As realistic as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe isn't, there's definitely still scope for more true-to-life racing games on Nintendo's hybrid beastie. That's no doubt the exact thought process going through the minds of BIGBEN and N-Racing as they've announced that their latest internal combustion engine simulator FIA European Truck Racing Championship on the 5th August this year.
The game promises 45 trucks to choose from, 7 faithfully recreated courses straight from the real-life competition of the same name, and 6 others that aren't. 5 single player modes, 5 multiplayer modes, and even local split-screen multiplayer are thrown in as well, meaning if you've had a phenomenally specific truck-racing Switch itch, this could be the thing to scratch it.
The screenshots we've been given do not appear to be from the Switch version of the game, so please bear that in mind whilst you do your ogling.
Are you raring to burn some virtual rubber with too many manual gears? Let us know by chucking us a comment below-wards.

Is truck racing still a thing?
Hmmm nah. I’m holding out for GRID Autosport
When is Big Rigs coming to Switch? Can you drive in reverse over mountains and leave the bounds of existence in this “racing” game? I don’t think so.
@beazlen1 Grid Autosport has a "Summer 2019" release window, but it's been a few months since we heard anything... I wonder what gives?
@sandman89 ??
@farmer_humpf I was thinking the same thing, we are now half way through summer . . .
Breaker Breaker to the Bandit...
Oh boy,... Rather play F1-2019 at home and just read TopGear/AutoSport on my phone on the GO 🙄
The Switch has like 4 Kart racers at this point. Time for a good racer to finally hit the Switch... A surprise announcement for the new GRID from CodeMasters would be amazing.
@NotTelevision You're winner!
Simpsons reference in the article? King @AlexOlney strikes again!
@Agramonte Grid can't come soon enough so it would seem but this looks decent. Sure I don't want to race trucks like this but if it runs well it could be the best the Switch has.
Bigben has a history of making games that range from fine to adequate, but the concept appeals to me enough that I will check this out when it's cheap if the port is good.
Something about racing freakin' semi-trailers makes this seem less realistic than Mario Kart to me...
So we can get cricket, and truck racing but EA is waiting for a bigger install base to release madden?
