2017: the first races in Goiânia
On 28 May 2017, Copa Truck took to the Autódromo Internacional de Goiânia for its first event. The opening season brought together regional cups across six double-header rounds. A year later came recognition as a Brazilian and South American championship, adding another milestone to a series that was finding its place on the racing calendar.
Roberval Andrade won the first race in Goiânia, and Beto Monteiro won the second. By the end of the inaugural season, Felipe Giaffone had become Copa Truck's first overall champion. Those names mark the beginning of a story built around race victories, season-long battles and the drivers who gave fans someone to follow.
2021: a new division joins the story
In 2021, Copa Truck introduced the Super Truck division for competitors with limited experience in truck racing under that season's eligibility rules. The official announcement explained that it would have a separate podium while using trucks with the same specifications as the main division. It also announced a season-long points championship.
For fans, the new division added another contest to follow. Alongside established truck racers, there was a group building experience in these machines and fighting for its own podium. Looking at each class brings more of those battles into view, including the competitors whose progress might otherwise get lost behind the overall leaders.
2024: Pro, Elite and a bigger opening grid
Copa Truck announced 36 entries for the 2024 opening round and renamed its classes Super Truck Pro and Super Truck Elite. A larger opening grid meant more drivers and more stories to follow. The two class names remain part of how that season's championship battles and achievements are remembered.
