I thought it was to clear up some really important things now.

What kind of trucks does the F1 teams use? I know Jag is using Volvo. Jordan is using Scania and BAR is using Renault.

What about the rest then, what trucks are the other teams using?

Arrows and Prost use Volvo. As far as I know, Benetton use Renault. I presume McLaren would use Mercedes Benz.

Jaguar using Iveco? Why not? Isn't Iveco a joint partnership between Ford and FIAT?

Correct Fred Iveco is Ford/Fiat. Why do Williams use MAN as I think they are part of VW.

I thought this thread was going to be about the big rigs that they race around the road courses in Europe. What's up with that? I saw this one morning on Motorsport Mundial waiting for F1 qualifying to start. Certainly peculiar to see those hulking monsters try to outbrake one another. What's next, RV racing? SUV racing?

Now that's TRUCK racing. Not the wimpy stuff they try to pass off as truckracing in the states.

madmac -I use to work for a team (your name might give u a clue!) and sill invovled in F1 in a different way now.

Yeah, Iveco is a partnership, so in the UK the truck in question has Iveco Ford branding where as other parts of Europe doesn't

Most trucks are not standard, they have bespke faring kits etc, mostly done in the UK

MAN is not owned by VW. They maybe tied into VW in someway though
