Meet The Stars
Antonio AlbaceteAntonio Albacete’s win in Jarema, Spain, last year netted him the tenth European Truck Racing championship for MAN. Antonio fulfilled his dream, clinching the title for the third time following wins in 2005 and 2006. The Spaniard was the only one of the top five drivers to score points in every single race.
The 2010 season also saw the new champion setting up another record: on the race weekend in Albacete he won three out of four races and was second in the fourth - a feat none of his competitors came anywhere near emulating.
