We've Got Ourselves Another Convoy!

- Dan Parton

The suspense is over – the ultimate celebration of trucks and drivers is back for 2018! After a successful inaugural in 2017, Convoy in the Park is returning to Donington Park in Derbyshire on 21-22 July with more trucks, thrills and entertainment for all the family.

Last year thousands of truck drivers, their families and enthusiasts descended on Donington in late July for an event that had a real festival feel.

This year, Convoy in the Park will again combine the best elements of European-style truck shows with the excitement of top-class truck racing.

Truck racing will again form the centrepiece of the on-track action. Round five of the British Truck Racing Championship will take place across the weekend with at least four races in each division.

In 2017, the racing was always close and at speeds of up to 100mph made for an impressive and thrilling sight. With reverse grids in operation from the second race onwards, there will be plenty of front-runners charging through the field, leading to plenty of overtaking action.

In 2018, Ryan Smith will be looking to make it a hat-trick of Division 1 titles, but there will be plenty of other drivers determined to take his crown.

There will be a full programme of support races – from single-seaters to saloons – ensuring that there is on-track action throughout both days.
