Vicki's Nurburgring Truck Race | Fifth Gear

[@Grandpa_Grinch]

Have always loved Vicki's passion, knowledge & skill as a driver & she's an engaging presenter

[@MarcNeilson]

I love watching Vicki! She's the best!

[@therickman1990]

"Throttle, all of it" love it lol

[@adam872]

My favourite bit too!

[@palanthis]

Compared to a GT3 / GTE-LM car, these trucks are an incredible bargain.

[@prelovedguitarsni1436]

Vicki is the perfect woman. ❤

[@jamesdowling9759]

She’s a proper legend.

[@courtneypope8979]

Thank you, I been looking everywhere for inside look

[@EugVR6]

My stepfather took me to watch Truck racing at Brands Hatch in the 80s and one of the demonstrations was truck vs RS500 road car and the RS500 was blown into the weeds.

[@Max_Snellink]

Transport boss.. Drop that trailer there and race over there to get another trailer... Hehe okay. ERF EC11 were great for drifting and fast gear changes. Great video 👍

[@dinosshed]

Nice work, I think when you consider the weight difference between a f1 car and these things the fuel economy is actually much better. A 1.5 litre making 1000hp with battery help and a 12 litre making 1100hp without hybrid assistance. They are an under rated category for the show they put on.

[@michalisevripidou6461]

I would like to point out that modern F1 engines are more efficient than it is stated in the video. If we consider that within the rules, an F1 car can carry a maximum of 105kg of fuel, that is around 145L (105/0.721=145.6). A normal GP is a distance of around 305Km, so (100*145)/305= 47.7 L/100Km which translates to 5.9 miles/gallon (UK). And that is if we take that in every race they start with the maximum amount of the fuel they can, which is not correct as many teams start with much less of it due to wanting to be lighter. With an over-estimate of lets say 80kg of fuel onboard, fuel economy raises to 36.4 L/100Km or 7.76 miles/gallon (UK).

[@Predalienn]

​@@michalisevripidou6461 You're right, but an F1 car is still not 5500 kg ... and let's not forget about the amount of drag that giant cabin produces at higher speeds, I was surprised with the average 2 miles/gallon... I was guessing 2 gallons/mile :)))

[@zapfanzapfan]

Mid engined super truck with surprisingly good fuel economy :-)

[@jamesdowling9759]

I’ve been driving HGV’s for 12 years and would love a go at this! Could really do with 1 in my day to day job 😂

[@johnnyhun1]

too bad that despite almost every hgv starts at 400+ hp they are weak as fuck even when empty trailer attached :D

[@martinfisker7438]

0-100mph in 5 seconds almost seems unreal for 1100hp and 5500kg. I think my vfr is close to the same time at 105hp and 220kg...

[@MB-qv2rg]

Yes it is unreal volvo has a truck with 2300 hp and it does 0-100 kph in 4.6 sec so i think what they meant was 100kph not mph

[@BIGBLOCK5022006]

One of my favorite things to race in Forza Motorsport 7.

[@waiyanhung6844]

Very good Lady vehicle racing driver

[@mattmisanthropy.]

A 5 tonne truck is faster to 160kmph than my car is to 100kmph 😅

[@robertl2856]

Bit like life on the M25....on a good day !

[@MLB9000]

Try the A414 shortcut to the M1 if you really want some fun!

[@FAT8893]

Probably the craziest motor racing... EVER!

[@2burning2turning]

Farhan Ahmad Tajuddin look up figure 8 racing, that’s crazy.

[@Stikkzz]

watch motorsport for decades, now noticed they have a blood typ sticker on the car

[@HJZ75driver]

[@Madsstuff]

I dont like 5th gear. But Vicki is and always has been pretty bad ass.

was chased up a road near poole dorset/weymouth had shell on it my first day driving and yes those truck can out pace my car back in 1992/94 sure it had shell ad on it

[@gabotrial]

how bout showing up with that on track days!

[@TheEXCLUSIVEHD]

Does any one know what is the name of background music at 2:36

[@MLB9000]

I think they need to spend a bit more time showing us what we’re about to watch and then what we just watched.

