Formula Truck 2013

I'm presuming these are limited to 100mph/160kph as per the racing trucks in the UK? I'm guess that is the only 'aid' as such...

I'm not sure if they're restricted because afaik these trucks were designed to be racing whereas British and other racing trucks were converted to race

Looked on wiki and it seems they are limited to 160km/100mph.

Looked on wiki and it seems they are limited to 160km/100mph.

Interesting Do they reach that speed regularly or is their top speed lower than that ?

 

[Robin Durrant]

They hit it a fair bit. I think it's more of a safety feature.

 

[Kevin McDonald]

I'm sure someone will come up with a mod soon enough to disable - that's if we're brave enough

The 160km/h limit is from the European Truck Racing Championship, i dont think that the Formula Truck has the same limit.

category actually has a radar on a point on the track where the maximum speed must be 160 Km / h above that speed you take a drive thru.

I believe it is difficult to make a radar system to punish when going over 160 Km / h in sections demarcated radar but who knows reiza surprised and create this system that really is to prevent a major accident at the end of a line

Been a big Formula Truck fan for a while now (purely through watching highlight videos on youtube which I don't understand ), and I'm in no doubt that this will be a fantastic game. I definitely agree with Kevin that they will take a while to get used to. In terms of the specifics of their handling, I reckon the key to driving them quick will be to get comfortable with sliding them out of the corner with so much power going to the rear tires. Can't wait!

I am bit scared, that change from Available late January to Available soon on their site no more means late January, but someday soon . I hope, I am wrong ...

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Pretty common in sim racing, nothing to worry about. Probably ironing out some last minute obstacles before we can fire up those monsters

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

According to those same videos is seems that sliding the cars into a corner seems the best way to brake

 

[Robin Durrant]

Still showing as late January on the webpage.

Can anyone confirm if it is any different?

 

[Robin Durrant]

I'm also expecting a lot of contact..... Maybe not intentional but contact all the same.

I'm sitting at the back...

 

[Matej Lakota]

That`s what I can see last 14 days.

 

[ledfoot57]

Yeah, I'm with you there! My strategy will be to let the field sort things out early and then work my way up front.

What am I expecting? . . . FUN!

 

[Scott Webber]

Guys be patient, it comes when it comes

if it was delayed by mere weeks then im sure something would be said, so no announcement must mean something good i guess

Until thursday I believe in late January!
