Fórmula Truck was a Brazilian motorsport series, competed in by truck tractor units.

The concept originated from discussions between Aurélio Batista Félix, a truck driver from Santos, and Portuguese journalist Francisco Santos.

On September 6th 1987, the first race took place at the circuit Autodromo Internacional de Cascavel in Paraná. The trial involved 35 competitors and was named, I Copa Brasil de Caminhões (1st Brazil Trucks’ Cup), and served as a test to ascertain the safety of this new type of race. However, there was a fatal accident involving one of the participants: Jeferson Ribeiro da Fonseca, a driver who was also the president of Autodromo Internacional de Cascavel. This disturbed the project, resulting in Francisco Santos being made to leave three years later.

In 1994 safety was made a priority for the creation of a new event for truck drivers and businessmen in the sector at the Interlagos circuit in São Paulo. The consolidation begun in 1995, with the four trials, held in the cities of Cascavel and Londrina (PR), Tarumã (RS) and Goiânia (GO). In the latter city, the crowds were over 120,000 people.

The first championship with defined rules took place In 1996, and was approved by the Confederação Brasileira de Automobilismo (Brazilian Automobile Confederation). The first official competition took place in Guaporé (RS), and had 13 trucks on the grid.

On March 5, 2008, the creator of Formula Truck, Aurélio Batista Félix, died of a stomach hemorrhage. He had heart problems and suffered a heart attack in the first stage of the 2008 season, which had been held in Guaporé.

In 2010, the organization announced a South American championship; Roberval Andrade was crowned champion. In 2011, three races were announced for the South American Championship.
