A message from our owner Reza on World of EuroNASCAR’s plan to expand with coverage of races from the NASCAR Brasil Series, V8 Thunder Cars and EuroLegend Cup.
Hello to all of our readers,
World of EuroNASCAR is entering a new era with the addition of a new section for reports from various racing championships around the world. These reports can be checked in the Other Series section, accessible from the main navigation menu.
Three series have been selected as the championships that will be covered by the Other Series tab: NASCAR Brasil Series, V8 Thunder Cars and EuroLegend Cup.
I’m very excited to be delivering coverage from these fantastic series’ as they all have made a lasting impression to either myself or the EuroNASCAR family, which motivated me to create reports for their upcoming races and potentially major official announcements.
Of course, I will still mainly be covering the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series on this website. There’s still plenty of EuroNASCAR content that is in the works and I will be working hard to ensure that those will see a release in the future.
Think of the addition of NASCAR Brazil, V8 Thunder Cars and EuroLegend Cup content as a diversification for myself. Something that would allow me to spread my wings to previously unexplored areas of motorsport.
World of EuroNASCAR was formed with the idea of increasing public awareness to the EuroNASCAR series and I hope my diversification with NASCAR Brazil, V8 Thunder Cars and EuroLegend Cup allows them to receive the same attention from not only our readers, but also from motorsport fans all around the world.
As always, thank you very much to everyone that has supported World of EuroNASCAR! This new project will not be possible without your support and I’m always thankful for the readers that have made World of EuroNASCAR into what it is now.
Thank you once again and best regards to everyone from myself,
Reza Maulana
Owner of World of EuroNASCAR
An Introduction to the Newly Covered Series
NASCAR Brasil Series, previously known as the NASCAR Brasil Sprint Race, is the newest series to be sanctioned by NASCAR. Formed in 2012 by Thiago Marques, the series was integrated into NASCAR’s international division in 2023.
I have been following the races closely and I’m happy to say that I’m impressed with the on-track product delivered by NASCAR Brazil. The races are also easily accessible as it’s livestreamed on their official YouTube channel.
In addition, NASCAR Brazil’s races were held in the morning hours, making it a perfect fit for the night hours of Indonesia. All of these elements are a deciding factor that led me to include them as one of the series that will be covered by World of EuroNASCAR.
V8 Thunder Cars (V8TC) is a Swedish racing series for silhouette muscle cars that has been held since 1975.
V8TC currently races TA2-spec Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang and Mercedes-Benz W205 C-Class built by Howe Racing that provide Swedish fans with the roaring atmosphere of V8 engines racing in their local road courses.
Several V8TC drivers and teams have made the jump to the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series to test their ability against the best in European stock car racing. The most notable name to do so is 2016 V8TC champion Alexander Graff, who finished runner-up in the 2022 EuroNASCAR season.
Recently, V8TC have started to livestream their races on their YouTube channel. This increase of accessibility for viewers, coupled with their past crossover with EuroNASCAR, led me to choose them as one of the three series that will be covered by World of EuroNASCAR.
EuroLegend Cup is the all-European legends car championship formed by Italian organizers GP2EMME as the leading support series for the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series.
Legend cars racing is a growing sport in Europe and has reached a significant presence in countries like Italy and Finland. Drivers such as Alberto Naska, Claudio Remigio Cappelli and Henri Tuomaala have proved that the skills in legend cars translates to success in EuroNASCAR.
While the 2024 season of EuroLegend Cup has been canceled owing to problems with earning the permission to race in several countries, it deserves to be added as a series that will be covered in World of EuroNASCAR as I have been making occasional EuroLegend Cup coverage last year.
