10 000hp for 100 meters
Tractor pulling is still a relatively unknown sport, only few know that this is
the worlds most powerful motorsport. Essentially the sport involves heavily
modified tractors pulling a sledge down a 100 meter course to see who gets the
furthest. The sledge becomes heavier as they progress and there is a variety of
classes for all sorts of tractors.
The unlimited class tractors can produce figures of 10 000hp and more. Some
tractors feature 5 Supercharged V8's glued together, whilst others feature 3
turbine engines that were once used to power military helicopters. There are
even radial engines and ship engines! These monstrous machines are a sight to
behold. Think they Veyron is powerful? HAHAHAHAHAHA.
