Why were they so dominant in the last 20 years?
And which special design features can we find?
Let me know how you like the Dakar Trucks in the comments below!

Kamaz have generally always been my favourite team at the Dakar rally, so cool what they've been able to achieve with their trucks
I fucking love this channel.
^^
Nice video. Would be cool to compare it to other trucks like the iveco which are the main competitors but much less funded and not real factory teams😀
It's so sad that KAMAZ truck has stopped running the Dakar now . Hope to see them back to dominants the Dakar in the near future.
Hi, thanks for the video. Really like your content, been following for about a year now😎. AFAIK these trucks are limited to 140 kph when racing for safety reasons. I think it’s been that way since the horrible accident with the monster DAF in the 80s. I think there might also be an error with a picture you put trying to show where the rear dampers get their cooling, but also possible I just missed it. Keep the good stuff coming!
Cheers from Israel
Hi, thanks and I'm glad you like it!
Yes the Dakar speed limit is at 140km/h but the truck is designed to do slightly more. They also compete in other rallys than the Dakar.
The rear damper cooling is a strange one but it seems to be as I described it here.
These trucks have been recorded going over 220kph. They are the fastest things in long flatout sections.
"Limiter" can be "delimited"
Love this class of trucks
Enjoyed this. The trucks are the most interesting vehicles in the raly tor.
they are a very good team
You're the best, B!
Thanks!
Great as always.
Good Video. The King of the Desert. Sadly without King Kamaz The Victory is Hollow.
Can you do a video on TATRA ?
What a nice video, it is rare a UA-cam channel discussing about rally raid truck.... can't wait for the Hino truck edition, because they use hybrid or more advanced tech
I'm curious, why KAMAZ doesn't enter recent edition of Dakar?
Nice truck, but because of the current situation in Ukraine there is not much love or empathy left towards anything Russian in a lot of countries.
@@robertatmopawiro3847 history repeats itself but this time it's Russians instead of Jews being treated like shit.
love this!
5:57 Imagine it with a sedan silhouette on the nose and the radiator extended out behind the roof as a wing
Supergood video as alaways.
Next time Super gt500. The top class GT race in Japan, they have a lot of areodynamic, they are the best race category for me.
There are only Nissan, Honda and Toyota, that will be a good callenge for you and a exellent content/matirial for your cannel.
Also there are gt300 where are a mix category, car whit differents tecnical regulation.
Class 1 touring cars are insane, i miss the old DTMs before they switched to GT3 cars
Awesome
Baie mooi goed gedoen jammer om te hoor ons sien hulle nie die jaar nie
Merry Christmas
Great i request you this and you did it. ✌️✌️👍👍 but you didn't cover the category where it has a two category tyoes which is sub litre category with smaller engines and super liter category with bigger engines.
Can you make a video of the Riwald Truck?
Whats the reason for using multiple springs? I see same in gr b rally cars. For example ford rs200 has twin coil springs per wheel, why not use single spring with twice the stiffness compared to using 2 springs. In theory shouldnt that give same amount of travel and energy absorbtion?
Better load dispersion through the chassis
There are multiple reasons: 2 dampers mean more surface area to get rid of the heat. 2 smaller dampers behind each other disturb the flow less than one big one.
Damper manufacturers have smaller dampers available but one huge one would have to be customized etc.
@@BSport320 thanks for answer, i see why they do it with twin dampers now but also im asking for springs only not dampers themselves. Why use 2x spring instead of single spring with 2x stiffness? The other guys answer also made sense with chassis load distribution but i d also like to hear from you as well
kamaz legend
From what ive understood, the trucks often have a supporting role (for cars and bikes) in other teams, whereas on the Kamaz team they just drive to win
There are 3 different categories of Dakar trucks:
T5.1 - Production trucks that compete (but there are not many since these are not competitive)
T5.2 - Prototype trucks that compete (like this Kamaz)
T5.3 - Former prototype trucks that act as support vehicles and carry spare parts and tools
@@BSport320 very interesting! Production trucks is damn cool - and very much in the spirit of the original dakar
Unexpectable material, cause Kamaz-master team and MAZ-sportauto are not allowed to compete at Dakar rally marathon by clear political reasons. Sport has to be out of politics. Great respect to you!
Kamaz is facktory team and thay literaly belongs to terosis state ruzzia and makes trucks for terorist army its like isis would have team
war is not politics.
@@edwnas you must be kidding. War is a part of politics.
@@user-vo7el8bp3c yeah, WW2 was also politics...
hmmm I must have had a misconception - I thought the truck's function was to carry spare parts for the cars.
Support trucks do that duty, these are racing trucks.
@@rm6330 Ah. Thanks
What a shame we can't see and "HEAR" these trucks this year ?? 🥴😢😢
Wrong image at 6:23?
All good and well, but you forgot to mention a few minor details, like the part manufacturers. For example the axles are Finish(SISU) the suspension is made in The Nethetlands(Reiger), the engine is German(Liebher) as well as the cab(Mercedes), as well as the brakes(Knor) and the transmision is made in the USA(Alison), the tires are French(Michelin). So prety much the only thing in a Kamaz race truck that is Kamaz made is the badge.
Very true, there are big name suppliers, but it's important how you put these things together.
Tbe axles, tyres and suspension are made to specifications.
And Kamaz are partners with Liebherr, they have worked on engines for normal trucks together.
So it's really only the transmission that's imported.
(the Merc cab is used on regular production models as well)
"Kamaz" doesn't have anything by the cabine from a Kamaz, everything else is European. PS even the cabin isn't Kamaz, that came from MAN🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
so why can't the european teams win then?
@@Random-nf7qb cos for the russians its a national goal/propaganda and they pour hundreds of millions into this program, hence all European, best components. European manufacturers don't participate with fully supported, limitless buget teams, cos they have to offer a high tech product. I don't want to tell the story of russian heavy truck manufacturing, but to summarize, it's a joke, they make 80s technology, before the war they were lucky, they could import all western components, now back to 80s again. Surprised the author didn't mention that, and put some militaristic, nonsense.
@@rocketman1058 cut down on drugs.
"limitless budget", hahaha
@@Random-nf7qb why do you think 0,01% of this Kamaz russian then🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@rocketman1058 the companies manufacture parts per orders too.
Liebherr and Kamaz have developed other engines together, ZF makes gearboxes for almost all truck manufacturers.
Where exactly does the unlimited budget go and why would they spend so much money, consistently, on such a niche sport? Truck Dakar is not that popular, it's not wrc, and isn't F1
I am Italian!W Kamaz Team!For the next Dakar!Many people are very stupid and I don 't understand the sport with the policy!W Russian!
This team shows that the Russians are absolutely able to organize things in a decent way!!
How is that an USSR made tank, weights the same as modern racing, carbon fibered parts, rally truck ?
