British Truck Racing Championship


Description[edit]

The British Truck Racing Association (BTRA) is the heaviest and biggest form of motorsport in the UK. The machines weigh up to 5 tonnes and have 1000bhp. The category is split into 2 Divisions, Division 1 for more powerful machinery and Division 2 for more 'production based' trucks.

History[edit]

Originating in the US in 1979, Truck Racing came to the UK soon after and the Organisation, British Truck Racing Assosiation (BTRA) was formed in 1984.


Europe[edit]

Despite this being mostly a British Championship, the BTRA will be traveling abroad in 2024, as they are going to visit the circuit of Le Mans in France.


Most Titles[edit]

Stuart Oliver (born in Hersham in 1963) is the most successful driver in terms of BTRA titles with 10. As well as this, he is currently working as a key promoter for the championship.
