Santiago Tovar aims to defend Super Cup lead at Mexico's SpeedFest

Santiago Tovar, the three‑time champion of the tractor‑trailer category, arrives at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez to protect his lead in the 2026 Super Cup (Roshfrans). Driving the #26 Shell Rimula tractor‑trailer, he heads into the fifth round on 15 August with 360 points, a margin built on two victories and consistent performances in the first half of the season.

The race is part of the SpeedFest event, the most‑attended motorsport gathering in Mexico, drawing thousands of fans. Competing with a heavy, high‑altitude vehicle presents unique challenges in braking, traction and engine cooling. Tovar previously missed a win at the same venue due to a fuel shortage and is eager to turn that setback into a victory.