[@sarahmathias9463]

Bloody hell, 16 speed manual while racing.

[@gewoontimm]

16 speed is just 4 low gears, 4 high gears and a gearsplitter (overdrive) for every gear... so without a trailer he can keep the splitter active and start in 2nd gear, move to 4th gear move to 6th gear and move to 8th gear with a splitter.. because he doesnt have a trailer to pull he can skip gears.. its easier to do, then to explain it from my experience

[@thomasburke7995]

What is not being shown is the fact these transmissions appear to be synchronous meshed boxes .north American class 8 units have up to 18 to 22 gears and are all NON synchronous

[@gewoontimm]

@@thomasburke7995 as the guy with the black truck saids.. its basicly a factory engine and gearbox with the boost put up higher... witch can be done.. and a diffrent gear ratio in the rear diff to let the truck do 160 km/h without pumping out 6 pistons at 2500+ rpm... as that is where the factory revlimit is

[@marcusjosefsson4998]

@@thomasburke7995 All due to stubbornness and stupidity. There's no need for non-syncromesh manual gearboxes in heavy trucks anymore. It would be better for both comfort and fuel economy to use an automated/robotic gearbox like the Volvo I-shift.

[@notsamsamsucks3586]

There basically only using the top gears whilst racing

[@waiyanhung6844]

Too Fantastic Too Funny

[@d4bricks889]

Cool awesome.

[@ShakamuraGames]

7:25 a lot of trucks are destroyed by acvidents caused by brake failure. That cooling solution could save lives if applied to regular trucks

[@bjrn-steinarhanssen2102]

only in the summer, and in warm climate. In scandinavia it would be the cause of many deaths during the winters, and over the mountains during the spring and late autumn.

[@ShakamuraGames]

@@bjrn-steinarhanssen2102 why? That probably is software activated to cool only when needed

[@shafoz]

Normal trucks don't have brakes near as good as this ones. The problem is not the cooling solution, which in this case is needed because of the extreme temperatures they reach in during races. If a normal truck has a brake failure, it's because it doesn't have good brakes at all.

[@ShakamuraGames]

@@shafoz i dont believe thats true at all, hete in Brazil its common for trucks to lose brakes while going downhill

[@shafoz]

@@ShakamuraGames Then they don't have proper brakes What you don't understand is that during racing brakes reach 900 degreess that's why they use this system

[@ean-yb1uo]

Please be normal not weird continue to bring interesting shit about cars and other :) This will be number 1 show on telly

[@energymc22]

5:53 - er no. Come on, does nobody check these things? They have obviously quoted a zero to 100km/h time, 0 to 100mph in five seconds is the preserve of less than a handful of the very fastest road vehicles...

[@smurf2106]

How does she see out over the steering wheel she's so small... 😂

[@cliffburtonnkardesiyim3725]

5:52 0-100 or 0-60 ?

[@brax1108]

IMO 0-60 MPH...Chiron makes 0-100MPH in 4,4s!

[@FAT8893]

It's obvious there, 100mph.

[@FAT8893]

@@brax1108 You don't compare the Chiron with a racing truck, they are as different as chalk and cheese.

[@Ariskot007]

@@FAT8893 The point is that there is clearly a mistake in the title - 5,5 ton truck with 1100 horsepower can't do 0-100 MPH at 5 sec. Must be a typo.

[@las3k91]

Rather 0-100 km/h or 0-60 mph. It will match power to weight ratio.

[@joshriles84]

[@tristanruusmaa4571]

Formula 1 is in nürburg ring?

[@mikep9945]

Vicki.......... Just gorgeous and a shit hot driver

[@H20-s2t]

i think it might even get worse mpg than a rotary

[@thomasburke7995]

Impressive as they are these racing engines are average for class 8 north American and Australian units in terms of power output. In north America catapiller and cumming both have a 16 liter non modified stock powerplants that are rated at 2200lb of torque.. and couple that to a standard 18 or 22 speed non synchronous mesh transmission ... now that would racing..
