Hyperion - TTC 2017
Komentáře
Bernhard SchrockWhen I started the project 2019 I ran out of breath: the kit is a true puzzle and consists the chassis and the cabin only flat (2D) parts.
Now I reactivated the project: after finishing my last (longest) project nothing can scare me. 🙂

Looking for new ideas and challenges for the participants, the WTRA (World Truck Racing Association) decided in 2014 to initiate a new competition: TTC, Truck Triathlon Challenge.
Every truck has to take part in three disciplines: stock car racing, cross country, and fire extinguishing.
In France in 2017, the F1 Circuit Paul Ricard was used for the first part, where 15 rounds had to be completed.
Here, Hyperion achieved a really good time, clocking an average speed of 90,5 km/h and finishing in 57min40sec.
The second part took place in Val d'Isere. Here, 2 of the 13 competitors did not finish the very challenging course.
In the third part, participants had to extinguish a fire 30 m away. Here, Hyperion put out all three burning wooden pallets in 43 seconds.
Hyperion and its crew finished second Place with 267 points.
