The Championnat de France Camions FFSA is France’s national truck racing championship. It has carried this name since 2018; before that the series was called the Coupe de France Camions. Its roots lie in Le Mans, where France’s first truck race took place in 1981.
In 1981 Gérard César and Luc Chabot won France’s first truck race in Le Mans. In 1984 came the first Grand Prix Camions at Le Castellet in the south of France, won by Michel Gaillard. This grew into a national series with several Grands Prix at French circuits, such as Le Castellet, Nogaro, Magny-Cours, Albi and Charade. Until 2017 it was called the Coupe de France Camions.
Since 2018 the series has been an official championship under the umbrella of the French motorsport federation FFSA. The first season had six events and 25 drivers. The first champion was Anthony Janiec of Team Lion Truck Racing in a MAN, and he took his second title in 2019. He had already won the cup in 2017.
The most important weekend of the year. The French Championship, the Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship and, at times, the British series all meet here, along with a truck show and a programme for fans. The name recalls the early days; today the races are short sprints. The official count starts in 1986: 2025 was the 40th edition, and 2026 the 41st, on 26 and 27 September.
In 2020 only one Grand Prix could take place because of Covid, at Nogaro, and Téo Calvet won it. The 2020/21 season counts as a single championship; Calvet clinched the title at Le Mans in September 2021, aged 20. In 2022 biofuel became mandatory for everyone, and an eco charter was introduced as well. Calvet won every title from 2023 to 2025, and in 2026 the title went to Thomas Robineau.
The race trucks are based on heavy production tractor units but rebuilt for motorsport: more than 1,000 hp, a minimum weight of around 5.4 tonnes, top speed limited to 160 km/h, plus a roll cage, racing seat and fire extinguishing system. A race weekend consists of qualifying, Superpole and four races.
