Slot Trucks

The uniqueness of truckracing…

This sport started in the United States at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in 1979 and it was used as the opening scene in the movie Smokey and the Bandit II.

Maximum race speed is restricted to 160 km/h (100 mph) for safety reasons, and a minimum weight limit is 5500 kg. Races start from a rolling start, and commonly races last from 8 to 12 laps. Although a non contact sport, due to the physical size, and closeness of trucks to one another during races, minor collisions can often occur, but injuries to drivers are very rare.
