For those of you who are familiar with rules of Europa Truck Trials it will be reassuring that we use them heavily and for people new to the sport, it is a perfect occasion to learn about its basics.

Some say that rules exist only to be broken and in Heavy Duty Challenge one of the rules is to not break a gate pole, so if you break it, you break a rule too! But to be honest, in this game you want to avoid breaking rules. In the real-life trials drivers try to avoid any mistakes, as they will give the team penalty points and the more you have, the lower is your position. It is the same in HDC. During the attempt on the section, if you touch or break a pole, change direction of driving, or stop for more than 15 seconds, the game will give you penalty points. You can also be disqualified for changing direction more than six times between two gates, so plan your route carefully.
If you reach the finish gate you are not safe yet. Any missed gates will cost you 100 points and probably push you down in the classification. And classification matters. After the whole event contestants will be sorted from the lowest number of penalty points to the highest and based on these standings the Championship points will be awarded, starting from 25 for the first place and going down with each next place. The last place awarded with only 1 CP is the 11th.
I hope that you will soon have a chance to try how the rules work for you and become a champion of Heavy Duty Challenge! For now, add the game to the Wishlist and leave a comment here - which of the teams is your favorite?
