EuroNASCAR revealed a six-round calendar for 2026, confirming the returns of Circuit Ricardo Tormo and Circuit Zolder and the addition of a new NASCAR GP.

NASCAR Euro Series have officially announced the schedule for the upcoming 2026 season. The series is set to introduce a new, currently unannounced venue for its six-round schedule next year.
In addition to the currently unannounced venue, Circuit Ricardo Tormo and Circuit Zolder have also booked their spots in the calendar for 2026. Both tracks will retain their positions as the season opener and finale rounds respectively.
The schedule announcement was made on 10 October 2025, right in the middle of the NASCAR Euro Series Finals weekend.
“The NASCAR Euro Series has officially announced the first and final rounds of its 2026 championship,” announced EuroNASCAR. “It confirms its traditional start at Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain, and the return of the NASCAR Euro Finals to Circuit Zolder in Belgium.”
“The Spanish venue, a staple of the series, will once again host the first Pure Racing battles of the year, combining world-class facilities, perfect weather, and one of the most passionate motorsport crowds in Europe.”
“As tradition dictates, the curtain will fall in Belgium where the NASCAR Euro Finals will take place at Circuit Zolder on October 17–18.”
“The legendary track will once again crown the NASCAR Euro Series champions after a weekend of high-intensity racing, drama, and celebration in front of thousands of loyal fans.”
When compared to 2025, Circuit Ricardo Tormo’s 2026 opener will be held on the third weekend of April – 18-19 April – instead of the second.
A similar change has also been implemented to the EuroNASCAR Finals. Zolder will therefore host the season finale on the third weekend of October in 17-18 October.
The new NASCAR GP is scheduled for 23-24 May. The date presents an interesting proposition for the teams as there’s only two weeks separating it and American SpeedFest in Brands Hatch.
“Spain and Belgium are two cornerstones of our championship,” said Jerome Galpin, EuroNASCAR’s founder and CEO. “Valencia has been our perfect season opener for years, and Zolder is where legends are crowned.”
“We’re thrilled to confirm both events and to tease our fans with a new, incredible destination that we can’t wait to unveil soon. The 2026 season will take the Pure Racing experience to an even higher level.”
Valencia, Zolder and the TBD venue joins Brands Hatch, Autodromo Vallelunga and Autodrom Most as the six tracks that will host EuroNASCAR in 2026.
Brands Hatch will return to its traditional June date. For 2026, it’s set to be held on 6-7 June. Autodrom Most also retains its August date, tentatively being set for 29-30 August.
The announcement also confirms the departure of Motorsport Arena Oschersleben after three seasons in the series.
Autodromo Vallelunga will replace Oschersleben in the September slot, where it’s set to be the round that starts the 2026 Playoffs on 19-20 September.
