Super Trucks visor cam | Time for Coffee
Massive jumps, overtakes on the grass and hilarious body roll: this onboard footage has it all!
We’re big fans of the Stadium Super Trucks series at PH, for all of its madness. It’s about as far from the clinical world of Formula 1 as you can get, with pick-ups that defy gravity over jumps and demonstrate the sort of body roll you’d expect from giant Citroen 2CVs. Off circuit politics are practically non-existent between teams, with all of the fighting done on track - even if it means body work, wheels and pretty much anything else getting lost in the process.
This morning, we’ve come across an excellent visor camera video from the weekend’s first Mid-Ohio race, with Matt Brabham providing us with the hectic on track ride. From starting in second and then challenging for the lead, defending champ Brabham demonstrates the aggressive racing techniques he’s been successfully employing to rank top of the 2019 leader board. It’s fair to say he knows his way around the 600hp Chevy V8 racer – and it makes for excellent viewing.
Best of all, with four rounds of the 2019 series left (Mid-Ohio was the fifth of the season), the championship is still all to play for. And as the support series for IndyCar, it’s fast building in popularity on a global scale, meaning you can catch the action online from this side of the pond. The title showdown is one we’ll certainly be watching even if only for the on-track argy-bargy, which vastly contrasts our regular schedule of motorsport. If you’re yet to be convinced of its entertainment, we encourage you to get the kettle on and enjoy the on-board below.

Out of interest, how do these drivers not suffer back-related issues from the heavy landings from the jumps?
Back in my youth, I loved nothing more than jumping my first car (Citroen Saxo) over a humped back bridge. Okay it didn't have this level of suspension, but fk me the landing was always heavy

Puts F1 to shame - overtaking on the grass, three wheel cornering, not to mention the jumps. How do those glass fibre bodies not crack? My TVR wouldn’t last a second!
Where can I have a go?
A sure fire winner either in “have a go” or as a “ride along.”
