Cooling the brakes with a blast of water after a big hairpin is vital, although I never came close to running out my water tank even in a full-length race. Your brakes are going to howl so much that you’ll think you’re damaging the vehicle for sure. Racing a 5-ton semi delivers a sense of driving something beyond its limits in a way that delicate Formula One and macho NASCAR cars simply cannot illustrate in their video games. There is a distinct, understandable challenge to piloting one of the two types of big rigs in the game, and the trucks snarl and belch and whine with personality through every turn. Let’s start with the good news, though: The racing action is. But FIA European Truck Racing Championship, by N-1 Racing and Bigben Interactive, is so conspicuously stripped-down in some departments that it doesn’t inspire much hope that post-release support will make it a guilty pleasure worth defending.
I was prepared for a no-frills, modestly budgeted piece of entertainment, in other words. I was drawn to FIA European Truck Racing Championship mainly because it looked like something unemployed people used to watch on ESPN at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, between the World’s Strongest Man and a darts tournament.
