A career that crossed different kinds of racing
Bia Figueiredo competed in the United States under the name Ana Beatriz. Her official biography connects those names and charts a career across single-seaters, touring cars and trucks. That range is a useful starting point for understanding why she is the inspiration for Bia Truck Racing: her story includes learning different cars and competing in different environments.
In 2008, she became the first woman to win a Firestone Indy Lights race, at Nashville. INDYCAR's own reporting confirms that milestone and a further victory at Iowa in 2009. Indianapolis Motor Speedway records four Indianapolis 500 starts for Ana Beatriz, in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
The 2024 achievement belongs to Super Truck Elite
On 17 November 2024, Bia secured the Copa Truck Super Truck Elite championship at the Circuito dos Cristais in Curvelo, with a round still remaining. She became the first woman to win a Copa Truck title. It added another historic achievement to a career already marked by breaking new ground.
Bia won that championship with ASG Motorsport in a Mercedes-Benz truck. In Bia Truck Racing, the IVECO 111 brings her recognizable racing identity into the game. The driver connects those different machines and chapters: a competitor whose career has taken her from single-seaters to touring cars and the imposing world of racing trucks.
A recognizable driver gives new players a way in
A racing game becomes more interesting when the name on the truck leads to a real person and a career worth exploring. Bia's achievements give this project that connection. The aim is to introduce her racing world through an approachable mobile game, while the articles and official references let curious players discover more.
Her official biography is a useful companion to the game. It offers a route through the categories she raced and the milestones behind her name. For someone discovering Bia through the 111, that background turns a familiar truck number into a starting point for following her career and the wider sport.
