Beitske Visser headlines the field of drivers set to try out the EuroNASCAR stock cars during the expanded 2026 Recruitment Test on 4-5 December 2025.
The first edition of NASCAR Euro Series’ annual Recruitment Test welcomes Beitske Visser to the list of drivers that are set to try out the EuroNASCAR stock cars at Circuits de Vendée.
Visser, along with nine other drivers across Europe and USA, will be partaking in the tests that have been expanded due to high demand from interested competitors.
The Recruitment Test was originally announced for just 5 December 2025. However, it has since been expanded into a two-day event with the addition of new slots for 4 December 2025.
NASCAR Euro Series also announced that the Recruitment Tests will be back on 30 January 2026, with applications to join the 30 January tests being made open from here on out.
“The NASCAR Euro Series is set for the return of the NASCAR Recruitment Test in its official test track at Circuits de Vendée in Fontenay-le-Comte, France,” announced EuroNASCAR on 2 December 2025.
“For the first date scheduled for December 5th, 2025, all spots were quickly booked by ten drivers who signed up from around the world.”
“With seats in high demand, additional slots were opened for December 4th. The next NASCAR Recruitment Test will be held on January 30th, 2026.”
Visser, the 30-year old from Netherlands, made her name famous from her exploits in W Series – the predecessor of the present-day F1 Academy championship.
Visser is a two-time series runner-up in the W Series, only losing to Jamie Chadwick in both 2019 and 2022.
She has since transitioned to a successful sports car racing career, where she is cubrrently racing for the all-female Giti Tire Motorsport by WS Racing team in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS).
During her time in Giti Tire Motorsport, Visser also made the decision to join BS+ Competition.
It is BS+ Competition that helped organize Visser’s EuroNASCAR test, providing her with a chance to follow the footsteps of Garrett Lowe in achieving success in the world of stock car racing.
Visser stood out in the list of drivers participating in the test as she’ll be joined by nine up-and-coming talents looking to forge their own racing career through EuroNASCAR.
Jens Beeusaert from Belgium currently competes in karting, although he has gained prior car racing experience from a one-off Belcar outing in 2024.
Vinne Meskelis from the USA carries experience from SCCA and Spec MX-5 Shootout, while Sean Canivet from France finished runner-up in the Espoirs division of the Funyo Sprint Cup.
The Finnish trio of Rasmus Pennti, Ossi Pohjanharju and Henri Timonen brings their adaptability from both rallying and circuit racing to the table.
For the American duo of Michael Polasek and Matthew Saldago, they wanted to become the next set of sim racing talents to join EuroNASCAR full-time.
The field is completed by Duje Ribaric, who aims to become the first full-time Croatian driver in the NASCAR Euro Series.
