Hi everyone,
This summer 2008, we've been developing a Truck Racing game for Renault Trucks
It's been shown on the IAA trade show in Hannover, Germany, and was very successful, thanks to the D-Box motion seats.
3 gaming seats have been set up, and the real pilots of the Frankie team have tested the game and have found that the behavior of the trucks where very realistic.
In the mean time, the development of NSR is on its way : the multi beta update is nearly ready and some improvements have been added to the game.
We'll keep you informed as soon as possible.
You can have a look at this event with the videos and pictures that you'll find here:

When we were proposed to do this project, we thought "Truck Racing" = slow, not powerful, not interesting.
In fact it's all the contrary. These trucks weight 5.5 tons, have 1100 Horse Power and a couple of 5100 Nm (the fastest car in the world, the Bugatti Veyron, has 1250 Nm, and the most powerfull Renault Clio car has 300 Nm).
The trucks are drifting a lot (especially when the tires are worn), it's really cool, and the multiplayer races are just furious (when two monsters of 5 tons are colliding, it's not a joke).

This game is a new seed that we have added to our portfolio, and we hope it will lead to other opportunities.
We'd like to thank Renault Trucks for having trusted us, and to Ike Fast, who is animating the stand with a lot of humor and professionalism (and have you noticed the last name of that guy )
