FIA European Truck Racing Championship: A Mirrey’s Guide to the Exciting New Qualifying Format

Welcome, fellow truck racing enthusiasts, to the dawn of a new era in the FIA European Truck Racing Championship! Hold onto your designer sunglasses and buckle up as we dive into the latest updates and changes coming to the 2024 season. Get ready for a wild ride as we break down the thrilling new qualifying format, updated technical regulations, and more in true mirrey style.

Exciting New Qualifying Format: A Game-Changer

Forget what you knew about the old qualifying sessions – we’re stepping up our game with a dynamic three-stage format that will leave you on the edge of your Louis Vuitton seat. Say goodbye to the single qualifying session and hello to Q1, Q2, and Q3, where drivers will battle it out for pole position in a heart-pounding showdown.

In Q1, it’s every man for himself as drivers push their trucks to the limit to secure a spot in the next round. The top contenders will then advance to Q2, where the intensity ramps up as the fastest 12 drivers go head-to-head for grid positions 7-12. And finally, in Q3, the top 6 drivers will engage in a nail-biting shootout to determine the coveted pole position.

With the new qualifying format, we’re set to witness fierce competition, strategic maneuvers, and adrenaline-fueled action like never before. Get ready to witness the true talents of the top contenders shine through in this electrifying new format.

Format Changes: TITAN vs. CHROME

What’s better than one championship title? Two, of course! In a move to increase competition and recognition for drivers, the championship will now feature two distinct categories: TITAN and CHROME. Imagine the prestige of being a TITAN or CHROME winner – it’s like winning the lottery in a pair of Gucci loafers.

Drivers will compete within their respective categories throughout the season, with each category crowned with an official FIA title at the end. No more settling for second place – it’s all about the glory and recognition that comes with being a TITAN or CHROME champion.

Updated Technical Regulations: Keeping It Classy

Behind every powerful truck is a set of regulations that ensure fair play and safety on the track. The 2024 season brings a key update with the limitation of the caster angle for the front axle to 30 degrees. This standardization is a game-changer, addressing steering mechanics and mechanical part damage for a smoother, more controlled race.

By implementing a maximum caster angle, the championship is raising the bar for truck performance while ensuring the longevity of critical components. Because let’s face it – a truck without proper maintenance is like a mirrey without his Rolex: flashy on the outside, but falling apart on the inside.

New Improved Tyres: Grip It and Rip It

Get ready to grip it and rip it with the new Truck Racing Tyres from Goodyear. These bad boys are designed to deliver maximum grip, especially in wet conditions, raising the safety standards in truck racing to new heights. With increased durability and sustainability efforts, these tyres are set to revolutionize the way we race.

Say goodbye to slipping and sliding on the track – the new tyres are here to keep you grounded and tearing up the asphalt like a true mirrey on a mission. Safety first, style always.

13 Full-Season Entries: The Battle Begins

As we gear up for the seven-event season, the lineup of drivers is nothing short of legendary. Leading the charge is Norbert Kiss, a five-time champion and driving force in the championship’s history. With his révész Racing MAN, Kiss is set to defend his crown and add a sixth title to his impressive record. And let’s not forget about six-time champion Jochen Hahn, who is hungry to reclaim the top spot.

With the likes of Sascha Lenz and other top contenders in the mix, the battle for supremacy is shaping up to be a clash of titans.
