Truck racers are driven to succeed

After 10 years as a truck racer, Zhao Da'an hasn't lost his passion for speed.

"For one second, all you can see is the sky in your cockpit. The next second all you can see is the ground," said the native of Xi'an, capital of Shannxi province, referring to the thrills offered by the tricky terrain that racers have to traverse.

China Super Truck Racing has maintained its grassroots connections, offering drivers from all over the country a platform to showcase their skills in circuits filled with mud, ditches and steep slopes.
