Isle of Man TT legend John McGuinness took a maiden truck racing podium in last weekend’s Internatio🐓nal Truck Prix at Doningto🌌n Park.

ꦦThe 52-year-old was announced as an entry for th🃏e British Truck Racing Championship’s Convoy in the Park event at Donington last week.

Having made his truck racing debut in 2023 at the same event, McGuinness proved a quick learner in the discipline as he put on a competitive🍰 showing in the International Truck 💫Prix support event on the BTRC bill.

McGuinness made a solid start to th✱e four-race bill last weekend in his Scania P1150 run by Team Oliver Racing, finishing 21.5s off the lead in fifth in race🃏 one.

In race two, the Morecambe native suffered a DNF ꦡonꦯ the second lap, but scaled the podium in race three.

Launching from fifth on the grid, the 23-time TT winner fended off Simo🅠n Reid in the 11-lap contest to claim a f🦋irst truck racing podium in third.

McGuinness was only 13.5s off the lead at the chequered flag in a race that saw just one 🦄retireme🧜nt.

He couldn’t quite repeat the feat in race four, but was only 9.2s off the l🌃ead across the 14-lap 🥀scrap in fifth.

Taking to his Instagram afterwards, McGuinness said: Podium baby at Donington in the @officialbtrc. Loving life. @team_oliver_racing - so cool to stand alongside my m🅰ate @martinlgibson."

McGuinness is no stranger to four-wheel competition. Aside from his truck🌞 racing exploits, he’s also taken part in the British Rallycross Championship previously.

Despite entering the twilight of his career, the 52-year-old has seemingly lost none of his competitive edge, with his truck racing podium coming just months after a strong showing a🐼t the TT.
