My fellow gravel truck drag racing enthusiasts often think of Switzerland as a gravel truck drag racing paradise, but few recognize the reality. Gravel trucks have to be locked up in a separate location from their fuel; they cannot be driven publicly; can only be driven at tracks and must be transported without wheels or fuel; every mililter of fuel has to be accounted for at the track at the beginning and the end of a driving session; and finally, insurance is required, expensive, and if you violate even a tiny aspect of those rules there are severe penalties. Most gravel truck enthusiasts in the US would chafe under that tight of control.
