2008 European Truck Racing Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2008 FIA European Truck Racing Championship was a multi-event motor racing championship for production based trucks held across Europe. The championship features a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded amateur drivers competing in highly modified versions of two-axle tractor units which conform to the technical regulations for the championship. It was the 24th European Truck Racing Championship season and began at Catalunya on May 11, with the finale at Jarama on October 5 after nine events. The championship was won by David Vršecký, taking his first title and the second in a row for the Buggyra team.
