Through its long-standing partnership with the Goodyear FIA ETRC, Howmet Wheel Systems will showcase the newest members of its Ultra ONE® wheel family and accessory products for Alcoa® Wheels at Misano (30-31 May) and Le Mans (26-27 September).
At both venues, Howmet Wheel Systems, a worldwide producer of forged aluminium wheels for trucks, trailers and buses, will host a dedicated display area within the ever-popular fan zones.
Visitors to the Misano and Le Mans Goodyear FIA ETRC events will get the chance to view the latest range from Alcoa Wheels, find out more about the company, its Dura-Bright surface treatment, plus other products and services.
As the opening event of the Goodyear FIA ETRC season, the Misano Truck Grand Prix is expected to attract more than 35,000 truck and truck racing enthusiasts to the Misano World Circuit close to Rimini on Italy’s Adriatic coast. Billed as the Truckers’ Weekend, the event’s fan zone is attended by other major truck and accessory brands, with test drives, shows and the big customised truck meeting all part of the ongoing appeal.
The Goodyear FIA ETRC’s visit to Le Mans for the penultimate round of the 2026 season, meanwhile, forms part of the 24H Camions event, which ran for the first time in 1981 and features racing, displays, shows and much more.
