Decision of the FIA World Motor Sport Council - 12 races in 2013

04. October 2012A few days ago, the FIA published at the last meeting of the World Motor Sport Council in Paris a seven-page press release to approximately 15 FIA series. The short part about the FIA European Truck Racing Championship nearly got lost: “A new system of points will be Introduced to allow each competitor entered in the Championship to score points for the teams’ title with its two best-classified trucks in each event. The 2013 FIA ETRC calendar will be confirmed at the December WMSC meeting. There will be however 12 events with 10 counting towards the title.”
In Jarama for the first time the truck racers will come together since that decision. More than the modifications in the team championship they will certainly discuss that there will be 12 events now, albeit ten of them should count to the championship. So the FIA want to meet the desire of the teams which have written for a long time 10 races in 10 countries as a maxim on the flags - but probably not simultaneously alienate the organizers of the FIA ETRC races.
