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.

These monstrous machines are a sight to behold. Think they Veyron is powerful?
