F1 drives under a truck – level 1

27-11-2014 07:00

A truck and a Formula One car go fast. They drive next to each other. The truck drives onto a ramp. It jumps in the air. It jumps 83 feet (25 metres).

When it is in the air, the F1 drives under it. This is very dangerous. The Formula One only has a few seconds. People film everything. They use this video as an advert.

Difficult words: truck (a very big car for moving things), ramp (a piece of metal that helps cars drive up something), advert (a short film about something you can buy).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
