No but Schmi Red Horse and Gordon's flaming Monte Carlo don't have a
trailer hitch sticking out the back. My question was because...with F1 cars
or Stock Cars or most other types of rigs, you can park one or two cars in a
normal sized trailer. So I got very low on the intelligence ladder and
tried to figure out how they truck the trucks since those big boys most
likely won't roll inside a trailer. I would suppose, they use a flatbed
trailer. ??

Well in fact we do put the racetrucks into normal closed trailers.
The max width of the race truck has to be 2.54 meters (or 100 inches for our
US friends) so they fit in a trailer provided you can "open the legs" of the
trailer when you load the racetruck in it.

The usual trailer has the front for the "living quarters" and the back with
the racetruck facing backwards, with some storage place coming on top of the
trailer hitch.

For a more complete information there has been FIA rules changes this year,
last year the trailer hitch was a REAL one with a minimum weight of 100
Kilos ( or 125 I don't recall) and able to pull a 5 ton load (JOST model
something for us) but this year we have a plastic one, weighting about 10
kilos and able to pull.....NOTHING.

But for the most pressing question in your post, yes we can load the truck
in a trailer....

ok, so here is the typical R.A.S answer.

Well we do race with the trailer full of mechanics whose job is to throw
things at the other drivers....

That WOULD be fun wouldn't it ?

Absolutely! And under the rules, they have to drive to the factories and pickup their own
tires and oil filters and such.
