The Trucks Of The Nürburgring 24 Are Way Cooler Than You Think
The Trucks Of The Nürburgring 24 Are Way Cooler Than You Think-September 2024

Most people go to the to see race cars. Some people go there driving trucks. And the Ram really seems to be the F-150 of Europe.

You’ve already seen and and back, but how about the rest of the truck fleet around the Nordschleife? Well, it was pretty Dodge-heavy.

Among the amazing field of refined European sports cars at the Nürburgring, there’s this big ol’…

Let’s go through them one by one, shall we?

Some Germans certainly want to do a David Hasselhoff, and I don’t mean getting too drunk to board an airplane but instead doing everything to become Americans.

Everything is functional here, including gas prices.

OPC is . The truck is a Chrysler product. Problem, GM Europe? No problem. We are all friends around the Ring.

What’s better than an Unimog? An army-spec Unimog with a built-in sofa next to the track. At least five crates of beer included.

Ford. Built table tough.

Google it, or .

All you need to know that they made their first fire cart in 1866 and today, they belong to Iveco. AC/DC sun visors are optional extras in the catalogue.

24 hours a day, that will stay where they parked it.

A racing stripe. Yeah, deal with it.

As far as the tax officers are concerned, this is a truck alright. A cute little truck.

The whole post-war crew is here.

It’s not the fastest Auto Union, yet the most capable.

Starting a family at the Nürburgring? You won’t be the first.

Of course there’s a Jeep. There’s always a Jeep!

Fiat Ducato Turbo Diesel. An institution.

N24: Best race, best trucks, best beer supply.
