Free Practice 1
Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship
The Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship (FIA ETRC) was founded in 2006 and is the highest level in the discipline. A driver and team title are awarded each season. The races are spectacular and there are nine meetings scheduled this season. The Le Mans round is the penultimate event on the 2023 calendar. Drivers benefit from two free practice sessions to help them get their bearings on the Bugatti Circuit. They also take this opportunity to tweak their truck’s settings, ready for qualifying. Free practice is thus the starting point for a successful race weekend.
