At the Misano Grand Prix Truck Race

July 14, 2014
On the sidelines at a heavy truck race in Italy.

As part of a Meritor press trip to Italy in late May, we had the opportunity to watch, up close, the Misano Grand Prix Truck Race.

A leading global supplier of drivetrain, mobility, braking and aftermarket solutions for commercial vehicle and industrial markets, Meritor sponsors many of the heavy duty race tracks in Europe.

We got to go into the pits, walk on the race track where the race trucks were set to begin the race and view the race from alongside the track at the start/finish line.

Twenty tractors competed in the road course race.

It was quite an experience. Take a look at the video.
