Yes they do, the discs get so hot they have too, you can clearly see the steam coming off them. No need for the sarcasm, especially when you are wrong.
"Immense forces applied on the brakes cause them to overheat tremendously, hence water cooling is a necessity. “We carry about 200 litres of water in what from the outside looks like air tanks, so we use about 200 litres of water in half an hour [race],” – says Honens.
They don't use them while braking, there's a button to use when they exit a corner. They are so hot the water turns to steam and there is no water there by the time the next corner arrives.
I did think for a bit about maybe someone should start up a company by offering this in the US market. You wouldn't need a lot of water either to cool the drums.
Course I can... I didn't even think it was a race at first. I thought this was just traffic cam footage of 465 south of Indy around 6:00 on an average Thursday.
Wait this is a sport? This whole time I've been watching NASCAR when I could have been watching this??? WTF channel can I find this on? What's it called?
Five years from now, suddenly half the drivers in the US become bilingual because they've communally discovered South American truck racing and start picking up Brazilian Portuguese accidentally.
As previously mentioned, it's the ADAC EuroTruck Series. If you have Prime TV, it comes up on the SpeedSport live channel all the time. Now that I think about it, I think that the same SpeedSport channel is on PlutoTV as well for free.
Why does it need shut down? Let's just run this shit at 4pm. News Choppers covering every angle, people dangerously close to the sidelines... it'll gain more viewers than the superbowl
If y’all like this check out the pikes peak hill climb semi. Mike Ryan is a stunt driver that made and drives the rig. It’s batshit crazy on every level.
It's sorta like stock car racing to be classified it has to be "able to do the same work" as a "truck of It's class" these are class 8 trucks so they have to be able to do class 8 work

They actually race conventionals but they are Cascadias. They also usually have water cooled brakes too.
jrshall@reddit
"They also usually have water cooled brakes too."
So, they spray water on the brakes? That should make for an interesting race. /s

Shiiiiiiiiidd, let's shut down 285 in ATL and let them do 50 laps on that! With trailers!
Pit lane is exit to 75 south (it's long enough and has a return to 285).

Fucking love race trucks. So goofy, but somehow they make it work.
Imagine seeing a big rig & thinking "Hmm, yeah. That thing belongs on a race track."
Individual_Wasabi669@reddit (OP)
They just need different type of trailer loads, one with dry trailer, one with a tanker , one with car hauler, another with hazmat nuclear waste 😂
