The Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship (ETRC) is a unique experience for motorsport fans — one of the most spectacular event series in its category, where power, skill and technology all compete at the highest level. We are proud of our enduring partnership with the organisers.
At Howmet Wheel Systems — manufacturer of forged aluminium wheels for trucks, trailers and buses — we know that in a competition like this, our work matters. In fact, it is put to the test. This is the kind of challenge where, alongside driver skill and performance, every gram saved can make a difference — and where the true durability of a wheel is proven under real pressure
At the Goodyear FIA ETRC event held in Misano on the final weekend of May, attended by more than 35,000 motorsport fans, visitors to our stand in the fan zone had the opportunity to explore members of the Alcoa® Ultra ONE® wheel family, as well as a range of Alcoa® Wheels accessory products.
Howmet Aerospace is behind numerous innovative products, including the patented technologies of forged aluminium Alcoa® wheels, such as Dura-Bright®, Dura-Flange®, LvL ONE®, Dura-Bright® / Dura-Flange® and Ultra ONE®. On site, visitors were able to view wheels in the following specifications: 22.5″ x 7.50″, 22.5″ x 8.25″, 22.5″ x 9.00″, 22.5″ x 11.75″ offset 120, 22.5″ x 8.25″ 4.1-tonne, and 22.5″ x 11.75″ offset 0.
Beyond the products on display, visitors could also learn more about the company, Dura-Bright® surface treatment technology, the MagnaForce® alloy, our sustainability and environmental initiatives, and our versatile mobile application with its wide range of useful features. And, of course, we also brought along the ever-popular table football game.
After Misano, you can still meet us this year at the Nürburgring on 10–12 July, at the Lausitzring on 20–21 June, and at Le Mans Bugatti on 26–27 September.
