It's actually an H1.
"Sandstorm is Red Team's veteran racer.
Sandstorm began life as a 1986 model 998 HMMWV (High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle). Automotive upgrades include a fresh engine and suspension. Shock isolation softens the ride for computers and sensors.
Drive-by-wire modifications control the acceleration, braking and shifting of the vehicle. Communication between these modules is accomplished through TTP. Positive emergency braking is pneumatically released with a home-built design. Steering actuation incorporates actuators from HD Systems.
The most visible configuration elements are sensors aboard an actuated gimbal platform positioned atop the shock-isolated enclosure. Sandstorm carries vision, radar, laser and GPS sensors which are externally mounted. The three-layer mounting provides the advantages of active stabilization that rides atop passive mechanical isolation that rides above the vehicle suspension."
