developers leave what the players liked and gradually expand the universe without complicating it. As a result, the game is liked not only by racing fans, but also by those who first got behind the wheel of a game.

DiRT 5
Dirtiest Game of the Collection! And in it, the developers have finally passed the crisis of self-determination. If in DiRT 4 they tried to do everything at once, there will be no vague rallies with a scattering of rules, but only solid races in a variety of cars.
Differs from the previous part in the following features:
- Vibrant soundtrack and visual
If DiRT 4 was muted in every way, this is a return to the classic DiRT 2 aesthetic.
After each race, there is a podcast that discusses the highlights of the race.
- New Physics
The player feels every bump and weight transfer. Even light pressure on the pedal can affect the movement of the car.
- More «lively» rivals
They fight, cut, turn around at the most inopportune moment. Sometimes races are interrupted by group accidents.
- Pathfinder mode
The player is given an incredibly capricious buggy in which he will have to storm hills, mountains and difficult roads.
This game is sure to appeal to all fans of arcade racing. Here you will not play with hundreds of detailed car settings, but you will get exciting races on the most beautiful tracks in the world.

She has great chances to stay in the TOP of races even in 2022. And all because Polyphony Digital’s love for car business is felt here.
Gran Turismo Sport stands out with the following features:
- No career mode
Racing only. Only hardcore. No need to wait until some thing is unlocked in the course of the story — everything is available immediately after completing the tutorial.
- Smart School of Learning
Game physics are complex and realistic. The school teaches the subtleties and «gives» cars as a prize.
- Fine tuning
Here you can set the “assistant” and automatic transmission or bother with pumping the car yourself. As experience shows, if you customize the car yourself, the chances of winning become higher.
- Behavior in multiplayer affects progress
The more a player scorches, the lower his rating.
