2:37Now PlayingRacing fans, rejoice! USA TODAY is giving you an exclusive 360-degree look at what it’s like to race a Monster Jam® truck.
Join Chad Fortune, driver of Soldier Fortune®, as he crushes cars and launches off ramps in pursuit of Monster Jam’s FS1 Championship series.
“It’s very physical,” Fortune said. “You’re jumping Monster trucks, not a Cadillac, so you really feel every hit.”
Monster Jam is a live motorsport event tour operated by Feld Entertainment. The series features world-class drivers competing in front of capacity crowds in both monster truck racing and freestyle competitions.
“There’s a lot of pressure out there. You have 70,000 people watching you, so you try to keep yourself at a calm, but you can’t help it, because you feel like a superhero,” Fortune said.
USA TODAY spent time with Monster Jam crews in Atlanta and Indianapolis. The Soldier Fortune team agreed to mount one of USA TODAY’s specialized camera rigs, designed to capture video in 360 degrees, to their monster truck.
So grab your VR headset and hop in the cockpit; it’s going to be a wild ride.
