Previously we have showed Sylvain Noel’s Kenworth W900 beating a BMW M5 into submission at the drags, beating up on other big rigs in a street race while fully loaded and empty, and generally proving itself to be the craziest functional big rig alive. People have referenced Mike Ryan’s awesome Freightliner truck and it is an all-time weapon, but this truck is still packing a fifth wheel and the ability to haul freight while Ryan’s truck has gone into a full race setup. In this video we see Noel drifting the huge truck, slaloming the huge truck, and generally doing things with multiple rear tires that most high horsepower cars cannot do with two. It is insane how easily this truck overwhelms its own girth and the contact patch of those hunks of rubber when the boost comes up, and the boost comes up quick. We decided to start this video at around the 2:00 mark on purpose because that’s when the footage gets the most interesting.
We’re pretty sure Noel drives race cars outside of this truck so the guy is an experienced wheelman and it shows when he starts to get the truck into some high speed drifts. When we say high speed, we mean it. At one point, the camera guy almost eats the front of the truck and he’s really hauling ass sideways at that moment, both sets of rear tires in huge smoke. We’re not sure why they decided to commandeer Sanair Speedway for the day with this rig but we are sure glad they took video. If it was just for kicks and the ability to do whatever the hell they wanted it would be enough reason for us. They literally turn the place into a playground for the huge truck.
Because we’re total freaks we’ll admit to our favorite part of this video. The howl and scream the big truck tires make when they are coming out of a skid or spin is awesome because it stands as a reminder that this thing isn’t a “race truck” in the tube frame, bobbed, modified chassis sense. This is a wildly overpowered stock chassis truck and there’s no better math than that! Watch this poetry in motion take place.
Imagine if YOU had a 2,400hp Kenworth and a speedway all to yourself for the day. The stuff of dreams, right?
