Tata Motors today treated Motoroids India to a ‘hot lap’ of the Buddha International Circuit in its recently launched T1 Prima Truck, which will be seen participating in the fast approaching T1 Prima Truck Racing championship, which kickstarts on March 22, 2014.

Quite obviously, we had a huge grin plastered on our face, as this monster here took to the challenging corners of the famed racing track with quite an aplomb. The T1 Prima Truck that we had a rendezvous with gave us a first hand experience of track racing for trucks.
