An Hungarian developer is working on a free Dakar Rally simulation, tackling what is one of the most difficult motorsport events to simulate. The Dakar rally covers thousands of kilometers of stages, having road cars, bikes and trucks compete in three classes.
Below are the first previews, as you can see the graphics are still kind of basic. Nevertheless, rally fans can already try a first test version, including well known cars like the VW Tourag and the Hummer. The game supports both Direct3D and OpenGL and runs both in Windows and Linux.

I had no chance testing this since I´m not at home and no PC is at reach, maybe any of you can share some feedback on this.
This was send to me via mail so I have no further info about it

Can be promising, it’s a hard task to simulate an “adventure”, but seems to be doable, and environment looks cool. So instead of just criticizing, i wish some people actually HELPED this guy.
keep up the good work!
