2020 Copa Truck season

The 2020 Brazilian Truck Cup Championship is the fourth season of the Truck Cup. Beto Monteiro defended his previous years title and became the 2020 Copa Truck Champion in a Volkswagen from R9 Competições. In a Pandemic shortened schedule with a few double venue visits which came together around middle of the year, there were two new domestic Manufacturers present this year as well in Remanufatura Brasil and Protótipo.

Season information

The category's origins came after nine teams left Formula Truck due to disagreements with the problematic management of Neusa Navarro Félix. These teams joined together in an association to create the category that replaced Formula Truck.[1][2] The new category brings together teams and drivers from the old category.

In November 2017, it was approved by the Brazilian Automobile Confederation (CBA) and recognized as an official championship. Carlos Col, former head of the Stock Car Pro Series, is its promoter.[3]

The Truck Cup was officially launched on April 27, 2017, in São Paulo. In the first season, the championship was divided into three regional cups: Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast. The first stage took place on May 28, in Goiânia, with 17 trucks on the grid.

The association is made up of the following teams: RM Competições, AJ5 Sports, DF Motorsport, RVR Motorsports, Dakar Motors, Fábio Fogaça Motorsports, Lucar Motorsports and Clay Truck Racing.[4]
