I’m undoubtedly a metropolis woman, however that doesn’t imply I can’t recognize one thing as dangerous ass as a System 1 automotive completely constructed out of tractor parts.
This chimera of epic proportions comes from the tractor producer the Minsk Tractor Manufacturing unit in Belarus. The corporate calls it the MTZ 50 System 1, based on the Autopian, and it seems enjoyable as hell. I guess it might sound like a bear making an attempt to swallow a number of pissed off cats entire on the monitor. However alas, regardless of Belarus dictator Alexander Loukachenko claiming he drove it at practically 200 mile per hour, it appears the MTZ 50 is merely a present automotive, the Minsk Tractor Manufacturing unit confirmed through Fb. (I do know, I’m shocked Loukachenko would lie about one thing as nicely.)
Which is just too dangerous, as a result of there’s something so satisfyingly strong concerning the MTZ 50. All of the elements on this F1 present automotive come immediately from the manufacturing facility’s precise manufacturing line, which makes its approximation to open-wheeled race automobiles much more astonishing.

It might definitely make an fascinating twist for the Netflix present System 1: Drive to Survive if it had a extra rural, former Soviet bloc sort really feel. Think about Max Verstappen feeding geese after which dashing out to reap a discipline of wheat sooner than Sergio Perez. The paddocks are simply precise fields the place horses hang around. Pit crews might all be in overalls and flannel, and as a substitute of untamed events, drivers must go to mattress by 8 p.m to allow them to stand up and do the entire thing the subsequent day.
