The first races of the 2018 FIA ETRC are ready to take place at Misano this weekend...
The sun was shining on the Adriatico today as the 2018 combatants got their first look at each other as the new season gets ready to kick off tomorrow at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli.
With perfect conditions forecast for the weekend ahead and four action-packed races guaranteed with a full grid of FIA European Truck Racing Championship entries, the scene was set for an unforgettable weekend of action at the Petronas Urania Grand Prix Truck meeting.
Media and VIP guests got a taste of the action as they sampled some ‘hot laps’ in every sense of the word this afternoon with new faces and trucks joining the regular and familiar heroes on the grid.
A welcome Press Conference was held at the track with many media getting the lowdown on the 2018 FIA ETRC from a selection of guests which included ETRA Director, Georg Fuchs.
The first Free Practice session took place in the late afternoon sunshine as the drivers and trucks got used to the evolving track conditions and started to put down their markers for the timed official practice which begins on Saturday morning.
