EuroNASCAR’s annual “scholarship” talent search Drivers Recruitment Program is set to make its return for the 2025 edition on 23 October and 25 November.
NASCAR Whelen Euro Series has announced the dates for the 2025 edition of Drivers Recruitment Program (DRP). The annual tests to find new talents for EuroNASCAR are set to be held on 23 October and 15 November at Circuits de Vendée in Fontenay-le-Comte.
“The NASCAR Drivers Recruitment Program will return ahead of the 2025 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series season with two test days on October 23rd and November 15th at the Circuits de Vendée in Fontenay Le Comte, France,” announced EuroNASCAR on 23 July.
“The program represents the best opportunity for all sorts of drivers to test the ultimate ‘Pure Racing’ EuroNASCAR car and potentially earn a scholarship to join the official NASCAR European championship, the best stepping stone towards a NASCAR career in the US.”
The Drivers Recruitment Program has proved itself to be one of the best ways for drivers to test out the EuroNASCAR stock cars. This unique opportunity will give participants to try a machine that’s unlike any other in Europe.
As always, there are three packages that will be offered:
- Discovery package: The basic package that includes 2 on-track test sessions. Available for €950.
- Advanced package: The intermediate package, which includes 6 on-track test sessions. Available for €2,500.
- Pro package: The full package in which a driver gets 1 dedicated car for a full day of testing. Available for €5,900.
In addition, the following requirements must be met by anyone registering for the DRP:
- Present a good racing experience in car or karting.
- Eligible for the FIA International License.
- Capable of gathering a minimum of 50% of the season budget (approximately €50,000).
