Once you’ve had your fill of supercars and small European hatchbacks, you start to realize there is more to in this world that the internal combustion engine has to offer. For instance, there are motorsports out there that boggle the mind and thrill at the same time.
One of them that is very familiar to us is called tractor pulling, and it is exactly what it sounds like: big tractors that have been especially tuned to pull huge loads. We decided it would be a good change of pace to show you some of the interesting venues through some of the most viewed videos on Youtube.
In Europe, the sport is especially popular in the Netherlands, but is also spread to the US and Australia. The standard requirement for the sport is that you tug the heavy sledge or sled behind you on a 35 foot wide and 300+ foot long dirt track. The winner is always the one who pulls it to the end the fastest.
This sport is made entertaining by the multi-engined monsters that are created using car V8s and the fact that horsepower figures go into the tens of thousands thans to dragster technology.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
