I've always been fascinated by the Dakar (Paris-Dakar) rally...especially the semi truck classes. For those who don't know the rally, read about it here. The Russian team, Kamaz, has won the past 5 years in a row in the truck class.

The action is very impressive. The huge trucks with over 750 horsepower/2000 ft-lbs are capable of over 100 mph off road and are basically unstoppable.

Specs on the production version of the Kamaz Race Truck

Here is a 30 minute video highlighting Kamaz at the rally since 1996. Warning though, the narration is loosely translated from Russian and the lady has quite an accent.

Damn 730 hp at 2500 rpms and 2700 ft/lbs of torque, that thing must be so much fun to drive.

Yeah, I love them. But back in the late 80´s/early 90´s there was a sort of Gr.B Trucks like DAF´s with twin engines and stuff. I still remember a works Mitsubishi prototype being overtaken by a DAF 95 in a straight (!!!), being filmed by a helicopter.

Its one of the most amazing sights I ever saw in motorsports, that sheer brute power passing over the Mitsubishi who was fighting for overall victory...
