That’s our night Trunkers coming back late from the Hub !
Coming back late? How do you think we get there on time LOL!!!
That’s one hell of a speed bump lol
Impressive
New trailer air bags required for a start plus whatever else was flying off it. I can never understand how anybody can justify doing something like that what a waste of money. Obviously the one that thought it up is not the owner or the one who will have to cough up for the damage. Eddie.
They are about as fast as a truck this year haha
I tried to jump a Truck once, I think she said her name was Truck it may have been Tracey, she was a big girl and took some effort to get over but I never lost any fairings on landing
took some bottle

Being the race team I imagine it’s the last seasons truck. As Renault are the engine supplier for the Lotus team then as soon as the T range was available I imagine the race team were the first customer to get their mits on one.

That video will go viral, it will be all over the net, it will be on TV shows. That’s a lot of advertising for the cost of making the video and repairing some damage, which would be a lot less than actually paying for that amount of publicity.
Blimey Renaults have improved, not many bits fell off

Agreed, Look at Volvo’s recent advertising, they’ve been using You Tube and social media to promote their trucks to great effect, millions of hits on you tube and then reported in the trucking press, at a fraction of the cost of advertising in other media outlets.
Although I don’t think that was actually one of their race trailers, no lockers, and they’re normally quite heavily even before you put anything on them. probably an empty boxvan with side skirts etc and painted for the stunt. At least I hope it wasn’t this trailer.

Not sure if lotus had the T range, I know Sauber and obviously the Renault Engine trucks got them, but than as Lotus are going to Mercedes engines I should imagine they’ll be changing their trucks anyway, maybe they’ll also have Stobarts doing their transport.

They’re changing to Mercedes engines next year so the truck will be going back to Renault anyway
