The Russians are Different

I don't know what it is about the Russkies, but they tend to put their own unique twist on most activity.

That includes truck racing, which you can watch on free-to-air TV in this country most weekends, but it's nothing like this. These trucks look as if you could usefully employ them at the quarry on the Monday after Sunday's races.

You wouldn't want to try that with the machines raced in Australia. And the Russian drivers look like real truckies, not the ponced up characters who drive the weekend racers here.
