ETS2 Peru Death Road

In this video, I drive one of the smallest map mods available - the Peru Death Road! It's a dramatic title, but a surprisingly easy drive, and packs the tiny 4.67MB .scs file with lots of details.

Even though this is the smallest of maps, I still drive one of the longest routes on it. And, whilst there is some yada-yada from me, I mostly just let some well-known classical music play as we skittle along in the amazing scenery.

An earlier video, with more challenging road conditions where use of sequential-manual gears is definitely worth it:

Chapters:
00:00 - Channel intro for ETS2, welcome back, and video intro
00:52 - Heading out to collect the cargo
02:30 - Truck specs, then leaving the first town
04:00 - Keep checking the mirrors as we relax to the 1812 Overture
05:23 - Watch out! The uphill verges are deceptively deep!
09:10 - Use the mirrors, especially when Sir Isaac Newton is in the driving seat...
11:45 - So the sound went all choppy again - swapping the truck noises
15:40 - Unlike the AI drivers, I'm straightening the curves where it's safe to do so
17:30 - Bob Ross moment - the 1812 Overture and the fake truck sound both slow down to match the video as we struggle up a hill
18:05 - Volvo noises are back!
20:30 - 1812 Overture is over, Hungarian Rhapsody beings
22:30 - Leaving the highway and back onto the twisty thin roads again
25:45 - Manually controlling the automatic gearbox
27:56 - Suffering following an AI truck trying to stay in lane, plus, is that nightfall?
30:05 - Hungarian Rhapsody fades into Blue Danube, rather like the cabin ambient lighting. The Bobblehead Stigs like it...
33:07 - Destination reached, and rather like the space station shuttle in Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey", we dock the cargo to a familiar refrain...
35:24 - Channel outro

** Apologies for the stock audio in this video - the original recording had, for some reason, a 4Hz pulse that became unbearable in that section. Having experienced this before, I didn't waste any time but just replaced that section with this sound clip from the YouTube Audio Library!
