Experience truck racing in a class of its own live
The largest and most impressive racing series in the world, the Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship (ETRC) is a unique motorsport spectacle in a class of its own .
The popular championship attracts around 420,000 spectators to European race tracks every year. The who’s who of the commercial vehicle industry meets there: from drivers, fleet owners, workshop managers, mechanics and commercial vehicle industry representatives.
2024 racing season
The Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship (ETRC) has once again proven itself in sustainable motorsport by moving up from 16th to 13th place in the Sustainable Championships Index™ (SChI™). This index rates the sustainability performance of motorsport championships worldwide, and the ETRC achieved this position out of a total of 105 recognised motorsport championships. The ETRC actively promotes environmentally friendly practices in the transport industry while upholding the unique character of truck racing.
T Sport Bernau is the first Goodyear FIA ETRC team to be awarded the one-star level of the FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme for its efforts to reduce its environmental impact. The programme, developed by the FIA, aims to support key players in the motorsport and automotive sector to measure and improve their environmental performance through an independent certification process.
Part of it from the very start
PE has been supporting the T Sport Bernau team with high-quality products and solutions since the team was founded in 2016. Since 2019, the team has been fully focused on the European Championship, where it is successfully racing in the top 5 together with experienced rider and three-time European champion Antonio Albacete..
Even today, T Sport Bernau always attacks the pole position and is one of the most important names in truck racing. The team is achieving better and better results every year – we are pleased that we are playing a part in this with our PE products.
„You can rely on PE 100%! The PE spare parts installed in our race truck have also passed the endurance test in the 2021 racing season. PE products scored well in all of the applications. We didn’t have a single technical failure: neither in the race, nor in qualifying or practice.”
Melanie Derflinger – Team Management + Marketing T Sport Bernau
T Sport Bernau is a professional and dedicated truck racing team that believes in finding new, innovative and interesting ways to succeed together with their partners.
Something we believe they do particularly well with the unique combination of experience, fresh ideas and passion.
Also this year, we support our team at the races for the European Championship, together with BPW Bergische Achsen KG.
Our spare parts in the race truck
In addition to the PE logo on the race truck, PE is also represented with series spare parts in the truck. These can withstand the special demands of racing.
PE has also developed special products for T Sport Bernau. For example, a special racing brake disc which, thanks to a high-quality mix of materials and optimised ventilation elements inside, offers protection against overheating and cracks. In this way, the temperature peaks of over 600 °C and the extreme temperature fluctuations caused during the races can be better absorbed thanks to water cooling.
The same applies to the race-ready wheel nut. The internal hexagon nut also withstands wheel-to-wheel contact and can still be easily loosened at any time.
