The developers are aiming to ensure the game is a simulation, therefore, the different vehicle classes in the game will feel very different to each other. Vehicles will be split into five classes: bikes, cars, trucks, ATVs and SxS. The game will feature real drivers and vehicles in an open world South America which players will be able to explore.

Will you be trying out the Dakar 18 game? Or would you prefer to experience the rally in real life instead?
