Throwback Thursday: Truck racing in Germany

Back in 2002, Motoring TV headed to Germany to take in some truck racing at the famed Nürburgring.

While the sport originated in the United States, it's Europe where it has become a mainstay, combining heavy transport trucks with 250 km/h top speeds for an interesting event that is certainly unique.
