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.

Jeferson Ribeiro's death had a profound impact and led to Francisco Santos leaving Fórmula Truck three years later.

In 1994, a new event for truck drivers and businessmen was created, with safety as a top priority, at the Interlagos circuit in São Paulo.

The contest began in 1995, and the four trial races were held in the cities of Cascavel and Londrina (PR), Tarumã (RS), and Goiânia (GO).

The first championship with defined rules took place in 1996 and was approved by the Confederação Brasileira de Automobilismo (Brazilian Automobile Confederation).

In restarts, pairing of the trucks is stopped and overtaking is allowed only after the checkered flag, or when the green light is lit.

In 2006, when the 12th valid lap is completed, the drivers will receive a chequered flag in green and yellow, which scores the first six places.

After restart, trucks complete the preset number of laps and make the podium in accordance with their respective classification in the race or with fewer time penalties if applicable.
