(BCCL) A truck championship held this Sunday with several national and international drivers heating up the tracks at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida , was akin to watching a fast and pacy Hollywood movie. The speeding trucks left sports enthusiasts gasping as they zipped past. Not just from NCR, but sports enthusiasts from across the country came to be part of the fourth season of the T1 Prima Truck Racing.KHILADI KUMAR'S NEW TOY: Akshay Kumar atop a truck.

Some trucks even collided and went off track, although no major accident took place. Angad Gaur, a college student from Greater Noida, said, "The accidents were a reminder that even at such events, not everything can be under control. When two trucks went off-track in the International Pro-round, I started whistling as it almost appeared like a scene from 'Fast And Furious'. However, it is only when a truck met with an accident during the international championship round that I realised how serious it was." The accident happened at a turn and the driver told us, "I didn't realise for a long time what actually happened, somebody just hit me and my truck went off track."Driver Oly Janes ' truck met with a collision in the championship roundWhen Akshay Kumar came to flag off the race, the crowd cheered.

It's all like - zip, zap and zoom. I came from Bangalore to see the race and it was worth it. With every move, you take a deep breath, with every collision you pray.
