Pedro Muffato de Paraná is back on the tracks and will take part in the opening round of the Formula Truck 2023 season, on the 12th, in Guaporé, Rio Grande do Sul. The 82-year-old veteran driver says it’s a “temporary retirement”. Last year he won four of the eight stages, winning the stages of Cascavel (fourth and eighth), São Paulo (fifth) and Guaporé (sixth), becoming second in the electronic category, although he did not participated in three stages. of the season. He added 194 points, compared to 231 for champion Rogério Agostini.

Pedro Muffato will run to Guaporé to collaborate with coach Dico, owner of the truck. “It’s a temporary retirement. The truck had been sold, but the deal did not go through. As Dico has to put the truck on the track so as not to lose the place, I decided to collaborate with him and I’m going to race. Then I’ll see what happens. I stop as soon as the truck is sold”, explains Muffato.

Formula Truck is promoted and organized by Gilberto Hidalgo, supervisor of the Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo federations; sponsorship of JK Tire and Silvercap, and support of Meritor, Eckisiel and Platodiesel.
