The competitions take place on 8 routes set in 8 countries - the tracks have night and day variants.

Technical aspects

The visuals in Truck Racer clearly indicate the low-cost nature of production. the vehicle models are characterized by a small amount of detail, and the racing tracks are very modest. The only advantage is the system of damage and deformation of a vehicle's body and the possibility of watching race replays.
