The game was developed using the KT Engine, the same engine used in the WRC series, ensuring a realistic driving experience.

The gameplay of FIA European Truck Racing Championship focuses on the unique characteristics of truck racing, such as the weight and handling of the vehicles, the need for strategic braking, and the importance of tire management.

FIA European Truck Racing Championship was promoted through trailers and gameplay videos showcasing its realistic graphics and simulation features. The game received mixed reviews from critics and players. While some praised its attention to detail and the unique experience of truck racing, others felt that it lacked depth compared to other racing simulations. Players appreciated the inclusion of official teams and tracks, but some noted that the gameplay could become repetitive over time. The game's realistic physics and handling were highlighted as strengths, but some players experienced issues with AI behavior and track design.

As of now, there has been no official sequel to FIA European Truck Racing Championship. The game remains a niche title within the racing simulation genre, appealing to fans of the ETRC and those interested in the unique challenges of truck racing. While it hasn't spawned a direct sequel, the game's focus on realism and official licensing has set a standard for future racing simulations looking to capture the essence of real-world motorsport events.
