I bought a new car, a Ford. It's more of a truck with two wheels and two fans on its back. I was going on the jungle expedition, but I don't know why I was thrown out of it because I didn't continue it last time. I looked for it but didn't find it, so I bought and used this rally truck in a random race.

Today, it's about the FORD Ranger T16 Rally Raid 2014.

After I finished the race 1st, I drove to this open field just to show off the vehicle, keeping this amazing background in the frame. The field was full of yellow flowers.

That's the pair of extra wheels nd a pair of exhaust fans on the back of the truck. I understand the need for the extra wheel, but I don't understand the needs of the fans. Maybe those are the outdoor of the air conditioner or something like that.

I changed its default color after buying it as I didn't like the default one, and I liked this silver color the most on this car.

Look at the wheels and the side parts of the body. The wheel steel has a "Ford" sticker on it, and I see some special vent holes on the side gates.

This is a compact circuit around the modern settlement of Los Jardines. Short straits followed by sharp corners will favour lighter, more agile vehicles. For all the sharp corners, I guessed this truck would be the perfect fit for its slow speed and good controlling.

It's a 3-lap event with a total of 12 racers, including me, and I started the race from the 4th position. I noticed all the racers had similar type vehicles on the race, and there were more Ford Ranger T16 as well.

I went ahead of the first three racers in less than 10 seconds, right before reaching the first checkpoint, but I couldn't hold on to it as I lost the position at the first checkpoint as I messed up there trying for a hard drift. I fell to 4th position again.

Then I went ahead of the other two already, but I had to stay on track till the sixth checkpoint, and that's when I reached the first position again, and I intentionally pushed that racer to the wall there.

I almost made another mistake later, but I had already created a good distance with the other racers, so they couldn't go ahead of me this time.

When I was finishing the second lap and then crashing on some hard turns, I didn't notice any other racers in the frame, which says how much distance I already created with them.

I finished first, leading the event, and I drove on the third lap so well that I still didn't see any other racers when I was finishing the race.
