Many of the trucks in the French championship can produce over 1000 hp. In a racing set-up, the trucks are lighter, their suspension is stiffened and they are fitted with appropriate safety devices such as roll-bars, bucket seats, ignition cut-off etc. They are also restrained and top speed limited to 160 kph.

There are two free practice sessions followed by qualifying sessions, then a super pole run-off for the top 10 qualifiers which determines the starting grid positions. There are four races in which trucks should cover a distance of at least 45k, each preceded by a warm-up.

- In races 1 and 3, the top 10 slots on the grid are determined by the Super Pole and by qualifying times for the rest of the field.

- For race 2, the starting grid is determined by race 1, with the top 6 in descending order.

- For race 4, the starting grid is determined by race 3, with the top 6 in descending order.

Points are awarded as follows:

Race 1 and 3: the top 10 score points as follows: 20, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 3, 1

Race 2 and 4: the top 10 score points as follows: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 1

During the weekend, the competitors also take part in a wheel change challenge. Two mechanics and a driver per truck must remove and refit the front left wheel in a minimum of time.
