"Truck racing is a form of motor racing which involves modified versions of
heavy tractor units on racing circuits. The sport started in the United States
at the Atlanta Motor Speedway on June 17, 1979. The sporting regulations came
under the control of the FIA later, to ensure that
the vehicles conform to the layout and original style of the truck, whilst
defining the safety standards required to race.
There are currently Truck
racing events and competitions in the US (first sanctioned by ATRA (American
Truck Racing Association), then by GATR (Great American Truck Racing), later by
DIRT (Drivers Independent Race Tracks) and now by the USHRA, United Kingdom (by
British Automobile Racing Club and British Truck Racing Association), Brazil
(branded as Fórmula Truck), India (branded as T1 Prima Truck Racing Championship
) and several other European countries (branded as European Truck Racing
Championship and sanctioned by the FIA European Truck Racing Championship)."
