Dakar 18

Players pilot cars, trucks, motorbikes, or quads across long rally stages, managing fuel, tire wear, and vehicle damage while navigating with a roadbook instead of a fixed racing line. Weather and terrain shift during a stage, forcing constant adjustments to speed and route choice on the fly. A career mode lets drivers build a small team, upgrade their vehicle, and work through a full calendar of stages modeled on the structure of the actual event.

• Multiple Vehicle Classes Players can race cars, trucks, motorbikes, or quads, each handling differently on rough terrain.
• Roadbook Navigation Routes are followed using a roadbook rather than a marked track, requiring active navigation.
• Dynamic Weather Weather conditions change mid-stage and affect traction and visibility.
• Vehicle Damage Model Crashes and rough driving cause mechanical damage that must be managed or repaired.
• Career Mode A season-long career mode has players manage a team and progress through staged events.
