Truck action from the Morocco stages of the Dakar rally.
If you want to hear them go here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1TVjzjpCgY
These are by far the most impressive sight if you get to go to the Dakar rally.

This video is worthless without the raw sound of diesel power….
@1994delicaman So what kind of truck is it then? I'm guessing a MAN or a DAF? I'm an American; we don't have these badass rigs over here (although our semi trucks are pretty cool in their own way!).
@justforever96 The trucks are mostly DAF, MAN, HINO, IVECO, TATRA and the incomparable Russian made KAMAZ which has dominated this formidable rally in the last decade.
@justforever96 I think the CAT on the front of it is a sponsor :/
@zooloo24 What kind is the truck with the CAT logo?
@justforever96 CAT is an American truck manufactured by The Caterpillar Company. They are big in the earth moving equipment category.
@zooloo24 LOL, I live in the US, I know what Caterpiller is. I asked whether that was a CAT truck, and someone said it just had a CAT engine. So I asked what kind of truck it was then, and someone listed all the various trucks that can be seen in the video, but not which was which. Now you explain what Caterpillar is! I just want to know what kind of truck it is at 1:37! The other guy said the truck isn't a CAT, just the engine, so is it a MAN? DAF? We don't have those brands here.
@justforever96 This is a CAT truck. Manufacturer's name is carried on the front of the truck. If the engine is a CAT then it has to be a CAT truck or am I missing smthg? This competition is mostly a manufacturers competition there4 it is unlikely Toyota wud sponsor Mercedes, or DAF sponsor Volvo. So, truck at 1:37 is a CAT.
@zooloo24 Okay, I did some Googling to find out once and for all. First, Kenworth and many other companies that don't make their own engines use CAT engines. Caterpillar is primarily an engine and construction equipment maker. They sell Cat branded trucks in the US and Australia, but they are not cab overs. This is Marcel van Vliet's GINAF truck, which is a Dutch company that basically makes off-road versions of DAF's. That's a DAF cab, a GINAF truck, with a CAT twin turbo engine!
@justforever96 ginaf also make normal roadtrucks
one of the best jobs in the world
Anyone thinking of MotorStorm?

Also theres clips of Jan de rooy driving these dafs and at the time he was in his 60s as he was born in 1943 and jan didn't drive the rig slow and steady
He always pushes his rigs to the limits
