If you manage to position your truck directly behind
another one, you can achieve the ‘slip stream’ speed
boost effect that occurs as a result of decreased air
resistance. Any vehicles that are approximately the
same size as your own will create this effect. 

SLIP STREAM

Within each stage there are forks in the road. So keep
an eye peeled on the rival trucker and make your
decisions about which way to go accordingly. In some
places there are shortcuts off-road so stay alert and
investigate all possible options. 

FORKS & SHORTCUTS

If you manage to make it to the goal ahead of the rival
trucker, you’ll earn the chance to participate in a
parking challenge bonus game. If you can park your
truck in the specified space within the allotted time
you’ll win bonus parts for your truck. For details on the
parking challenge, see p. 9.

GAME MODES

In this mode, park your truck in five separat e
areas within the allotted time limit to clear
each stage. Clear all four of the available
stages to uncover hidden bonus stages.

To park, simply position your truck within
the green-rimmed walls of the parking space
and press the brake. For every pole, drum
can, wall, etc., you hit you’ll incur a penalty
and lose time, so you gotta be careful!
