I do not know the marque, but it rather looks like a "chase" or service truck possibly
used in the European Truck Racing Circuit.

Well, it is Sunday evening here and the weather is terrible so I have extra time to
let my mind wander.

So......  Racing "cage", racing tyres, driver seems to be wearing a helmet.
Large open area with a lot of tarmac that has directional stripes on it.
Lots of sponsor decals on the truck which I cannot read.

Does this have anything to do with an airport???

Easy for you, my friend ;D

I am still lost on what the Zuk is doing, but I am a more learned man than I was this morning.
I now know that a Zuk is a Beetle in the Polish language and thank you for helping me to learn that.

Continuing with the advertising/promotion concept, has it something
to do with the European Football Cup Competition ???

It was made by Studenckie Kolo Naukowe Milosnikow Motoryzacji from Poland
The engine is a V8 from (I think) from Mercedes with 250 hp

It is Żuk A13 Pick-Up with Mercedes-Benz V8 M117 5.0 K-Jetronic engine by students from Lodz University of Technology.

Nice job del!!!!

I had given up when you gave the V8 hint and did find the vehicle on Google.pl.

The Google translation from Polish was pretty awful, but I did find, I think, that it had to be modified quite a bit, it had a 4 speed automatic transmission as well.

If I read the translation correctly, it was not a pleasant vehicle to drive at all.
But, it was quite fast.

Can I now know what the vehicle was advertising???  The scenes at a military base may give me the answer but I cannot read the plastic stickers.

It was just Top Gear Poland photoshoot & test drive.

Thank you Sir, now I can strike that one off my mystery list!!!

And, thanks for the point, I'm not sure I deserved it but at least I did put in a couple of hours research so I will take it ;)
