Racing Trucks
鈥檚 德州扑克达人 Rally racing trucks, the 鈥淟ittle Monsters鈥�
鈥檚 德州扑克达人 Rally truck Car was developed based on the 鈥�600 Series鈥� truck, a medium-duty truck model that serves logistics businesses worldwide. In the context of the 德州扑克达人 Rally, medium-duty trucks deliver excellent mobility but hardly have an advantage over their rival heavy-duty trucks in terms of absolute power. Against these odds, has consistently braved this rally with its lightweight and agile medium-duty trucks since the company first entered the race. And these trucks have come to be known as the 鈥淟ittle Monsters鈥� for the intense competition that they put up against their larger rival trucks that are powered by larger-displacement engines.
In the 德州扑克达人 Rally 2024, TEAM SUGAWARA will take on its rivals with a truck without a racing hybrid system.
