As the legendary Nürburgring comes alive for the 40th International ADAC Truck Grand Prix from 10–12 July 2026, SPEEDLINE TRUCK will once again be at the heart of the action. The commercial vehicle brand of the RONAL GROUP continues its passionate commitment to international truck racing throughout the 2026 season. For the brand, the racetrack is far more than a stage – it is the ultimate proving ground for developing pioneering aluminium wheel technologies.
To mark this milestone anniversary, two leading teams will compete on forged SPEEDLINE TRUCK wheels, pushing performance to the limit.
Strong Partners in the Fight for Every Hundredth of a Second
SPEEDLINE TRUCK is once again partnering with two outstanding teams in the Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship: T Sport Bernau, led by multiple European Champion Antonio Albacete, and Tankpool24 Racing, with driver Steffen Faas.
Both race trucks rely on forged SPEEDLINE TRUCK SLT 2907 BU aluminium wheels in 22.5 x 9.00. Engineered to withstand the extreme demands of professional motorsport, these wheels combine minimum weight with maximum strength and uncompromising reliability – the crucial advantages that can make the difference in intense wheel-to-wheel racing.
From the Toughest Racing Test Straight to the Road: UltraShield Technology
Every second counts on the racetrack – and this is where SPEEDLINE TRUCK’s UltraShield surface technology proves its performance. Developed to withstand the harshest operating conditions, the innovative protective coating significantly reduces the adhesion of aggressive brake dust and dirt, even under the extreme temperatures generated during racing. In the fast-paced environment of the paddock, this makes wheel cleaning considerably easier while helping maintain a clean, professional appearance throughout the event.
However, the demanding conditions at the Nürburgring serve a much greater purpose. Technologies that prove themselves under the extreme stresses of truck racing deliver tangible benefits for fleet operators and drivers in everyday use. Reduced maintenance, lower dirt adhesion, enhanced durability and a long-lasting premium appearance translate directly into greater efficiency on roads around the world.
“Truck racing is the ultimate platform for demonstrating the uncompromising performance of our products under extreme conditions,” says Erwin Eigel, Managing Director of RONAL Performance GmbH. “With our forged aluminium wheels and innovations such as UltraShield, we demonstrate how genuine technology transfer works. The knowledge gained on the racetrack flows directly into the development of our production wheels, delivering measurable benefits to our customers every day.”
Experience Motorsport Up Close in the Paddock
Throughout the race weekend, the SPEEDLINE TRUCK team will be present at the Tankpool24 stand in the paddock, bringing the excitement of truck racing directly to customers, partners and fans.
Visitors can look forward to technical discussions, expert advice and valuable insights into the latest SPEEDLINE TRUCK innovations. In addition, highlights from the RONAL passenger car aftermarket portfolio will also be on display.
For four decades, the International ADAC Truck Grand Prix has been one of the industry’s premier events for the transport and commercial vehicle sector. At its 40th anniversary, SPEEDLINE TRUCK will once again use this unique platform to showcase innovation, strengthen customer relationships and demonstrate the technologies shaping the future of commercial vehicle wheels.
