    The cigars are called "Original Krumme" from Villiger. The cigars on the back of the truck are for marketinreasons oversized.
    Meanwhile the truck don´t exist anymore. The engine (MAN 6-in line and the ZF specialgearbox) is now installed in an american schoolbus with 10 seats and gave the passengers a lot of fun.
    Meanwhile I am retired and the bus is in my workshop. It was a fantastic time - thanks to all my sponsors, teammates and the people who loved my vehicles.

    The thing he's got (you thought it was a beer bottle at first) are Krumme Zigarren (Cigars bundled in 3-4 twisted into each other from a Swiss cigar manufacturer).
    As far as I know, at least in the past, there was a rule for racing trucks that they could only use standard tires (i.e. commercially available tires) and no tires made for racing. Judging by the sound, this should also be the case.
    Racing trucks, seen for a while similar to the DTM (German Touring Car Championship), absolutely spectacular.

    One thing missing is the steam from the water cooling of the brakes typical of race trucks. This vehicle may be so stripped down as not to have water cooling for the brakes and for a short hill climb course get away with normal but big air cooled braking. The cab makes it look top heavy but the rear view shows the motor as low as possible between the bigger wheels.

    In answer to your question, Stopping them needs seriously big water cooled brakes and very strong leg muscles. These beasts are limited to 100mph and can do 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds! That's quicker than a 2019 Dodge Charger R/T! Under hard braking the rear end becomes lighter so the rear end bounces making the rear tyres squeal and complain on every corner. Truck racing is a really cool thing to watch. Noise, smoke and tortured tyres. What else do you need?

    ...
    P.S.
    There's specific reason mentioning 7.5t - in Europe you have 2 different truck driving licence categories. One's for full time big trucks, other's for small van-type trucks (up to 7.5 tons). If you fancy, I'll elaborate.

    Ever seen the 90s sisu racing trucks
    They were speed drifting
    Litterly the same stuff takumi did in initial D
    But on a official race on a race track in 5500kg trucks
    With multiple other trucks on track

    These trucks have interresting brake cooling system, you have to watch the temperature and if they get hot, wich they do after every corner, you have to use a button to spray water directly on the brakes

    Ian if you don't know already we do have truck racing over in Europe but surely you guys over in the US aswell.....
    They typically boast 1100hp and around 5000 NM of torque, so I guess this one is only slightly modified
    I highly encourage you to search for that on CZcams, should be easy to find :)
    Edit: search for FIA ETRC..... there ya go

      They do have truck racing in the US; don't know what they call that as they have the (what used to be) Craftsman truck NASCAR series but they were pickups not proper trucks. Looking on CZcams though it doesn't look like they race real trucks. :( Of all people I thought would have done, after all they race just about everything else.

    I'll be at the Goodwood Festival of Speed tomorrow. All sorts of things run up the hill, bikes, cars, race cars, trucks, etc. Some try for a good time, others just want to entertain the spectators (e.g. the drifters). Do try to watch some of the highlights on CZcams.
