Experienced Czech driver and 2017 European champion Adam Lacko is returning to the European Truck Racing Championship (FIA ETRC) after a three-year break and will take part in two rounds of the series.
-- Racing in Buggyra colors he will appear at the Nürburgring and also at the home event in Most, scheduled for August 30–31.
“Back then, we announced that we were stepping back and would observe how the championship develops. After the former promoter’s contract with the FIA expired, we decided to try a return. We’ve agreed to compete in two races, mainly the one in front of the home crowd here in Most,” explains Jan Kalivoda, the team’s Head of Communications, describing Adam’s big comeback.
For Lacko, this marks a return after a three-year hiatus. “After a few years, we’re coming back to the European Truck Racing Championship. There’s a chance, we won’t be racing with our Buggyra, but with the classic ‘cab-over truck’ like everyone else,” says the 2017 European champion with a smile, who is actually testing an Iveco truck prepared by six-time European champion Jochen Hahn. “I’m really looking forward to it. Three years is a long break, and the technology has moved forward a lot. Our Buggyra was always the most beautiful, but at the end we will decide for the fastest truck.”
The Czech driver already has some experience with this truck. “I drove Jochen’s Iveco once back in 2018 during a customer event, so I’m curious to see how things have evolved since then. It’s still capable of chasing the reigning champion Kiss, so I believe we’ll be fast,” he adds.
The program is clearly set for now: Buggyra will take part in two races—at the legendary Nürburgring and in Most. “We plan to do two races this year as a test, to understand where the championship is heading under FIA leadership, and then decide what’s next. Nürburgring is the biggest celebration of truck racing, but Most is extremely important for us as well,” Kalivoda explains.
The return in front of Czech fans is key for Buggyra, and cooperation with Automotoklub Most has also played a role. “Our goal is for Czech fans to fully enjoy the home races thanks to strong local names. Adam Lacko’s return to the championship is therefore great news. Adam is an icon, and the home event is a unique opportunity to see him back in action live,” says Josef Zajíček, CEO of Autodrom Most and a member of the organizing Automotoklub Most.
Lacko is preparing carefully for his return. “We have two days of testing here with our Buggyra and Téo Calvet, where we’ll try both trucks and compare everything. I’m really enjoying it,” Lacko describes.
And his goals? They remain the same as always. “I’ll try to deliver the best possible result and show myself in a good light. I hope the fans will come and support us again. Let’s see how it turns out,” Lacko concludes with a smile.
