OBS 1: Brief explanation of Formula Truck Speed Trap rule: every Formula Truck layout has a Speed Trap in a section of the track (usually the fastest, its location being indicated by the icon on its track map, by the flashing icon on top left corner as you approach it while driving, and by a line of cones trackside) through which drivers are supposed to cross going no faster than 160 km/h. Exceeding 160 km/h through the Speed Trap will result in the lap being invalidated in practice/qual, or an instant drive-through penalty in races. Players may opt to switch the rule off from the Rules menu.

OBS 2: Formula Trucks chop off their 1st gear so it skips straight to 2nd; if you are using an H-Shifter you start from 2nd, which is also very short. Typically on track, you´ll only use 3rd-6th.

OBS 3: F-Truck diesel smoke from the exhaust is still being worked on and has not been implemented in this build

OBS 4: For those who are used to running short times races, you may have to adjust your AI settings as with fuel estimation fix they will be appropriately competitive now – consistent in fact with their practice / qualify performance, as they were in lap-based races.
