1. A drive track for a vehicle moving on inclined surfaces, said track having a multilayer structure comprising:
an inner layer formed by a continuous strip having an inner face capable of cooperating with means for driving the track;
an intermediate layer including a plurality of damping blocks disposed over an entire length of the continuous strip of the inner layer with a predefined spacing; and
an outer running layer coming into contact with the surface on which the track moves, the running layer being formed by pads carried by the damping blocks;
wherein the damping blocks are made of an elastomer material and have a cellular structure.
