Truck Racing

A race truck is faster than a Porsche 911 to 100mph!

Truck racing is pure excitement, an action packed motor sport that sees ‘tuned’ HGVs hurtling round a race track at speeds up to 100mph! Racing is extremely close, with drivers using their expertise in acceleration and braking to chase and overtake each other on a narrow race track.

The FIA Truck Racing Championship sees the 1200 bhp trucks travel across Europe, taking in eight rounds of what’s fast becoming one of the Continent’s most popular championships.
