This event promises to be a fantastical realisation of childhood fancy
Engines? You're looking at methanol-chugging supercharged V8 motors that can make in excess of 1,120kW - more than in a new Bugatti Chiron. Yep, there are a lot of fascinating facts and figures in this sport: serious numbers that hide under a thick and very glossy veneer of show business shtick.
Interestingly enough you get to the wheel of these four-wheeled megaliths by climbing up through the floor. There are no conventional doors to make life easy. Once aboard you're suddenly surveying the world from an unusually high perch. Back home in America this dirt is actually kept inside silos at or near the resident venues for use over multiple events. In foreign countries, especially ones never visited before like SA, this obviously isn't viable so dirt has to be sourced locally months before Zombie et al roll off their transporters.
This culminated in one shattered truck body and, no doubt, a slightly bruised driver ego."I got redemption later that season in Detroit, Michigan, where I completed my first picture-perfect backflip." The maximum engine life of a Monster Jam supercharged V8 motor is about 40 hours. Then they have to be stripped and rebuilt. They have an insane thirst for fuel – they consume 10 liters of methanol per run, which is give or take 80m.

BUSINESS MAVERICK: SA’s car manufacturing system could help to get SA’s industrial development on the roadTo great political applause, car company Nissan has said it will spend R3-billion on its plant in Rosslyn outside Pretoria to build the Navara model. Announcements like these regularly punctuate the news; it’s all part of SA’s grand Automotive Production and Development Programme, arguably the crown of SA’s interventionist industrial effort. But if this policy is working so well — and it does seem it is — why is it not being applied to other sectors?
