NASCAR WHELEN EURO SERIES, EMOTIONS IN AMERICAN STYLE
The NASCAR Whelen Euro Series was founded in 2009 and became the official European NASCAR Championship in 2012.
Since then, the championship has developed into one of the most exciting and fast-growing touring car series in Europe. A key to success is the championship’s structure with low barriers to enter and cost-effective solutions to provide drivers from around the world a great amount of seat time and a spectacular environment to race in all parts of Europe.
The cars are “silhouette” type with a single frame in welded tubulars with bodies that recall road cars, in particular Chevrolet SS, Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger.
The championship has historically been held on some of the most important European tracks, including Ricardo Tormo-Valencia, Brands Hatch, Most, Zolder, Grobnik and Vallelunga.
Double V Racing takes part in the NWES championship for the second consecutive year, with the Ford Mustang #27.
