Gameplay

The selection of the vehicles is made of three main classes: bikes (will oversteer when in sharp turns), cars (pickup trucks), and trucks (big rigs powered by diesel). As an attempt to recreate the Dakar event, the game offers overall twelve tracks, which range from villas to deserts. Each course has certain features, so the players have to customize their vehicle to match the conditions. During the race, there is a progress meter on the screen with five parts, each slowly changing to blue as the players are pacing between checkpoints, and subsequently turning to red or green depending on how the passed time matches up to the minimum needed.
