The 2022 season will see a total of 20 trucks share one grid as they battle it out for supremacy, 13 of which will run in Division 1 and the remaining seven in Division 2.

After events at Brands Hatch and Pembrey, six-time reigning champion Ryan Smith is the driver to beat in Division 1 whilst Luke Garrett holds a slender advantage at the summit of the Division 2 standings.
