The Goodwood Monster: Watch As The KAMAZ Dakar Race Truck Races Up The Lane!


The Goodwood Monster: Watch As The KAMAZ Dakar Race Truck Races Up The Lane!

Meet Brian Lohnes’ ultimate fantasy in the automotive world: a KAMAZ Dakar rally rig. There’s no point in counting how many times a KAMAZ has made the Dakar run…either one…but there’s no doubt that the Russian beast can tolerate some of the most abusive, brutal landscapes on the planet with little more than a squeak from the suspension. But toughness is only one part of what makes the KAMAZ rally truck awesome…the other is that this thing has enough horsepower and torque within it that swinging it’s prodigious weight around is nothing, even on a course as surprisingly narrow as the Goodwood run. Just a bit of a Scandinavian flick into a corner and this monster rotates like a swivel seat in a 1970s Monte Carlo. Nothing this big should be able to dance like the hippo in Fantasia, nothing, but here you go…you can’t deny the video.

If anybody needs Lohnes, you’ll find him with an English to Russian translation guide, looking up the words needed to plead his case for a ride.

    What is more frightening than the bulbous behemoth dancing around that course is the hosts quoting Jeremy “Jezza” Clarkson. We now know what they watch when they are relaxing. The automotive world is doomed.
