The Copa Truck is a Brazilian auto racing series, composed of trucks prepared for race.{{Cite web |url=http://www.cba.org.br/_img/dinamics/regulamentos/copa-truck-regulamento-tecnico-copa-truck-2018.site.pdf |title=CBA – Regulamento Técnico Copa Truck 2018 |access-date=2019-05-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180324101536/http://www.cba.org.br/_img/dinamics/regulamentos/copa-truck-regulamento-tecnico-copa-truck-2018.site.pdf |archive-date=2018-03-24 |url-status=dead }} The category replaced the Fórmula Truck series in 2017.{{Cite web | url=http://f1mania.lance.com.br/formula-truck/cba-confirma-rescisao-de-contrato-com-formula-truck/ | title=CBA confirma rescisão de contrato com a Fórmula Truck – Truck| date=2017-06-29}}
History
The origin of the category came after nine teams left Formula Truck because of disagreements with the troubled management of Neusa Navarro Félix.{{Cite web|url=http://www.bonde.com.br/esportes/automobilismo/nove-equipes-da-formula-truck-abandonam-temporada-2017-436803.html|title=Nove equipes da Fórmula Truck abandonam temporada 2017|language=pt|trans-title=Nine Formula Truck teams leave 2017 season}}{{Cite web | url=http://f1mania.lance.com.br/formula-truck/apesar-de-debandada-f-truck-reafirma-realizacao-campeonato/ |title = Apesar de debandada, F-Truck reafirma realização do campeonato – Truck|date = 2017-03-11}} These teams joined in an association, creating the category that came to replace Fórmula Truck. The new category brought together all the teams and drivers of the old category.{{Cite web |url=http://www.racingmotorsports.com.br/NoticiasDetalhe/66/13264/-noticias/copa-truck-substitui-definitivamente-a-f-truck/ |title=Copa Truck substitui definitivamente a F-Truck Racing 08/11/2017 |access-date=2019-05-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180202190556/http://www.racingmotorsports.com.br/NoticiasDetalhe/66/13264/-noticias/copa-truck-substitui-definitivamente-a-f-truck/ |archive-date=2018-02-02 |url-status=dead }} In November 2017, it was homologated by the Brazilian Confederation of Automobilismo (CBA) and was recognised as an official championship.{{cite journal|date=8 November 2017|title=Agora nacional, Copa Truck revela calendário para 2018|url=http://racingonline.com.br/noticias/agora-nacional-copa-truck-revela-calendario-para-2018/|journal=Racing Online|language=pt-BR}}
